Advance™ Monofilament The mono that thinks it's a braid. The most abrasion resistant, supple and sensitive monofilament ever. Sufix® Advance™ Monofilament is a combination of HMPE and Hyper Copolymer™ creating superior abrasion resistance, low stretch and sensitivity that has never been seen before.

Mono line tends to be best for live bait fishing, trolling, and kite fishing. On the other hand, braided line works well for bottomfishing and jigging, fishing kelp, fishing structure, and casting plugs and lures.

There are many advantages to braid such as it is more sensitive, you have more power which leads to better hooksets, it is a thinner diameter than fluorocarbon and monofilament, and it lasts a lot longer than other lines because it has no memory.

On the other hand, a braided line - also known as a super line - is made from intertwined strands. It's also harder than mono lines and offers improved sensitivity and more power for casting lures farther distances.

While there are many benefits to using braided lines, being undetected by fish is not one of them. The braided line offers excellent strength for a thin diameter, casts extremely far, and also does not stretch.

While nothing is certain, there are some key truths for anglers looking for the best line for each fishing situation. Fluorocarbon is the line that is most invisible underwater, while the braided line is the strongest, yet most visible above water.

Braid combats line twist better than mono or fluoro, and if used in lighter pound tests, it will outcast them as well. That's why you see so many Elite Series pros using braid as their main line, even when drop-shotting finesse baits.

The FG is without doubt the best way that I have come across so far to attach braid to a fluoro or mono leader. It's not hugely easy to tie, but take your time and do it correctly and it's just about impossible to break.

The SpiderWire Stealth Blue Camo-Braid and Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon take the top spots for their maximum strength. While the 20-lb SpiderWire line we tested takes the cake for the toughest fishing line, proving to be nearly impossible to break, the Berkley Trilene Big Game also ranks high in this category.

Fluorocarbon lines are known for their excellent strength and low visibility underwater. Some fluorocarbon fishing lines can have diameters as small as 0.06 mm (0.0024 inches) or even smaller.

Most fish can't see colors in the same way that humans can. They rely more on detecting contrast and brightness than they do on color. The colors that are easiest for fish to detect are likely the darker shades of blue, green, and violet.

Sure, most folks think low-vis green is the best line color, and it sure does have great applications in many water conditions, while others believe red is invisible, yet the science of blue water fish optics says that blue line is most likely to disappear in the deepest water column.
