[black][size 3]I'll back up tubeN2 on the Trilene in 14-17 pound test for what you are doing. 25 lb is probably too big for anything you are fishing for, and too small for anything you are dreaming of catching some day in the way of catfish. Line that heavy is often difficult to cast on any thing except a casting reel and you would need to have a fair amount of weight in order to get any distance at all with it.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Also, as was pointed out, the line that is usually supplied with the reel, is most likely not of a very high quality and has probably sat on that reel for way too long, and the memory that has set in is not going to go away. When heavy line gets memory, get new line.[/size][/black]

[size 3]The Clear Blue Florescent Trilene is a good night fishing line as it shows up well under light (florescent or black light especially). It will not really show up much better during the day than regular clear line. Another thing, catfish are not line shy and won't really be bothered by a line of any color.[/size]
