The sign of a true center pinner; always on the hunt for the perfect main line.

Like Corey says Siglon FF (not F) is highly regarded. It can be expensive however due to "floating" qualities and difficult to find due to limited distribution. Floating quality is not a big factor for me as I fish 11'+ rods, out of a boat and I rarely make "hero" drifts. I do fish Raven, which is cheaper and much easier to find. It has a good "handle" and "drape" as well as low memory with low stretch. On the downside, it's like Maxima UG or gum, it get stale and loses it's suppleness fairly quickly, so I might change line a couple times in a season depending on how much I fish it. A similar line to Raven (maybe same?) is Cortland Endurance. Not common out here, but a few east coast friends swear by it. Another not so common line I also like which has an excellent finish is Suffix Siege. Nice line, but downside is thinner and more stretch than I like, so I step up on this one to 14# or higher. For common lines out here, I like P-Line CX; not the best in any one particular area but very good all-round contender. A lot of our northern brethren use Maxima UG, but I'm not a fan with CP.

Generally I'm most concerned about how line feels in hand and comes off spool than test strength, so I will lean to higher test with diameters @ 30 mm (.12 in). 12# is typical, although I will go down to 8 in summer and up to 16# depending on fish, rod and water.

I like hi-vis main line for all the obvious reasons. Raven, P-line hi-vis yellow are go to's, but I also like the more subtle Siege Orange too.

When using floats, I use either Seagar or P-Line florocarbon leaders for stiffness and sink. For drift fishing with CP, standard UG or Chameleon.

Still looking for that perfect CP line, so open to other suggestions. Let's hear em'.
