Knowing the list of parameters that need to be considered when choosing this tackle will help to determine which line will be most suitable for a particular fishing method. It is not always necessary to give preference to thin lines, but in most cases they are optimal.
Instructions
Step 1
With all the variety of lines, two main classes of these products can be distinguished: braided cords (braids) and mono lines (monofilaments). The latter are nylon and nylon. Braided lines - multifilament, produced in the form of braided ropes or in a special sheath. The former are considered classic. In recent years, "sinking" lines and covered with fluorescent paint have been produced. Another important parameter for choosing a fishing line is its seasonality. Fishing threads are summer and winter.
Step 2
The diameter of the fishing line is chosen depending on the size of the bait (attachment). Thick products are suitable for catching large fish or in a place where there is a lot of grass and snags. For fishing with spinning, thick fishing line will be more sensitive, if the bottom is sandy, you should choose a yellowish thread, if with thickets of algae - green, if peat or clay - brown.
Step 3
Another important parameter is the transparency of the line. Flucarbon is considered the best material in this regard. These items are quite expensive, so you can buy fluorocarbon coated threads. Their refractive index of light is also close to zero.
Step 4
When choosing a fishing line, the first thing to look for is its shine. If the thread is matte, it means that it was produced a long time ago and its quality is questionable. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, microcracks will necessarily appear on it, which can lead to rupture. This is due to the fact that over time, plasticizers and stabilizers sweat from each thread.
Step 5
If the gloss of the line is satisfactory, you need to make sure that it has a uniform calibra- tion. To do this, you need to wind a thread about a meter long from a spool and carefully examine it for thickenings or, conversely, the presence of thinner places. These flaws are difficult to determine visually, so you will need to put on a small sinker on the line and gradually move it along it. If there are thickenings, they will definitely show up.
Step 6
Next, you need to pay attention to what is the rigidity of the line. You should be aware that the soft thread is less alarming for the fish during the capture of the bait. But for fishing with wobblers and other jerky lures, on the contrary, a hard mono line is preferable. For spinning fishing, you will need a low-stretch braided line. For fishing with a fishing rod, it is better to choose a thin soft thread, matched in color in accordance with the characteristics of the bottom of the reservoir. For bottom bait fishing, you can buy a low-stretch monofilament or a strong braid. In this fishing method, the color of the thread is also very important.
