Hello
I am looking for a Mainline for snag fishing.
Braid is banned so either a heavy mono or fluorocarbon.
Which one is best?
Casting no more than 60 yards.

Shimano Technium in 15lb
I'm using Fox Camo Soft Steel in 0,41mm (23 lb) on a lake which is "contaminated" with lots of fallen trees on the bank as well as in the lake, lots of water lillies and mussels, and I am very satisfied. 8 out of 10 hooked fish go into the trees, but the line holds up very well. Very occasionally I have to cut off a meter or two, but that's it.

Make sure it's at least 0.40, only 60 yards afterall.
Also, probably best to go for a low stretch line with snags.
Korda Touchdown in 15 or 20lb would be good choice - sinks, low stretch (relatively) .
I use the Green, recommended.

If you can't use braid 20lb touchdown in brown would be my choice too. An excellent line, doesn't cast too badly either.

18lb Syncro XT (original) tough as old boots, very good in heavy weed/snags

I used to be an avid user of the original technium, incredibly strong I found.
Have you ever tried pulling for a break when snagged up/ up a tree? Terrifying!

I hate to admit this but that's happened to me this morning when I clipped a branch accidentally and then i proceeded to uproot a tree. Incredible line, terrible cast 🙈

Korda Kontour takes some beating. Used the 12lb for ages. Don't let the 12lb breaking strain put you off. It's incredibly strong. Also has very little stretch being a fluro, ideal for snag fishing.

Absolute warrior of a line. Mono it's only one I trust 100%
