The wide range of products presented in fishing shops does not simplify the choice at all. For example, each type of line has its own disadvantages and advantages. It is worth choosing them based on your preferred type of fishing. There are several fundamentally different types of spinning lines.
Which is better: monofilament or braided line?
Monofilament fishing line is highly durable, made of polyamide. High-quality monofilament with a thickness of 0.2 mm can withstand a catch of up to 4 kg. This fishing thread has a high degree of elasticity. It provides extra cushioning and helps when fishing. This type of fishing line has high abrasion resistance, which is very important on reservoirs with a rocky bottom.
This line is as transparent as possible, and therefore invisible in the water. Its low coefficient of friction ensures the casting distance of the lure. The most attractive season for its use is the winter season. It is better to choose it for catching small specimens of fish. The cost of a monofilament line varies and often depends on the popularity of the manufacturer.
Compared to mono, braided line has a higher strength, which is provided by thin polyester fibers bonded together. This type of fishing thread is not elastic, but its abrasion resistance is higher. Casting a spinning rod with braided line is more difficult due to its increased lightness. Such a line is used, as a rule, on large deep rivers with a powerful current. It is better to choose it for catching predatory fish species with special baits. With its help, you can cope with a trophy of any size. Braid prices are quite high.
The choice of fishing line for spinning by color, manufacturer
The vast majority of lines are transparent. Today in stores you can see fishing lines and green, and brown, and yellow, and even rainbow shades. Such lines are indispensable when it is necessary for its color to match the color of the bottom of the reservoir. For example, in grassy areas, it is better to give preference to greenish lines. For a reservoir with a sandy bottom, it is better to choose a brownish or yellow fishing line. Fluorescent blue lines are very popular. They are most visible to the fisherman and invisible to the fish.
You can choose a fishing line for spinning, focusing on the manufacturer. American, German, Japanese brands are popular. In modern shops you can find both expensive and moderate in cost. Among those and others, there are good quality goods.
Provide the selected line with optimal storage conditions. It is best to keep it in a cool, dry and dark place. It is good if it is wound on the spool of the reel. Remember, there are different uses for each line. Therefore, it is better to stock up on an arsenal of several spools with different types of fishing threads.
