Try Powerpro 30lb which has a diameter of 8lb mono. Good for bass who dive into heavy cover or for weeds in general. In terms of mono, I like Trilene XL for casting distance; Maxima Perfexion for knot strength; and Silver Thread Excalibur for a combination of distance and strength.

Been using Excalibur for alittle over a year now and love it. But I just returned from a week of awesome smallmouth fishing up in Maine where I spooled all my rigs with Pline, 12 & 15lb. This stuff blew me away the only downfall is the line diameter where I only see a problem getting maxium depth on your crankbaits.

I'll be sticking with Pline till something new comes out to try.

northernbass-
That depends. A lot of people use coplymer line for crankbaits. I've never had trouble using mono. If I'm using a deep diving crankbait, use a smaller diameter line (10-14). If I'm fishing with a minnow type jerkbait, I'll use 20 lb. line. The lighter the line, the deeper the plug will go. For most crankbait fishing I use 14 lb. Stren Easy Cast.

Fireline has been good for me and power pro are nice on my baitcasters.

The line don't hold too well in spinning reels in the 2000 series.
When I grow up, I want to be like Cal
