good morning P&S family. Just a quick question I know I am going to get a lot of different answers. I have been using berkley big game line for a long time is there any other mono out there that has less stretch to it then big game. I love the zero stretch that you get from using braid but braid ,conventional reels, and power casting don't work well together. What are your thoughts?

Ande Backcountry is the best mono out there imo.I've used it for years and have caught some tremendous stripers in the surf and off the rocks up here in RI.

Does it have less stretch ?I have ande pink for shock leaders haven't really tried it as a main line just trying to find a mono that will let me detect the smallest bites. I know all mono stretches but some are really stretchy

One of the Fluorocarbon hybrids is going to be your best bet if that's what you are looking for. This topic has come up many times. Invest is a good rod and the line "in this case" will be incidental....The mono stretch factor for smallest bites does not play here. Rod sensitivity is what you want...

A good quilts rod isn't my problem. The reason I have so much stretch in my line is because when you cast 150+ yards that line becomes a rubber band lol. I can see most bites just wanting to see if anything out there mono wise had less stretch then others

Fluorocarbon has less stretch than nylon monofilaments.

Ok I will look into some fluorocarbon any suggestion on a fluorocarbon that's castable?
