Having been blessed with the opportunity to travel the world, fishing for super strong exotic brutes, having a super strong line is a must to have a chance at landing these beasts. In my opinion, the best of the best is the Varivas Avani GT Max Power Plus and Jerry Brown Solid Core. Varivas Avani GT Max Power Plus is my favorite. It is extremely smooth to the feel helping out when passing through guides. It is really thin which allows added line on your spool and is super strong. It has great knot strength. It is made in Japan and I buy it on ebay.
Jerry Brown Solid Core in made in the USA. It is Spectra that is furnished in many different diameter fibers to suit the particular application. The smaller the fiber diameter, the stronger it is but more costly. I recently used Jerry Brown in both Papua New Guinea and La Zona and highly recommend them. Both lines are smooth to the feel and are not prone to wind knots. So, I highly recommend taking a look at these lines and taking off that popular extremely stiff feeling braid many of us previously used!
Good advice. I'm always looking for the best when it comes to lines. It's the cheapest part of our equipment and determines whether we land that fish or just tell stories of the big one that got away.
