i too used the spiderline xxx in 12lb weight but one day i went carp fishing and fought and landed 10 between 3-10lbs and after that i had line strech so bad that i had to completly respool. I was kinda dissapointed so i got the cheepy eagle claw stuff and it has worked just as well and i havent had the line strech.

I use Pline as well as Ande for most of my general fishing requirements. I also use the Spiderline, Spiderwire, Trilene XL and Trilene Big Game. Those are all good lines.
My favorite is still the Excalibur brand. It is strong, ultra low memory and comes in all your favorite sizes.

I'm still experimenting with different lines. But for some reason I primarily stick with Trilene brands. Thinking about giving Yozuri Hybrid a try sometime and I'm dying to get my hands on some of the Cajun Fishing Company line that's red.

I also had some problems with the 8# Vanish while fishing river walleyes. It got brittle after several weeks. Could break it too easy after that. And, I always take off about 4 feet every day to make up for the twist it gets by the where you tie it to your hook.
I absolutely love 8# Trilene XL for rivers. Great line. I tried some stuff last year that is pretty good too. It's called Iron Silk. Good stuff.

I USE THE VANISH ON BOTH SPINNING AND BAITCASTING. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE ANY LINE TWIST IS WHEN TROLLING BUT YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT WITH A SWIVEL. I PULL OFF ABOUT FIVE FEET EVERY TIME I RETIE, AND CHANGE MY LINE QUITE AFEW TIMES THROUGH THE YEAR. LOST TOO MANY FISH BECAUSE OF WEAK OR WORN LINE DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ANY MORE.

I've used Fireline on all my rods for the last three years. I did pick up some Iron Silk to try this year on the flipping rod.
