For me it would have to be Maxima Chameleon, but it is a personal choice thing when it comes to choosing line.
Daiwa Sensor monofil is also excellent line and i use it for my Feeder Fishing, Not only is it cheap it comes in Bulk Spools and is very reliable.

As a reel line in my opinion you can't beat Pro-Gold.

Pro-Gold/Clear for me.

I don't think they do the Pro Gold Clear in anything under 8lb breaking strain.
I've not used the Pro Gold before, just how good a line is it, and what sort of price for 100m spools of line ?

They do Pro-Gold down to 2lb Steph - 1000yds £16.98 110yds £5.36 dia .127mm (2lb is the knot strength breaking strain - 2.5 is the line)

I know they do, but i did say Pro Gold Clear ....... £5.36 is a reasonable price to pay for 100 metres of quality line. Do they do the lower strains in Bulk Spools ?
I can see me having to try and source some of this and give it a try when i sort out my fishing again.

Maxima if I could only pick one line, but i use different line's for different methods.
I use Maxima, Pro Gold, Drennen Float and some hooklink material's also.

[FONT="]Never heard of Pro-Gold Clear Steph – as far as I know you may have one or the other. [/FONT]Ithought 1000m was a bulk spool, I believe you can also get 5000m for about £75

That's a real tricky one Rains. It's got to depend of the action of the rod and the water itself (weedy/clear). To quote your figures you shouldn't have a problem at all landing a 10lb fish on 5lb line on a clear water. I use 8lb line for carp to well over 20lb up in the water with a 1.75 through action rod without any problems on a weed clear water. A complete rethink if the water is clad in pond weed.

what about braid
Drennan sinking braid 4lb cost about £8 good for feeder fishing

I agree with Jerry. If weed/snags are not an issue then I'd be perfectly content with any decent 5-6lb line for fish up to 10lb....significantly bigger and I'd go up to 8lb. In both cases fished in conjunction with a suitable rod. On a 1.75 tc rod & 8lb Pro Gold I'd fancy my chances against a cabin cruiser in open water.
Dont like braid.At all for anything except spinning.
