For over 40 years, I've used Trilene XL 2# test. Very reliable. But now I use it only as a leader on 2# test Fireline as my main lines. Been doing this for over a decade now. One full season (2015) I used nothing but Nanofil. Then I stripped it off all my reels and went back to Fireline. The knots were the problem with the Nano, as well as poor breaking strength. And there is nothing Nano can do that Fireline can't. A better alternative, in my opinion.

I’m a little scared using to heavy of a braid in a kayak. Trying to pull free from a snag without tipping over is how I broke my rod tip....

This is 6# test remember. With braid I have a short dowel that I wrap the line around to either break off or retrieve a hung up lure. First braid I used was 80# on King Salmon in Oregon. I learned real fast not to ever wrap braid around your hand to free a plug.

I like the Stren crappie mono a lot, but I’m currently using Trilene XL 2#. It’s good.

I like the Stren Crappie Mono too but I'm not buying anymore. They charge 330 yard price for 200 yards of line. I know I could just back my spools and get multiple fill ups off 200 yards of line but it's the principle of the matter. LOL

Crestliner, do you tie directly to the lure with fireline or do you have a leader tied on.

Over the past year I've experimented with Stren Crappie Mono 2# Hi-Vis and S.O.S. Trout Mono 2# and like them both. With each, I've been able to straighten out a few thin wire hooks from snags which impressed me. The S.O.S. line is slightly thicker (0.16mm vs 0.15mm for the Crappie Mono) which gives me a bit more confidence but both are smooth casting and limp. Never used 2# before so I was apprehensive, but am now comfortable using it.

I have,nt used 2# line in a long time,,, I,ve been a fan of Stren 4# mono.

I always use a fluorocarbon leader (strictly for the abrasion resistance). About 4' - 5' in length. I connect the two lines using the Alberto knot. Works well for us.
