Like you I have been using trilene xl 4 , 6 , 8 lbs test lines these are a good choice with out the cost of the braided or hybrid lines , I like a line as lite as possible for the conditions but with enough strength to get a good hook set to much stretch in the line can let your fish shake the hook at the net. we use braided line or a hybrid mix for trolling, there are many good lines out there try a few build your confidence in it, and catch fish
