fishing line?

Question

what is the best type of fishing line to use

Answer 1

It depends on what you are after... where you are going....and the gear you are using. A good setup for fishing depends on isolating the variables. For bass I generally 8 or 10 Berkley or Shakespeare.... for panfish and bait fish I use 4 lbs Berkley..... for catfish under 25 pounds I use Cajun Line or Stren 20 pound test. Over 25 pound I use 40 pound Stren on reels and Army parachute cord for limb lines.

Answer 2

It depends on the diameter of line the reel will handle, what you are fishing for, and the conditions you are fishing in. You don't want light line in places with heavy brush or thick vegetaion because you will get broken off by fish. You don't want to use a heavy line to catch perch and the like because you use small lures & the heavy line ruins the action of the lure and in some cases, may not even go through the eye of the hook. Trying to catch large fish on light line can be done, but you may spend a lot of time getting broken off, especially if the drag is set too tight or you try to muscle the fish in. I mostly use 14lb test Stren in the clear blue for both freshwater and saltwater. For the most part, it does what I want it to and without a lot of break-offs.

Answer 3

This question is just too broad to answer........What kind of fish are you after / What kind of reels do you use / I use a monofilament called P-Line for the reels I have mono on and I use PowerPro braided line for my reels with braid on them. The P-Line is a copolymer flourocarbon that is invisible under water and very good for daytime fishing and the PowerPro is a very strong braid that is good for fishing at night or for fishing in very heavy cover around stumps / lily pads / rocks etc. Hope this helps. A lot of info is available on the net including specific knots that should be used on both kinds of line.

Answer 4

PowerPro
It is a braided line that does not coil and is abrasion resistant.
There is no stretch so you can feel every nibble.
8lb for small fish up to 150lb
In very clear water you may want to use a leader. The diameter is 1/2 to 1/3 of mono but I still think a fluorocarbon leader helps.

Answer 5

it realy depends on where you fish what your fishing for ect.
my brook rods usualy are set up with 2-4 # mono my bass rods with berkly firewire 15# test and my saltwater gear in 15- 20# mono
ive had my best luck with berkly but youll find bad lots in anny line for the moast part berkly is better abot this than stren but stren dose make a kevlar line wich is incedibly strong but has no strech
wich creates a suden breake point this is also true with braided lines . with these lines check the condition and strip off about 3 rod lingth every 4 or 5 trips

Answer 6

STREN SUPERBRAID is the best. the list of fish i've caught on it include a 220lb tarpon on 30lb test [from shore] 65 lb tarpon on 10lb test [from shore]25 lb snook on 8lb test.35lb striped bass on8lb test.35 lb permit on 10 llb test.the list goes on the line resists abraion very well and casts great.Just use flourocarbon leaders and polamar knots
