Korda boom is hard to beat in my eyes. Also a cheaper basix version out that could be worth a look at.

Nash Heavy Duty Mono Snag Leader in 30lb .50mm has worked well for me.

I mostly use Big Game Flourocarbon leader, for stiffer boom sections on hinges. Pulls straight without needing to steam. I think it’s around 100m to a spool too, so lasts for ages.

Don’t normally rate Korda products but their boom material is good, pulls straight with a bit of friction heat in it. A bit easier to work with than bristle filament.

Leave the off the spool curve, that way they can suck it in from all angles.

I think I have some of that so will give it a go. I was seeing whether there was a fluoro really, however the ones I have tried haven’t worked as I liked. I tried the rigmarole CamH2O which pulled straight but often broke when pulling knots tight so lost faith in that.

I've used Amnesia in 12, 15 and 20lbs for a good few years now and find it super reliable. If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it.
If you're wanting something stiffer, 15lb ESP Bristle Filament might fit the bill. Again very reliable.

Currently using amnesia, mainly due to the level of stiffness (25lb) and the way it can be pulled straight with two knot pullers.

Has anyone found and used something that is better than this.

Tried some other materials but all require steaming to get straight.
