Good American mono? well everybody has they're preference but I personally use Berkley Big Game (which is made in the USA). It is strong as steel and holds up pretty good in the rocks/brush, with that said it will get line memory so using reel magic or the stuff KVD is pushing helps improve that a little longer. I have many people switch to it after giving it a whirl and they haven't looked back. Cost is the other thing the "Big Game" is a little cheaper but for this one time I found you get more than you pay for! You may have to change it every 6 weeks if you fish alot but try it.
