Who makes the toughest 4lb line?
I have been using Mr. Crappie hi vis and it breaks off way too easy. I want something that might have a chance of coming loose or straitin out the hook. I fish clear water so I dont want to use 6lb. Thanks

I switched to Suffix hi vis with decent results. Used to use Mr. Crappie, but it has really gone down hill recently.

According to Gamma the 4# tests at 8.5#'s. I can't vouch for that but I can tell you that I consistently straighten #4 sickles when I hang up using the 6#.....it's also limp with very little memory.
Good stuff!!

They dont make it anymore Varioptic 4# made in Germany, super tough. Try Spiderwire Supermono in 4# it's hard to find sometimes but really good. I hear the Vicious Panfish is also good, we cant get it here yet.

i must have gotten a good spool of mr crappie #4. i havent had any break offs as of yet. i did get hung up the other but the leader broke before my line did.

In my opinion, if "4#" line is breaking at 8.5#, it should be labeled as 8# line.Originally Posted by TxBuddha

Agreed.
That's a big problem with line, IMO -- no consistency in labeling. One companies 8# is another company's 4# or 6#.
I ignore the breaking strength on the package and just go by line diameter. A true 4# line is around .17mm. Maxima and Spider Wire are the only ones I know of that sell line in this diameter and actually call it 4# line. Almost all the others' 4# line is .20mm or better.

It looks like there are many different opinions on line. I thought about trying the hi vis suffix but I have not seen any around here.
