Sunline Shooter Fluoro for Cranks
Sunline Super Natural for Topwaters. I also really liked the Lucky Craft Iron Athlete Mono Topwater line as a high visible line.

I use mono for topwater, either Sufix Elite or Sufix Siege. Usually whichever I have on hand as I can not tell a significant difference between the two.

Cranking, it varies. Currently using 10lb InvizX for shallow-mid cranks and I have been fairly happy with it. Used Bass Pro XPS 12lb previously but I didn't like the memory in the line. I will also use mono if I have it spooled on the reel...to me it doesn't matter that much. Based on all the good reviews I see online I plan on trying out some YZH for cranking (and maybe some more applications too) this year.

Sufix Siege for mono. Probably the best handling mono I've used.

For cranking, I use 15lb Siege for shallow cranks. Right now, I'm using 10lb for deep cranking, but am thinking of going with FC.

I use 12-15lb mono for topwaters.

Can't speak to topwater line, really. I haven't done too much topwater fishing in my day, but I like Sufix Deep Crankin' line for cranking. I plan to give the Sunline Super Natural a try, though.
