Stretchy Mainline?

[Wood N' Fish]

If you were looking for the Strongest Main line with the most stretch characteristics, which one would you choose? I Know-------here we go again------Revisit-----

Mono has the most stretch, up to 20% or even more.

As for brands maybe Maxima

I have been using Maxima Chameleon for more years than I'd like to recall. (David-You're a mind reader") This line works for everything. I was just thinking out of the box, so to speak, and wondering the strength vs. stretch properties of the more popular, (and unpopular lines).

I have always used Maxima. I think it is great stuff. Germans can engineer a good product.

My favorite is Trilene Big Game. We use it for Dorado, Sailfish and Marlin in Mexico. It stretches nice which helps to keep the hook set when the fish is airborn and shaking it's head. We recently switched to the Hi-Vis green Trilene Big Game because it's easier to keep track of your line when your trolling and helps to keep your lines apart during Dorado double headers. We use 30 lb test for the Dorado and Sailfish and 50 lb test for Marlin. We have never had a fish break off.

WoodNFish,

I think between the two Maxima products UltraGreen has the most stretch. I think Chameleon has the most abrasion resistance.

For most stretch? Ande. Has a lot of strength and stretches like rubber.
