Someone else mentioned it, but I also run the Berkley Big Game mono but in 10lb test. I use the same four trolling rods whether it's for stripers, kokes, or even lake trout. It has the durability, it's cheap at Walmart, and still strong enough that I can land big lake trout when I catch them. It's also the same poundage used in my Precision Trolling manual (book), so I don't have to do any conversions for setting depths on crankbaits. I usually will add a barrel swivel and about 2-3 ft of Pline 10-12lb Flouroclear leader with a quick snap for kokes, but haven't this year. Fishing has been good, and that "less visible" leader hasn't seemed to matter.
Good luck, Ryno
