Best Monofilament Fishing Line For Spinning Reels
I’m getting my spinning reels set up for this fishing season, so I wanted to take some time and share with you what I’ve found to be the best
Introduction
There are a number of reasons that people prefer monofilament over other types of fishing line. Sometimes it just comes down to a personal preference. Other times, there’s a more technical reason behind choosing mono line over fluorocarbon or even braided fishing line.
In this post I’m going to share with you what I’ve found to be the 5 best
So, let’s get to it!….
1. KastKing Premium monofilament Fishing Line (Top Pick)
- Low Memory
- Abrasion resistant
- Low Absorption
The first on my list of best mono line is Kast King’s Premium
It’s a combination of it’s unique design, low visibility and high resistance to abrasion. And since it is designed to be used in freshwater and saltwater, it makes for a very versatile fishing line to have.
The mono line made by KastKings features Paralleled Roll Track technology which results in a better reel capacity.
The reason this is a good thing, is because mono fishing line is known for it’s larger diameter which means less line on the reel when compared to fluoro. But with KastKings Premium mono line, that’s no longer an issue.

Trilene XL has very little memory and doesn’t coil like other inexpensive brands of mono line. It loads easily onto the spinning reel spool and is smaller in diameter, which allows for more line on the spool.

Why Use monofilament Fishing Line For Spinning Reels
As I mentioned earlier, many people use mono line as their go to fishing line simply because its what they like. It’s what they’ve used, and what they’re familiar with. For years I pretty much functioned the same way.
But there are technical reasons you might want to use
Decreased Visibility
Monofilament fishing line is usually my go to fishing line when fishing exceptionally clear water, which we do a lot of here in the Pacific Northwest. Besides fluorocarbon, mono is next to invisible under the water. This is because
monofilament Makes Better Knots
When compared to braided fishing line,
monofilament Stretches
You might have heard me mention that mono line ‘stretches’ when compared to other types of line. That’s because it does! monofilament has a lot of elasticity to it, which means it stretches under pressure. And some elasticity, or stretch, is a good thing. The stretch in your mono line can act as an ‘absorber’ and take some of the pressure off your knots, or even off of other weak spots in your line, which can mean the difference between landing a fish and losing a fish.
What Kind Of Fishing Is monofilament Line Good For?
Depending on what kind of fishing you plan on doing, really dictates what kind of fishing line you should use. You can use the same kind of fishing line across the board, and to be honest, that’s what I usually do. Unless I know I’ll be fishing a specific way for a long period of time. Then I’ll respool my spinning reel.
With that said, here are some of the kinds of fishing that works best with
- Trolling
- Fishing Clear Water
- Fishing Top Poppers and walk the dog baits
