Trilene Big Game 12 pound Solar Collector green. Like Rich said, I will pull 2X more baits loose with 12 than I did with 10. I rarely worry about getting maximum depth on a crankbait so the 12 doesn't hurt me there either.

I recently paid almost $150 for a 1500 yard spool of Power Pro Depth Hunter 40/10 braid and I'm scared to death to put it on rods that clients will be using. I would lose sleep over going thru a spool of that 2X per year due to tangled rat's nests. I can harp at clients until I'm blue in the face but the vast majority don't understand how important it is to keep a close eye on the rod tip to gauge bait action. One crank running bad can tangle enough gear that will take me 20 minutes to clear out.

I recently had an 83 year old grandfather pulling cranks with me. He hooked a drum about 15 pounds with 80 feet of line out. I knew it was either a drum or catfish and I told him he needed to get it to the boat as quickly as possible to keep from tangling everything up.He said he wanted to enjoy the fight then tire it out so it wouldn't break his line. 5 minutes later I was cutting 7 crankbaits apart. If that had been braid I would have lost 2-300 yards of line. With the mono I probably lost 40 yards of line and was back to fishing much quicker.
