I like shneider for reef fishing

[whooshka]

Never, ever use Jinkai - too soft, lost me too many good fish.
Hawk's not bad for reef fishing - does the job, as does Schneider. Both good options for the price. Hawk is harder - both are relatively thick in diameter for a given breaking strain.
For lighter work (ie less than 40lb leader) I don't mind Vanish f/c.

I use Momoi for main lines up to 30lb, then Schneider for 50lb upwards. I also use Momoi leader for all classes. Excellent line & reasonably priced if you can find a place that sells it. Check with Smithy on what he recommends. He seems to be a guru on most things fishy.

WTFH

Jinkai's not bad, it has its place, but as said it is fairly soft. Penn 10X is a harder material but a lot thicker so whatever you choose is going to be a bit of a trade off. Work out what the main attributes are that you need and go from there.

I heard Rod Harrison say at a fishing expo a year or so ago that Aust fishing line manufacturers are leading the world so I proudly go for Platypus Super 100. They claim that it is the thinnest mono around.

I have not been disappointed by the 30lb Platypus Super 100 that I use. Quite brilliant line, actually! :)

Have caught some good fish which really put it to the test...

I use jinkai for my trolling outfits, softer and I find easier for joining lines.

Penn 10X on the bottom for better abrasion resistance.

i use momoi hi vis yellow. Easy to see when chasing a fish etc. The mono used by most of the Marlin fishos is Stren, but i can only find it in 2400yd lots so i stick with momoi

Both are very low stretch, good abrasion resistance and strong when used in knots like albrights, biminis, plaits, cats paws etc.

I find platypus waaay to stretchy for my liking, which can result in poor hook up.

[Reef_fisher]

i use Penn 10x, great abrasion resistance on the reef and fairly cheap compared to most. seems to work extremely well on my Penn GT330.

platypus pretest

Only way to go

[TinarooTriumph]

Platypus Super 100, or Platypus Classic. Both soft, thin, and ultra strong lines.

Other then that, Maxima is pretty bloody good stuff also - Knots like a dream!.
