Brands make a big difference. I use Maxima green for leaders. Is very
limp. Other brands may be stiff for the same pound test.

It just seems like common sense that line dia. and weight will have much
to
do with casting distance and spool speed. As you decrease line weight &
dia.
your spool speed would increase, thus the increase in backlasking.
Increase
the spool tension to accomodate for this.

And AJH, How could a brand make a difference? IMHO, that is a personal
preference, and has nothing to do with line dia. or dynamics

IMO the brand of mono makes a difference, 12lb Ande is great but above
that it's like wire.. 17 lb Bass Pro Shops Excel casts real good..
