One thing I think that needs to be mentioned in all this good line input is not only one's personal opinions from line experiences but also the equipment it is used on and how the individual fishes. I say this because I am a hardcore fan of berkley big game in 10 and 12 pound test. I have caught numerous bass over ten pounds on the 10 pound test, some in the sticks. The reason why it works so well for me is because I like and use medium-heavy rods (broom sticks) Even my spinning rods are medium-heavy. I also have a habit of setting the hook like a mad man which requires a line with a little "give" or stretch in it. When I fish with lines that are much stiffer, I often break off on hook sets or even rip the bait from the fish's mouth. I am working on changing that style when using lines like 6 and 8 pound P-line. I just spooled up with the new P-line pure flourocarbon on a baitcaster and was very, very impressed with how it casted. I didn't spend enough time fishing it to get bit on it so I will have to wait to see what I think about it. Remember though folks that most lines are all pretty good in the strength department. What one fella likes or dislikes about a particular line might have more to do with his or her equipment and fishing style rather than the line itself. Just another point of view.
