Fishing line for spinning reels

What is your favorite line for a spinning reel for throwing small crankbaits? Is there anything that in the 8-10 lb class that doesn't twist and that doesn't cost a fortune?

You can eliminate a lot of line twist from happening by making sure you spool up your reel correctly. Make sure the line is coming off the spool and on to your reel in the right direction and not twisting. Here is a video by Aaron Marten with a good tip to eliminate line twist on the water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSl_x6CFXuw

Well I like seagar but Pline cx is a great line. Its good for almost every tech. Its not going to cost you an arm and a leg either.

Anyone used the Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft? I've got all my bait casters spooled with Yo-Zuri Hybrid and love it, thinking of running the Ultra Soft on all my spinning gear.
