Hi, I am flattered you want my opinion, thanks. I really like Izor Platinum for my casting reel bass fishing whether salt or fresh. I have used it in 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25# with no probs. I like it because it is a good price, has great abrasion resistance and breaks higher than rated. Nice green tint, too. For spinning, I just started using Izor XXX Super Mono in 6#. It is a little thinner than Platinum and limper, too. It is not as limp as Trilene XL obviously, but it won't break or abrade as easily. XL is what I used to use a lot for spinning--I'll use up mine for trouting. For spinning, one could even use the next test lighter as XXX also breaks higher than stated. Overall, I like green or green-smoke color for inshore or freshwater. For offshore, I like clear or blue Izor, clear Big Game--two totally different types of line characteristics. Izor is fatter, stiffer; Big Game is a touch thinner, limper. I used to be more picky about my offshore line when I did more of that kind of fishing, lol. I hope this helps you.

I too have started using both Izor Platinum and XXX. Neither are great lines, but I change my line every few weeks so the price is right. I also really like Triple Fish Camo, but I'm not sure about it in clear water. Thus the switch. I like the Yozuri Hybrid, it is more money but it holds up much longer. What I don't like is the smoky blue color. If I can ever find it in lighter weights in clear, I'll be using it much more.
