When I am fishing the Fraser R. for sturgeon or the saltchuck for halibut, 100 pd test is the standard.
At home on the BOQ, I like braid with a mono leader (cost effective and it works) or 8 pd test mono.
River fishing, it is often mono with say 4 pd test for rainbows off of the Great Lakes or say 12-30 pf test, depending upon species targeted (mainly coho, chinook aka spring aka king, pinks, sockeye).
I think there are so many different applications that I like to ensure a variety. I do prefer buying larger spools if at all possible and find it very frustrating when I cannot get 1000 yd for mono unless I am in a larger centre.
