Center Pin Line

Just got a center pin and wanted to see what kind of line everyone perfers.

I'm very new at using a c.p. but the one thing i did pick up on was the suggestion to use a cheap mono till you get used to casting the outfit.
 
I used 10 pound trilene xt in the solar green color to practice and to fish the 2 trips i made with the outfit. Do date i have been able to pick out every tangle without having to cut the line. The only thing bad was it doesn't float for fishing

Both Siglon F and Ande work well. Buddy and I have had very good luck with the Siglon 6lb.-12lb., but you MUST use a good non-slip knot such as the "Trilene knot" to avoid slippage. The Ande worked well, but seemed to have quite a bit more memory if you side cast (I am still trying to break the habit) and I think once a good overhand version is learned I will be using the Ande more exclusively. I have not yet used the new hydrofloat by P-Line, but judging by reveiws it seems to have it's plus and minuses as every other line available.

You dont need to use backing but i would suggest using it.  It takes alot less fly line backing than it will mono to fill the reel.  I have also heard that mono can warp the spool and you could have problems with the way the reel spins.  My first pin is still filled with mono and never had any problems but its a stout spool compared to the newer lightweight frames of the new pins.  Also the fillling the spool with mono causes added weight which adds up when fishing a 11 to 14 ft rod.
