Hey guys. What's the most supple mono you have found to use. Want to try a new line that goes on reels nicely when spooling up and without any twist ?

Twist depends on how you spool it most of the time. I have 12lb subline on my big pits, sinks well, casts ok and is relatively supple. Cm90 12lb on my smaller reels, most supple line I've ever used, casts well, sinks ok and good knot strength.

If you're getting twist it is user error and nothing to do with how supple the mono is.

Watched so many videos of different ways people saying how to spool up

Anhoter one for the Cm90, top line
I always put them +20 min in hot water and leave it in the water when spooling it on my reel and always hold the coil counterclockwise (Many do this wrong with kinks as a result)

Do you lay the spool down in the water or stand it up ?

Stand Up after it has been in the water for +20 min

I used the CM90 in 15 for a season where I could drop from a boat and it was mustard. Sinks great and supple for the bs but it was a heavy line and cast as such. Knot strength was brilliant, up there with Gr60 in the heavier bs.
Gave the 12 a go when I needed to cast at range and was disappointed. Had it part twice against lillies that should not have been an issue and took it off.
The 15lb was one of the best behaving lines off the spool I'd ever used.

The pb products control mono seems really supple to me, but I've not tried cm90 to compare.

CM90 all the way, Since I have used this haven't looked back, rate it the best out there, as many do!

ESP synchro "standard"
Korda Carpline
Daiwa Sensor
Berkley C60 (in 15lb a little "thick" for my taste) in 12 be ideal imo i use the 15 for hooklinks
all mono's need to be spooled correctly, i soak mine for a couple of hours in warm water with some washing up liquid
and then spool stood upright in a tub.
works for me even on smaller reels

A lot of us don't agree with that bit, been a lot of talk about that recently.

Yes, it's a very boring tedious argument that goes on and on, and there is not one way to do it because all lines are manufactured differently!
ALL YOU DO IS:-
Try the three diferent ways (spool up, down, upright) , each time, reel in the line a few turns, stop, pull a few yards of line off the Reel spool, grab hold of two feet of the line, push your hands together and see if the line twists.
The way that doesn't (twists less) IS THE RIGHT WAY!!!
VERY easy!
With the line I use, if I put the spool upright (through a pencil) it twists to hell and is the WRONG way!

is that your only requirement?
Do you need to cast long? Do you care what the colour is like? Abrasion resistance? Thickness for diameter? Prestretched or not?
Cm90 - most supple, most resistant to twist, heavy sinks well, great Abrasion, won't cast as far as others though and fairly thick, still very supple in 15lb. Solid green colour
Esp syncro - also very supple, resistant to twist, better for casting distance, doesn't sink as well but good Abrasion resistance. Nice light colour blueish tint.
Pb control - supple but develops slight more twist than above but still better than others. Sinks well, thin diameter, fairly gd abrasion. Nice light blue tint colour.

I always take the line off in the same direction as it goes on to the reel.
And soak it for a couple hours.

Another CM90 vote here. I use the Daiwa spool loader and not had any twist so far. Worth £15 investment

CM90 here too - third season now and absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Easily the best mono I have ever used.
Terminate in a Palomar and it is bulletproof.
I use Shimano X-Aeros and it goes on label up(I think - it's been a while).
