I'm having a problem with my lines. All the monofilaments I buy or look at reviews of online ( Trilene XT, all Stren, and Spiderwire Mono and bass pro shops brand line mono) all have terrible memory. What mono is there with less memory or none at all?

I think you need to give more info on what type of problem you are having. Are you using spinning reels and the line is getting twisted or a baitcaster? By saying they all have terrible memory, I assume you're talking about a spinning reel that is getting some serious line twist. If so, it may be the way you are putting the line on the reel, and not the line itself. As for brands, I've had bad luck with trilene, but very good luck with Stren, Spiderline mono, and Suffix.

I use Stren Original, 4-lb. test for trout. When you put it onto your reel, lay the Stren spool on the floor, tie the tag end to the spool on your reel. Start reeling. While you reel, keep pressure on the line with your free hand so that the line doesn't go on loose. Watch the line as it comes off the spool, and if you notice any twisting, turn the spool over. Hope that's clearer than mud. I'll check back to see if you have any questions.
