I am interested in hearing what line others use for rig bodies. I am interested in a good quality, low memory (soft) line that doesn't get twisted and kinked from use. I am about to re-load my Abu's with Perline 7kg 0.30mm line with a tapered leader. My rig of choice is "Gary's Extreme Distance" rig. Perhaps you can also suggest the best line for traces as well with similar characteristics ie. nice and limp, low memory.

Cheers and great fishing everyone.

Best by far: Amnesia. This line is used by all the top Europeans for rig bodies. This line is so lacking in memory, it has been suggested it should be renamed Alzheimer's.

I like a stiffer flourocarbon of 50 or 80lb for the backbone on my pulley rigs. It is tough, casts well and doesnt kink like some monos.

Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

I am using mono at the moment and it is okay for a few times but gradually kinks up.
