I use ande green exclusively, best bang for the buck without exception:

8 lb for running eggs & jig bobber for steelhead from the bank on small rivers & from sleds on the cowlitz in the summer - open face reel sedona 2000 RA

10 lb from the bank @ blue creek for summer steelhead w/bait caster reel Ambassador & from sleds in the winter - open face reel Sedona 4000 RA

12 lb @ barrier for fall chinook - bait caster reel ambassador

25 lb out of westport all summer & in the sound after august - Penn 309 reel...

for the price & performance there is really no other line close in value, the knots hold, the line casts & lasts, & the line power is outstanding, i.e. many steelies in the teens w/ the 8 lb test, several springers over 20 with the 8 lb test...
