2lb trout sos... good stuff
For those using 2# mono what brand are you using and do you like it? I just tried the Stren crappie mono. It’s ok but wondering if there is better.

I like the Stren crappie mono a lot, but I’m currently using Trilene XL 2#. It’s good.
Vicious, hi vis.
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
I have tried Trilene, Stren crappie hi vis, vicious, and another I can’t remember right now, and I like the Stren the best. If you want to up your castibility, try 2lb Nanofil. Hands down my favorite.

I never was a fan of braid except on my baitcasters. The 12-18# test just didn't suit me on spinning reels.
Then I put 6# HiVis Fireline on one of my ultralight reels and it is really impressive. It is diameter of 2# test mono. My buddy and I fish his pond using light tackle for crappie and bream but occasionally a 4-6# Largemouth hits. The Fireline handles most anything I catch. We also noticed I could cast a good bit further than he could using 6# mono. We were using identical little Rapala plugs.
So I set up a second outfit with the Fireline.

Do you want to fish true 2# rated mono or mono that is just labeled 2# test but is most likely 4# test. I use SOS 2# test mono....love it but it is probably really 3.5# rated line...but casts great and is very soft and reasonably priced. My real 2# rated lines are out of Japan. But there are premium mono lines available here.....PLine and Maxima are true 2 pound lines....and there are others. If you ever try the 2# rated mono lines out of Japan I think you will find they are far superior to most lines sold here. They are thin.....many at .105mm diameter, but that gives you greater sensitivity. Here is a chart that gives you the diameter of mono lines and the pound test rating. I just find it odd that most US market lines break much higher than the rating they are sold at.

I have a lifetime worth of SOS 2 lb line. I found it on clearance at Walmart for 65 cent a spool. It makes for a great light line.
