Re: rough ground mono ?
Ultima power steel or suffix tritanium are probably about the best lines for rough ground.
The worst lines are the prestretched ones like grauvel teklon gold and others that say they have a massive breaking strain to diameter ratio.

UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Re: rough ground mono ?
Hi Rog,
Over rough ground I have used :
Berkley Trilene, a little thick for stated breaking strain but tough as old boots.
Daiwa sensor, its cheap enough and tough, a little thick for BS.
Ultima Seastrike, another one that's cheap and cheerful, a little thick for the BS but cheap and does the job.
Prob not the best lines but ones I have used over the rough stuff - generally cheap and tough.

Suffix tritanium, good all round qualities, good knotting, good abrasion resistance and supple.

I used Red Ice before the Tritanium, no major problems with it but I find the tritanium beds into a multiplier much quicker than red Ice. Imho red ice can always blow up on the reel until it beds in nicely. No other criticisms of it though and I used it for years

Re: rough ground mono ?
thanks for the replies lads went for a rumage and found some diawa sensor i forgot i had so i have 850 meters so wont need any for a week or so
i think i had the berkly big game before and it was ok ,as for powersteel its just too pricey for what you get to be using it over rough ground their is a recession you know!
i also found a spool of lidle line with built in shockleader i forgot i had ,its amazing the stuff you buy and throw in the shed ,today is empty the shed of gear day and do a cull of stuff i never use !and maybe find something else i forgot i had

Re: rough ground mono ?
find the power steel amazing as jp said, but berkley big game in 30lb is amazing to, try it without leader and a gentle lob over the head,
