As the title suggests, I'm after opinions on the best clear mono, will need to be a minimum of 0.40mm diameter, due to lake rules (French lake).
I've looked at the TA OGX which is 'natural grey' in colour, but ultimately isn't too dark, so I guess when I say clear this can also include 'light' colours too.
Cheers

I think there used to be a clear GR60. The green was/is an excellent line in the right situations but never used clear myself.

Is fluorocarbon an option?
Xline for example

Thanks for the replies chaps, will take a look at all of them.
I've used Fluoro a couple of times in the past for a season or two and could honestly not get on with the stuff, which is why I'm looking at Mono.
I've also watched a few videos on YouTube and there is little to no difference in picking up a line of the same colour under water that would have me choose fluoro over mono.
Braid on the other hand, sticks out like a sore thumb, which is a shame as I have got used to fishing with braid in France, only for the last two sessions on the lake to be absolutely gin clear and the fishing becoming extremely difficult, hence the change over to something a little less obvious running through the water. Whether it makes a difference or not, only time will tell!

What about braid with a fluoro or mono leader? Going back to mono is like fishing with a rubber band after braid.
There are more advantages to fluoro than visibility. It's much more resistant to abrasion for one.

I used the longchuck in 17lb this year and thought it was good. Bit lively when it first gets put on but settles nicely after a good stretch

Certainly braid with a mono or fluoro leader could be an option.
I'm used to fishing with mono over here, I mostly only use Braid in France, generally due to it being banned on most waters I fish on these shores.

Does it have to be clear? not fashionable but Maxima chameleon is a very good line.

I remember this Brand from when I was a kid, and a brand that isn't talked about an awful lot.
I'll take a look, thanks.

You can still get clear GR60. Mega line!

Long chuck is by far the worst mono I've ever used.. had it in 15 for start of last spring, come the end of spring it was snapping like cotton. I'd written to korda to complain and they offered me a spool of 17 free gratis.. 2 months later the 17 did the exact same thing. Sacked it off as a bad idea now. Berkley big game all the way now
