Another vote for the Silver Thread. I started with mono and I thought it was normal to have a lot of break offs then I'd respool when the line went low.
I have not had a fish break off in two years since I switched to Silver Thread. And as to expense, it's only a few dollars more than mono, but is actually more cost effective. But there are different types. Stick with the "Excalibur." I've tried the "AN40" and don't like it nearly as much.
The only downside for me is finding it... I order my from Cabellas and have it shipped to the store and pick it up there - that way there is no shipping costs.
