Default which mainline ????

hi folks

just about to re-spool my reels and was toying with the idea of either soft steel camou or krystonite. ive used soft steel for a good while now and have been pleased with it, but was wondering what you guys all use, so any recommendations folks?
cheers

GR60 mate. Depends what you want it for but short to medium fishing with weed/snags its unbeatable. Honestly.

Berkley big game! Not too expensive and is a class line! Also used soft steel in the past and had no probs with it.

Don't go for the Krystonite unless you can afford to change it regularly, used it last year and kinked and twisted really quickly and had to change it.
Big game, daiwa sensor or soft steel, none will let you down.

12lb Diawa Sensor – less than half the cost of most, yet made in the same factory on the same machines using the same materials.

Cheap as chips so you can re-spool twice as often and reduce your memory even further.
