I did have Trilene xt on my reel, but that loves to tangle up and keep me from fishing. I then put on some Trilene smooth casting and I hooked a good size fish and the line snapped in the lily pads. After that fish, i hooked a fish twice the size of the one i just lost and the exact same thing happened. help

A:
Well I honestly have never had that probably. I VERY rarely lose any fish due to snapped line. Maybe it was coincidence, type of fish, type of knot you're using would be my best assumption. Palomar know all the way, it never fails.

A:
If your worried about breaking off with Trilene XL than up the test. You didn't mention what test your using or the type of reel though. I recommend XL for spinning reels. Baitcasters can tolerate heavier line.I used to use the Trilene XT 12 pound on my spinning reel. It worked well but I wanted better line for a spinning reel. I switched to Trilene XL 14 pound. It is the most manageable line out there. I went up in test for strength. Normally freshwater spinning reels have a little lower test but this is the line that is the exception to that rule.
A:
Big question is is it actually the line or the knot giving way. With a lot of line/knot combo it is best to wet the line before pulling the knot tight to avoid micro abrasions that can weaken the knot and cause it to give away under less pressure than normal.So try wetting your knots before you tighten them up and see how that works.

Being a line watcher I strongly prefer clear blue fluorescent.A:
absolutely if the water is stained or is similar in color to the line. in other words, springtime on any real troutwater would be fine or after a rain. in planted waters where the trout still have pellets in their guts it wouldn't matter, you could use cajun red line. in clear waters, avoid the green line if the area you fish is pressured. if your area waters are not, then pink or blue etc. line would work just as well.

A:
if your fishing a dark waterway or a stocked pond yes. personally id use a line thats not been colored since most trout live in clearer running streams. match the water color and line color and use that as a guide to what to use. dark water dark line/ clear water clear line

Never tried green. I have only used clear for trout.A:
I have never used green colored line for trout but I don't see a problem with using it. In turbulent water I don't think that trout would see it and calm water often has a tint to it.A:
I'm not exactly sure but i'm sure it is since green would blend in with with the weeds where you fish.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Yes, I fish for trout quite often and the color blends in the the water well. Only one set back is when the water is clear. You need stained water often to get the full effect of the low-vis green. Also, if you have to monitor you line in the water alot I wouldn't recommend this for you. Get flo. clear blue.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
yes, depending on the color of the water, if it is murky green is good, if it is clear use a normal monofiliment.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I would say no because Trout have mazing eyes! and anything the see and don't like they will go the other way!
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I would only use the green line for darker or stained water. I would use the clear....so noDetails:
Which would you pick, this or Spiderwire mono?Answers
A:
It depends if you want to catch big fish or not cause i own both the triline XL and camo braid spiderwire they both have good casting i wouldn't boubt that triling could reel in big fish so i would go with like 20 or 30 lb. triline so you could catch a big varity of different size fish.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
trilene XL by far best choice. Good strong line wirh no memory. always cast smooth. SPider wire hangs on the spool by embedding down in it's self. Trilene is cheaper too.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Trilene is the way to go. The memory is very low. The line is a little stiff after coming off the spool onto the reel. After a couple of uses the line loosens up and allows for even bigger casts! Also, it has awesome knot strength!
Top 250 Contributor
A:
both are not good lines. buy the bass pro excel.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
spiderwire, no doubt.A:
I prefer the Trilene XL, smoother casts and less memory problems. This is based on bass and crappie fishing in the southeast on average priced tackle.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I would definitely pic the xl it is alot softer spider wire is like wire not very flexible.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
trilene longer lasting and more durable, and as Flegel says "it will outcast all other monos." I have had trilene and spiderwire. Trilene is better
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
The trilene will outcast all other monos in my opinion, and it is cheaper then spiderwire. I would go with trilene.A:
Defiantly the Trilene. It's my all time favorite mono.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I definetly would pick Trilene because it has no memory.1 of 1
