It all depends on what kind of fishing you're doing (crankbaits, jigs, plastics, topwater, etc.). I personally only use mono when fishing topwaters, and some crankbaits. I like Trilene Maxx, Trilene XL, and Trilene XT as good all-around mono. If you're looking for a good value, you can't beat Bass Pro Excel mono. Hope that might start you on the right path.......
