Mono line help needed
WOW! Again, not trying to be rude, but have your ever considered a smaller
weight class mono? I'm a tournament Walleye angler myself, and 25lbs test
on a rig is really quite a bit - at least out here in western Canada. If
you're really worried about the break weight, you might want to consider
something like Fireline or Fushion for your applications.
Anyway, to answer your orginal question, I do some work with a harness
company that uses line from Sufix, and I personally tie all of my harnesses
now with the fluorocarbon-coated CUDA Platinum. It was originally designed
for sal****er use (obviously), but I find it makes a tremendous snell
material. The break weight is consistently 50% higher than the diameter
weight class, and I do just fine with 8lbs and 12lbs test from this company.

Not trying to be rude Jay, but what species are you targeting with 25lbs
mono harnesses?
This is the line we use for our Dixie Spinners (Walleye Rigs). I also use
the
same line when tying Stinger hooks onto my Bucktail Jigs and as the line
for
Tandem Streamers (brown & lake trout trollong - walleys like'm jiged
horizontal).
I will be making some rigs for personal use for surf fishing. I plan on
30-40lb
for a tandem drop shot type rig.
