There's Nothing Mysterious About Sunline's Super Natural
Introduction: We try, as much as possible, when testing different rods and reels to delineate our line choices so our readers can extrapolate any pertinent information as it applies to their situations and how we're using the tackle in question. If you pay attention to these details, you'll have noticed the mention of Sunline Super Natural Nylon Monofilament quite often over the last few years. I personally, really like the way it fishes and handles, but today, we put it under closer scrutiny to see if those on the water impressions are truly warranted.
Good review!
I pretty much fish Sufix exclusively these days(Siege mono & fluorocarbon) due to no memory and being super strong, but Super natural is my 2nd choice for mono. It's a good line, definitely has some memory but not as bad as other brands.
And the blue color is awesome for Lake Lanier, Lake Tahoe & other 'blue' lakes.
If you look at the diameters listed at Tackle Warehouse for the various labeled strengths of Super Natural, you'll see that it is considerably thinner than most lines at a given labeled strength. Most nylon monofilament lines break considerably above their rated strengths; Super Natural probably breaks closer to its rated strength. So a hookset that would be absorbed by 12 lb. Trilene XT might snap the much thinner 12 lb. Super Natural, but that doesn't mean the latter is weaker at an equivalent diameter.
