[size 3]I am glad to know that you will be upgrading to a more modern type of line. There are many newer ones beside staight flourocarbon. Which I particularly would not really recommend except for leader material. I use it only on leaders.[/size]

[black][size 3]There are some new copolymer lines out now. They are quite abrasion resistant, have low memory, good knot strength and smaller diameters than mono lines of the same pound tests(for example a 6 pound copolymer line has about the same diameter as 4 pound mono). I use a lot of ultra light line in 2, 3, 4, and 6 pound test. And I have not had too much problem with the knots holding. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I have used several different manufacture's versions of it. Cabellas, Yo Zuri, Silver Thread and a couple of other big brand names. They really are pretty comparable in quality as far as I have been able to tell. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]One that I have just started using recently is Silver Thread Excalibre. So far, I have not had much problem with the knots on it. And I am using it in 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 pound test.[/size][/black]
