Ande Monster has been my main line of choice ever since the first time I used it a few years back. This line is just incredible in every criteria we require for hunting monster cats. It has incredible strength. I still have not successfully been able to break the 50# line when getting snagged. Monster also has the most abrasion resistance of any line I have ever used. The knot strength using the palomar is unbelievable. The knot actually breaks at a higher strength than the line does. You just don't get any better than that. Using one of the easiest knots to tie, the easiest for me, this line will simply not break before another part of the line does. Something else I find appealing about the Monster Yellow is the lack of memory. After casting out the line lays flat through the guides. No coiling at all. This lack of memory also helps in avoiding the dreaded backlash. The line isn't trying to spring off the spool, it simply lays there until pulled out. Another feature I enjoy is the lack of stretch. This line like all other mono does have some stretch, however it is less than many other mono lines I have used. The Yellow version of the Ande is also florescent. Under a black light it glows like rope. As far as mono line goes, Ande Monster simply has no peer in my experience. This line receives my highest recommendation for monster catfish duty. It does cost a little more than the bargain mono's, but it is MORE than worth it. Lately I have been buying it straight from the Ande website. They have the lowest prices and the biggest selection. So head on over to the Ande site and pick some up. You can thank me later.
Chuck.
