Hi all, appreciate this topic has been done before. But there seems to be conflicting reviews so thought I'd look for any up to date info.

Basically want the lowest stretch mono possible, as I'm used to fishing with braid and I'm off to France in 2 weeks and the lake stipulates mono only, so want as close to braid stretch as possible. The lake is snag/weed free. But obviously strong line is what I'm looking for. Won't be casting as it will mainly boat work, so again doesn't have to be really thin.

Don't particularly want to use fluorocarbon as never really liked it and I don't think p line extrusion will get delivered in time.

So any suggestions welcome.

TIA
Beyonce

My choice would be 20lb Korda touchdown. I also use braid 99% of the time, if I can't and I'm not casting miles this is what I use. I've only ever used brown, not sure if the green behaves the same.

Another vote for Touchdown. Used it for a good 8-9 years in 12 and 15lb and found it excellent
