bought some fishing line

Okay, it was time to stock up on some new line so i ordered online 6lb. sufix moss braid , figure i'll give it a try over the fireline i been acustom using ever since they came out with the stuff. I also bought sufix 8lb. mono for the spin and also a spool of p-line 8lb flouro i'll use as leader material. Anyone care to share their own personal preferences for fishing lines?

yes brian, i have been impressed with sufix 6lb. went through a 300 yd spool over a period of two seasons using the red labeled box low visibility green mono for spinning outfit. . I found it to be reliable both strenght abrasion least memory and it doesn't dry out like cheap monos.. i am always careful to keep my line out of the UV rays as much as possible as with storing any mono. The sufix braid i bought ..i heard it is rated highend among all the braids.. hate spiderwire stealth.. so i'll see how this braid does in comparison.. as i mentioned in previous posts..i'm a big fan of fireline which is a fusion line.. i will need a few months to give it my personal rating. ps .. forgot to mention ,i heard stren braid is getting high ratings too. cheers!

Never Sink Jimmi and Real Force turned me on to a braided line last year called Power Pro.  Walmart sells it, but it's not cheap!  I originally bought it to yank lunker LMB out of the weeds/pads, but now I use it on all my rods.  I use the 15lb version, which is about the size of a 6lb mono.  I'm happy with it and will probably never use mono again, especially for fishing the thick stuff which is by far my favorite!!
 
It works fine for spinner baits, cranks baits, even plastics, but there is no stretch, so it takes some getting used to.

yeah santa, i bet that is good stuff too.. jimmy already mentioned it here being a top choice especially for big game fishing such as pike musky and hog size bass in heavy thick cover.. i would definitely try power pro but I always went with fireline and the real light stuff being that i fish mostly with the ultra light gear.. also, all these superlines last for yrs.. i like spooning with small lures and crappie sized jigs.. i figured i try the sufix because I heard it is rated silky smooth over other braids.. i do not like spiderwire stealth as i had bad tangles too many times trolling using small spin gear. if i find problems with sufix braid, i'll post my review here..btw, sufix got a rebate going on these days so i took advantage the 6 bucks rebate with purchase of any 2 spools elite mono 330yds. so i went with 4lb and 8 lb and also 6 rebate for any single 150 yd spool of braid so i went with the 6lb moss braid .. one day i'll try that power pro 15lb test ..maybe get some for my small garcia 500 ambasses i use for deep trolling. but i have good firelines on them both now. one thing is certain .. superlines are the best when using lures but i rather use mono for live bait fish fishing.

Yeah- I brought my pushpole up from my days in the Everglades...  Thats also where I bought my little Starcraft.
 
Believe it or not, I use it quite a bit in the shallow weedbeds and even just getting away from the boat ramp, etc.  It is a really useful tool, I am surprised more guys up here don't use them bass fishing.
 
When I finally get myself a jackplate and hydraulic trim/tilt I plan on installing a full-blown poling platform above the outboard on the stern.   I bet that would turn some heads in Upstate NY, huh?

Had a little time on my hands this morning, so I figured I would throw on here the line on my set-ups.
