Premium Monofilament Fishing Line Built For Fighting Big Fish Be honest: When was the last time you struggled a bit casting? There's a good chance it wasn't your fault--it was your line. Monofilament (mono) fishing line is notorious for turning into a coiled slinky mess that can interfere with your casting, wrap into a knotted pile on the water, or slingshot back in your face when you try to set a hook. But not anymore. Direct Contact Mono is specially treated to reduce memory, and reduce stretch. Do you know what happens when your mono stretches? Sure, it takes longer to break (at first). But it stretches because it's thinning out in an area, and it doesn't bounce back into shape after it's stretched. This means that the first time you fight a big fish, or have to pull out of a tight snag, you are weakening areas of your line which will break easier next time. So what's the solution? Our specially treated mono still has shock-absorbing properties, but doesn't stretch out like lower-quality line. This means you keep the shock-absorption to prevent a break-off from a fish taking off. But you keep more pressure on your hook, and don't thin out your line.
