Ande was good to me for the longest time but moved on to siglon f, now for the past 3 years its been endurance and i've had no problems with it. Very strong and haven't got the twists i did with other lines. Just my 2 cents

Status: offline 		I currently have siglon f on in 12 lb. test but for the first 2 years I used trilene Xt in the solar color and I liked it. (all my tangles came out without having to cut the line). I don't think they still make the xt in the solar color but any xt should be the same?

I can't comment on the siglon yet as I leave the pin home till this month (Nov) and I haven't fished for a week.

Cortland Endurance
Raven
Ande
Sufix Elite or Siege - raving reviews...I want to give this line a try soon.
Siglon FF

I got the backing you need Tim.

Heck, I even use 8lb for kings with 6lb leaders and it worked fine
It just seemed that cast was a lot smoother with 8 vs 10lb

Either way, you will be fine.

OH
PS: Siglon, because it works well for me and it looks pretty through the holes on my reel. I prefer pink, but the only had chartreuse
