| For the price and for what you get out of the line, you really can't beat P-Line Floroclear (just my preference). I've fished Gama copolymer and it's not bad, but tends to be a little more rigid than what I prefer. Didn't care for the strength of Trilene Sensation either. For mono, I hate Stren and pretty much stick to the Berkley lines. |

I just switch from strictly Berkly XL mono to many different co=polymers.
I got some triple fish Rx spinning and xrated.
x-rated is my favorite so far. And the price can not be beat.
i got 20lb cabelas flouro on my jig rod and cant believe its performance !!

I have some cabelas mono that I ripped off the spools after a few outings....Not bad, but still has some memory...Using their co-poly 17lb on my jig and swimbait rods....like that better than the mono....Got a spool of BPS excel mono 12lb the other day and really like it.....I think that is my go to this year.

| I feel the co-poly has less stretch than conventional mono...Like the feel when you really swing into a bass.....could just be a mind game though.... |

copolymer does have a bit less stretch than single lend mono. it will make it a little more sensitive also. i only use 2 copolymers. triplefish and gamma. i like gamma because you can downsize alot up to 2 sizes. where i would use 20# test with mono i can downsize to 14. 14# gamma has a 23# breaking strength. for the money though you cant beat triplefish. it is tough as nails also. |
