Been out of saltwater fishing for a while.

Back in the day, stren magnathin was my go to line, but I think it's discontinued.

Sunline Super Natural seems to get good reviews.

What line are yall using in saltwater these days?

I use Ande Premium or Sufix Superior mono for all of my offshore trolling rods and some ligher weight bottom rods. I’ve had good results with both. Most of my heavier bottom rods are spooled with 80-100# PowerPro braid.

For inshore rods I typically use either 20-30# PowerPro braid, or 12-17# Sufix Elite mono.

P Line CX premium or power pro.

I've tried several cheaper braids.  power pro is the best hands down and worth it imo

I will second the Andes mono being good. I use 15lb test for trout and redfish in my area. But I also like braid in the 30 pound test range because I can horse the fish in and end the fight sooner when chasing schools of redfish.

30 pound Fluorocarbon or Ande pink for leader. 30 pound power pro for main line inshore. May go lighter, but most of my fishing is in stained water and lots of toothy critters.
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

When I was doing that ... braided line with a tag end of mono or more likely flouro as a shock absorber at the bottom, enough to reel one loop onto the reel and leave ~6-8 feet out off the tip.
