My favorite line is still Bass Pro Shop Excel.

It was good line when made in the USA, not so much now that it’s made in China.

Not everything .... my Vicious Panfish Copoly line is made in the USA. And you can still find USA made fishing rods, reels, tackle, and electronics.

Years ago I used 2# line. It is fun to cast but I always had a bass or some other more aggressive fish break it while crappie fishing.

I’ve been using 2# test and UL rods almost exclusively for 10 years now. While I love catching bluegill and crappie I also chase smallmouth.....KY bass....and white bass with the same setup. I’ll average around 1000 smallmouth a year......many of them going 21 inches. I don’t post those trips here as it is a crappie forum. I will burn the road up going to Dale Hollow in the spring and for about a 2 month period I will catch anywhere from 20-80 smallmouth in a day.
It is rare for me to break a fish off using 2# test. It is not as difficult to land big fish on light line as people think. I also...not by choice.....get into a lot of buffalo in the spring that weigh as much as 15 pounds while crappie fishing some places.

I have fished with 2 lb test line many times. I can't imagine crappie fishing with 1 lb test unless I am fishing bridge pilings. All my other spots are full of brush so it would not be a wise move. I may try it with white bass since they are a open water fish around here. Using 2 lb test will force you to use your drag correctly. I best has been a 9 lb hybrid on 4 lb test line. That fish really tested my patience.

A couple of these will test 2 lb Trout Magnets SOS Line.
