What reviewers say
We found no independent lab test. Store reviews are many and mostly positive, describing it as dependable line that handles well and doesn't coil much on spinning reels. Retailers call it basic line at a great value. One angler on a filler-spool listing said the green color drew more strikes than clear in their lakes, which is one person's view. It is aimed at light tackle, not heavy cover.
Good
- Very easy to cast and tie
- Low coil on spinning reels
- Cheap enough to respool often
Not so good
- Stretchier and thicker than braid
- Less abrasion resistance than heavier lines
- Mono weakens with sun exposure, so it needs replacing
Who it's for
Beginners, kids and anyone fishing light spinning gear for panfish, trout and small bass. Skip it if you fish heavy cover or want braid's sensitivity.
