I buy a super sized roll each year about this time off of ebay. I prefer the 12#. it will last me all year. and I don't have the wasted amount on the end of a spool like I did with several small sized rolls. I always respool about 25 reels before we go to darbonne. the big roll normally costs me about 45$+shipping. but it is only an annual expense and I can live with that.

Stren is a proven line they have been around longer than most brands ! I have just always been a Berkley guy but my dad always uses old school stren the blue stuff.

I like the Mr. crappie just fine, but I use the 8# camo. Don't they have a bass pro near you Cory?

Yeah but I do my best to stay away from that place. LOL I cannot stand the parking scince that stupid casino opened next door they all pour over int othe Bass pro parkinglot. Im sure the suffix will do jsut fine if not Ill try the stren .

Had breakage issues with the 6 and 8 MC line too. Switched to Vicious HiViz and love it. I did find the small filler spools were 50/50 in quality but the bulk spools of Vicious HiViz have all been perfect. Over 2000 yards for about $8 off Monk's Crappie web site. Second choice would be the Stren Gold when you can get it. Its good stuff too.

Mono or Braid??? I never use braid before, but been thinking about it lately due to some breakage with mono.

I like Vicious Florocarbon 10# when there finiky but use 15-20# braid fishing cover most of the time. Braid is tough and I like the way it fishes; got a good feel.

I prefer Vicious hi viz 6lb over Mr Crappie....not as many twists
