At Los Cazadores, we trust monofilament line for its balance of strength, stretch, and simplicity—perfect for anglers of all skill levels.
Whether you're fishing topwater for bass, trolling for trout, or rigging up for panfish, mono remains one of the most reliable options on the water.
Monofilament is a single-strand nylon line known for its forgiving nature and ease of use.
It’s perfect for beginners learning to cast and tie knots, but still favored by pros for specific applications where stretch and buoyancy give it the edge.
Why Choose Monofilament?
Monofilament line floats, which makes it a top pick for topwater lures, shallow presentations, and live bait rigs.
It stretches under pressure—helping reduce pulled hooks and absorb shock from sudden strikes.
Applications Across Species
Use 4–8 lb mono for trout, crappie, and panfish. Step up to 10–15 lb for bass, walleye, and catfish.
Heavy mono (20–40 lb+) is great for inshore saltwater species, surf casting, or backing big reels before adding braid.
Easy to Handle & Affordable
Mono ties strong knots, resists tangles, and is budget-friendly—ideal for filling multiple spools or rigging youth setups.
Available in clear, low-vis green, high-visibility yellow, and other color options to match your water conditions.
Brands You Can Count On
We carry premium monofilament from Berkley Trilene, Sufix, P-Line, Stren, and more.
Whether you're looking for abrasion resistance, line memory control, or tournament-grade sensitivity, we've got the right mono for your next cast.
Is monofilament better than fluorocarbon or braid?
It depends on your fishing style. Mono offers more stretch and is easier to handle, making it ideal for topwater, beginners, or when you want shock absorption.
How often should I replace monofilament line?
Monofilament should be replaced every few months with regular use, or immediately if you notice nicks, memory coils, or loss of strength. Sunlight and water degrade it over time.
What’s the best pound test for general freshwater fishing?
For most freshwater fishing, 6–12 lb monofilament covers everything from panfish and trout to bass and walleye. Match the pound test to the species, lure weight, and cover type.
