Choosing the Right Fishing Line
When we were much younger, everything seemed to be so much easier when we wanted to fish. All we really cared about was having the pup travelling along with us, any rod would do and the little two-tray tackle box. We didn’t need much, hooks and sinkers did it for us. We didn’t really pay much attention to what we were using for line and regardless, we felt that we caught the best fish! Today, look around and see how many rods and reels you now own and check out how many different types of line you now have stashed away in the closet.
Today’s tackle industry offers a wide variety of fishing line types. For most mainstream fishing needs (such as freshwater, offshore, and saltwater), there are three basic categories of fishing lines: monofilament, fluorocarbon and braided. Each serves a unique purpose and has its own exclusive characteristics.
Since monofilament line is the most common, we’ll discuss this type of line first. Monofilament is inexpensive, strong and remains the most used fishing line on the market. Since it’s somewhat pliable, and stretches if it’s under tension, monofilament line is great if you find yourself with an aggressive fish on your line.
The biggest problem with monofilament line is that it tends to spiral off of the spool while you cast, and the springy coils caused by this “memory” turn into knots and similar negative effects. The stretch can also be a problem, especially when you are trying to pull a largemouth bass from thick weeds, or trying to keep a big striper from ducking between rocks and getting away.
Braided line which is made up of tiny braided synthetic fibers resolves some of the issues that are inherent to monofilament lines. Unlike monofilament, braided line doesn’t tend to remember how it was sitting on your reel, so it is less likely to develop knots. While very strong, it’s much thinner than monofilament too – in fact a 30-lb braided line is about the same diameter as an 8-lb monofilament line. The best thing about this braided line is that even its small size is great for filling your reel if you’re going to be fishing for small trout or bass. One of the biggest drawbacks of braided line is that it is likely to be damaged easily as it has low abrasion resistance and unfortunately it is also highly visible. If you decide to use a braided line it’s highly recommended you use a low or non-visible leader with it.
Fluorocarbon lines are the premier line for many fishermen. Fluorocarbon lines had a bad name when they first came out because so many felt that it was too rigid. This rigidity often created issues spooling and casting. Since technology has evolved, these problems seem to have lessened over time and far more fishermen feel this line solves far more problems than it had initially created. Many anglers have discovered that fluorocarbon is perfect for creating leaders – this is because fluorocarbon line is highly abrasion resistant. If you’re fishing in deep water that reflects a lot of light or shallow waters, the fluorocarbon line could be just right since it is nearly invisible.
Regardless of what type of fishing you are doing, you will find the right line to make your experience fun and exciting. Remember, that the right line can make a difference between the numbers of fish you bring home at the end of the day. While fishing might have been a lot easier when we were young, familiarizing ourselves with the tools that allow us to keep bringing home bigger and better fish makes it even more exciting. Combine your knowledge of lines with your knowledge of lures and while it may not seem like it’s as easy as it used to be, fishing is still an exciting adventure regardless of your age. Sure, it may not be easier, but your increased knowledge and wisdom make it more fun and even more productive.
In order for your line to work correctly you have to make sure you have the right reel to use with it. Some of the most popular reels include: Daiwa Fishing Reel and Shimano Spinning Reel.
