Favorite crankbait mono?

That's cool Reb! How is that flouroclear for worms and what not? Is it very sensitive?

I do lots of medium to deep cranking and its all suffix elite for me, mostly 8, but I go up to 10 if the water gets really stained (you know like only 8 feet visibility ) in idaho I chase smallmouth in clear water without much cover to speak of so the thin diameter gets me down faster in these canyon type reservoirs with the super steep banks. I really think suffix is a terrific line due to the winding process. The line never crosses another stand therefore it cannot put pressure on another part of the line. I wanted to see how much smoother suffix was than others so I compared it under a microscope at the university lab next to trilene xt and it was smoother by leaps and bounds. I don't know if that gives me a real advantage besides confidence in my line, which I think is pretty important.

BB, I find it to be quite sensitive and works great for worms-weightless or T-rig.

I'll second that emotion. I love that line.

10 or 12 Trilene xl has served me well over the years. On a Curado and Revo STX.

That's really cool. Good to know that their winding process does indeed help. I bet they could make examining the lines under a microscope into a commercial.
