Thread: Best brand of hi-vis yellow monofilament

I have used many of the brands mentioned. I change out my line pretty regular so I don't have issues with it breaking on me. With that being said, I have had line breaks anyway and I sometimes think it is a crap shot when we go purchase line if it's fresh line or not. I have had no issues with Vicious hi vis 6#. The others in my opinion are not far behind. I have moved away from vicious to try the other brands and save on shipping costs (there is a bps close by). Once I use up the spools I now have, I think I will rotate back to Vicious. The absolute strongest line out there is the Mr. Crappie Camo no matter what size! The draw back is you can't see it but my thinking is neither can the fish... I will always have camo in my arsenal. For hi vis, go with Vic!

Using 4# Stren gold currently and like it so far. Used the CrappieMax last few years and I will say it was very strong for 4# line.. But, you have to change often. The line twist, line stretch, and memory are the worst I've ever seen.
Personally, I think the red box Trilene XL is excellent line. Used to use it exclusively, but my eyes have become used to high vis stuff and it's not offered in Trilene XL 4#.

I ended up having to replace the 4# Suffix after 4 or 5 outings. Kept kinking up in the reel and so I was down to half the spool. I replaced it with 6# Mr Crappie and so far so good. I haven't had much luck with any 4# line on my Pfluger reel.

I usually fish 6# P-line original. It's hard to find as I have to special order it. It's not hi-vis (grey) but the strength is amazing. We routinely lift 2 lb whites in the boat with it. That being said there are times I want hi-vis. I tried the Mr. Crappie 6# and it was ok but won't cast as well. Going to try Suffix and the P-Line hi-vis next and see what they do.

Been using Mr Crappie 6# for the last 2 years with no trouble at all. Landed a 30# blue cat with it. We push, pull and single pole with it. Gotta be careful putting any line on spinning reels and watch for twist.

Re-spooled two different spinning reels with Sufix Elite 6lb hi vis and used them both this weekend. Very good initial impression. No problem whatsoever. I will be replacing more reels with Sufix Elite hi vis.

VICIOUS Hi-VIS YELLOW if it's not available will use P LINE HI-ViS​

Stren gold 6#
