Seems like everyone uses braid and fluoro all the time any more. Any one still use mono? If so, what presentations do you use it on?

I pretty much use it for everything, other than when bass are hitting a suspending jerkbait on the pause.
20lb big game .. when flipping.
I use mono on my top water and big swimbait rods.

I use it on Spinnerbaits/chatterbaits, shallow crankbaits (when I’m forced to use those lol) and any type of floating jerkbait.
Mono only,nothing else

About half my rods. I have fluoro on some and braid on some.
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one, because I basically use it for everything tooI use braid occasionally and don't think I've ever thrown fluoro
Only use it for ultralite spinning reels for smallies and trout, which I don’t do much. Braid, braid, braid for everything else!

Braid for flipping, frogging, and swim jigs in heavy cover. Everything else is rigged with Izorline Platinum, which is a copolymer.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and any bait that floats on topwater.
I only use copolymer and braid

Mono on everything unless I’m fishing grass then braid. Did the flouro thing and went back to mono and catch just as many or more fish. Plus I save a lot of money. Suffix mono is what I use.
I still use Trilene Big Game and Stren on everything. Golden Stren is great line for jigs; bass, walleye, or panfish and has been for many years. Mississippi River fish don't care if its gold.
indecisive so i use copoly

I use Maxima mono on everything.
I use mono when the fish are slapping at Baits and my hook up ratio is bad. I usually have braid in everything but when I’m reacting too fast the stretch of mono helps.

I used to use Stren clear blue years ago then made the switch to Big Game. It’s the only mono I use when I use it.Originally Posted by unknown angler
