Also Gamma, Polyflex clear 4# and 4# ESP Ice for finer diameter and for 1/48 and 1/64 jig heads and in colder water for the increased softness. Normal open water 4# Polyflex works just fine with 1/32 which is my standard jig weight. These lines have landed game fish as big as 38 and 40"muskies, high 20's walleyes, largemouths to 22" and 23", pike to 32". the only failures have been particular huge carp that just plain took off for the next county and never stopped and pike family cutoffs.
LOL I keep mine in the backseat and often make a few casts on the way home from the grocery store, unless I have ice cream that I do not want to melt.

Saltwater Angler from Bass Pro 8 lb on the jig pole and 6 lb on the pulling poles. 3000 yds is around 8 bucks
2 lb Stren Crappie Gold. Easy to see for tying and casts very well on my stream. Priced decently. I also have 3 lb sunline Wild Trout hi viz which is also a very nice line. I haven’t made up my mind if it’s worth the extra cost.

I've been using SOS 2# on a couple of rods. I'ts kind of hard to see for me sometimes depending on light conditions. It would be nice in a hi vis color.
CDC member ultraslab gave me some K9 Fishing hi-viz flourocarbon in 4 lb test to try, and I have to agree, it is fantastic stuff. I can see it to see thumps, and to tie it, and it is fairly manageable. It is all I use for everything, except for very UL applications. Strong enough to straighten a litewire hook jig on a snag, and cheap enough to use all the time. I've caught some very big "surprise fish" with it, including my PB largemouth (est 9-10 lbs) and spotted bass (5.1 lb).

Stren 4 and 6 get the job done for me. Clear for gills and hi vis for crappie.

I've switched to Izorline. A good copolymer fishing line and won't break the bank
