best mono or flurocarbon for SW fishing

[kevinchen19870316]

i'm looking at spooling my 100size calais 100a with 20-30lb( depending on thickness of the line i settle down with) mono or flurocarbon for some OK size fish. here's what i need

1, i need the line to be strong and reliable and strong and strong and strong:P . will probably need to push the line to the limit.

2, SW ok. i've tried some freshwater premium mono but they broke easily after like a week of use or so.

3, easy to get. i'll need them as soon as possible

thanks for any inputs.

what about braid?

[kevinchen19870316]

don't wanna spend another 70-80 bucks as i'll probably need to strip off like 50-80m after each metery.

Jarvis Walker mono.

Great value for money.

Kevin,

I wouldn't bother using a 100 size reel from the bank with that size line, just wont hold enough. You'd be lucky to get 80 yards on it.

haha kev

maybe try yo zuri hybrid?

not as strechty as normal mono, or you could try platypus low strech.

then theres shimano technium mono, its a funny line its black in color and very thin for its poundage and has very little strech but its pretty good for abraison resistance

[kevinchen19870316]

sweet, thanks for the input guys. i'll give them a try.

feral, that 100a can probably hold 100yrds and if the fish want them all, man, i'd go for a swim and see how far it can troll me! lol

[namyau]

yeah try platypus low-stretch or platypus platinum good value and cheap so its not gonna hurt the wallet

[kevinchen19870316]

i don't really care how much the line cost as anyway mono's cheaper than braid.

i need a line that last a few trips b4 getting crispy and easy to break.

but thanks for the suggestion namyau, i may try platinum as low-stretch really pissed me off when i tried its 8lb last year.

Nitlon FC leader comes in 100m Spools, not sure if that is long enough but I rate the stuff

[kevinchen19870316]

cool, does it hold its performance long?

[faulked]

stick with platypus platinum kev and youll be happy if you like i have some 35lb torture mono thats barley been used there would be 300m in the spool its not soft enough for my likeing its yours if you want it:)

[kevinchen19870316]

thanks for the offer faulked. i've called dan and he might get me some heavy mono today. if i can't get my mono soon, i'll have a look at the 35lb u have. a bit too thick on a 100 size BC i think.

I half the day Saturday with the same leader, a few scuffs but still in good condition
