This is a really good topic. I'm looking forward to see the answers.
For fly fishing, I've been using either Cortland 333 or 444, for most of my line. I mostly use it because it's easy to find and was cheap at the time and it's what I have. I don't fly fish much any more, so it's not a big deal to me. I have no complaints with the performance. I was quite fond of the Orvis Super Strong tippet materials when I fly fished a lot, but I don't know if they still make it. I pretty much just use whatever is out there without any preference at this point. They all seem to work well. As long it's mono, I tried some braided tippets and I didn't like them at all.
For ice fishing I've tried lots of lines. Everything from braids to mono to ice lines. I really like P-Line floroclear. I don't expect to change from that any time soon, or even try anything else for that matter.
Because I like P-Line floroclear so much for ice fishing, I decided to try it on my spinning out fit. I like it a lot when it's new. As it gets more and more use it kind does a weird kinky kind of thing I don't really care for. Maybe I just need to change it more often? I've used Trilene XL and XT on my spinning outfits in the past and I like the P-Line flourclear much better.
I don't own a bait caster, so I have no input there.
