RE:Mono leader, vs Mono, vs fluorocarbon
If you want the best advantage regardless if it will help or not, just fish using blue label saguaro fluorocarbon leader. "not florocarbon fishing line"..... mono leader material, forget that product, worthless in saltwater application.

LEADER line Question
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before. So i,ve read the in game book on leaders. So if i fish for a shy fish like Tench, i should use a 75cm leader? IF i fish for bream 50cm ? The last question i have is. Use Fluorocarbon line for these fish, or the high-polymer ?As its thinner and i'm lead to believe , thinner line increases bite rate? Happy fishing.

How do I read these specs and choose the right fishing line?
Hello everyone, I am very new to fishing, i bought this rod with a okuma avenger c2000. I bought it for Trout fishing. The very first fish I caught was a Northern Pike. My problem is that the fishing line snapped on me a lot of times while just casting between 7-21g lures.. the fishing line is Fluorocarbon something something... rated for about 6 or 7kg I believe. Don't have the original packaging anymore. Long story short. I lost alot of lures because of the fishing line snapping I suppose. I knotted the lures good enough I know that for sure. Can someone reccomend me a good fishingline that is more rigid so that I am less likely to lose lures? I don't know if I can just slap on a line for let's say 20kg and call it a day? I am really that new to fishing. Any help is welcome! submitted by /u/Prestigious-Analyst6 to r/FishingForBeginners [link] [comments]

What brands are considered to be the most durable/strongest fishing line?
I got my grandpa’s old tackle box after he passed and it’s full of some mystery mono that’s probably older than I am. Slowly working my way through replacing everything. My buddy only fishes fluorocarbon because it’s invisible and says that’s the best way to go. Then another buddy is saying that you have to be fishing that braided line to really have some sensitivity. They both say buying bulk is key and my buddy got 1000 yards of braid from Alibaba for $15 and says it’s lasted him two seasons with no breaks. I’m confused. A few questions: For general freshwater (bass, pike) do you spool straight fluoro or braid with a fluoro leader? What’s the actual difference between say an “8-carrier” and a “4-carrier” braid? Is it something you can notice? How much do you really spool? I heard mono should be a yearly spool, but braid can last years Has anyone actually tried those “copolymer” lines - are they a good compromise or just hype? I don’t want to lose a trophy fish because I bought cheap line but also don’t want to be a sucker for name brand? submitted by /u/AutoModerator to r/fishing_lines [link] [comments]

Braided line with fluorocarbon for pike
Hey guys looking to get out fishing this weekend and trying to hook into some pike. Right now I have a medium heavy rod spooled up with 40lb braid (suffix 832). I am looking to tie on a leader. I do have a couple steel leaders but I’ve heard many good things about using fluorocarbon as leader. I’m thinking 30lb flouro, would this be a good combo? Strong enough to handle some small to medium sized pike? submitted by /u/Low-Register1602 to r/FishingOntario [link] [comments]

Fishing line tips
How do I go about deciding the strength and type of line for fishing? I recently got a curado 150mg and mostly fish bass with faster action lures like spinners and crankbaits but also an occasional soft plastic. I usually just throw on whatever mid strength the reel says in fluorocarbon line but for an actual bigger budget setup I want to do it right submitted by /u/ConfusionNational314 to r/Fishing_Gear [link] [comments]

Big fan of fluorocarbon line for perch, yet it seems like a lot of people in Europe still won’t try it. Dare take inspiration from the bass fishing guys!
One of the best tools for perch fishing is fluorocarbon line, for a big variety of different techniques. The most benefits come from slack line presentations, such as jerkbaits, free rig, backslide rig or soft jerkbait presentations. The sinking line will pick up subtle bites even on slack, which then transfers through to your rod. Braid or mono won’t do that. I feel like there’s a lack of people really trying this line in most of Europe. I’ve fished fluoro since 2019 and have really learned its benefits. Nowadays, I think I have 7 different perch combos with fluoro, 12 with braided line and 2 with monofilament line, so I distribute it like that. Different lines for different baits. There are big benefits for certain techniques. Give it a try on one of your combos if you haven’t yet. Think more bass fishing!

How long should I let my line sit spooled before I fish?
After 2 years of no fishing (and admittedly lots of knowledge slipping out the door), I recently spooled a new spinning reel with a fluorocarbon line but forgot to soak it or use line conditioner. How long should I let it sit on the reel so it doesn't just pop off when I open the bail or tangle? submitted by /u/shiinaexplainsit to r/FishingForBeginners [link] [comments]

Is 20lb flurocarbon fishing line the same as 20lb flurocarbon leader material?
I’ve been seeing the same brands sell flurocarbon fishing line and fluorocarbon “Leader Material” but wouldn’t they be essentially the same? I’ve been using normal flurocarbon fishing line for leaders and it works great plus a spool is much cheaper/bigger than the one marketed as leader material. submitted by /u/fishing_enjoyer96 to r/Fishing [link] [comments]

What fishing line for crankbaits?
I needed (not really) a crankbait setup. I wanted to try out new brands. I purchased the Abu Garcia Veritas winch 7'2 medium light and a Quantum Throttle 2500 reel. What kind of line should I use for it. I was thinking maybe 10lb braid with 8lb fluorocarbon leader or fully KastKing fluorocote.

I fished the same spots with braided line and fluorocarbon for a full month to see if it actually matters. Here's what I found
Been seeing the braid vs. fluoro debate forever so I decided to actually test it properly. Same rod, same lure, same spots, alternating line type every trip for 4 weeks Conditions: clear to slightly stained water, bass fishing, mix of open water and light cover Results that surprised me: in clear water I got noticeably fewer strikes on braid 0 not zero, but fewer. In stained water or with moving lures there was essentially no difference in catch rate. The sensitivity difference is real. With braid I felt everything. Whether that translates to more fish depends entirely on your technique and what you're fishing for My takeaway: fluoro as main line in clear water finesse situations, braid with fluoro leader for everything else. "Just use one line for everything" is fine advice for casual fishing but if you're fishing challenging conditions it genuinely matters. What's your go-to line setup and why? submitted by /u/oweyoo to r/Fishing_Gear [link] [comments]

Leader and trace size vs main line for fishing "light"
My usual practive is to use a trace line or wire, appropriate for the type of fish I hope to catch. For example, nice thick abrasive resistant trace for flatty, same or even wire for taylor and mackeral/tuna etc. For most estuary fish, just fluorocarbon about 15 or 20lb is my usual. However, people always talk about fishing light, and that's not just the sinker. So, if, say, the braid is light - say 8lb, should I really be going down to about the same for the trace? Then there's the leader. I like to tie a couple of meters of leader onto the braid, especially for a running sinker rig. Should that also be the same as the braid, in the interest of "fishing light"? submitted by /u/4warn to r/FishingAustralia [link] [comments]

Is a tapered monofilament leader necessary for a loop-to-loop connection, or can I make do with "regular" (made for spin fishing) monofilament/fluorocarbon?
So I just got my first fly rod/reel. I'm hoping to test it out a little over the weekend- probably just practice casting it, although if I'm able to get a handle on it I might do some exploratory fishing for panfish. I do have an issue, though- while I have flyline loaded on the reel, I don't actually have a leader for it. Do I need a specialized tapered leader, or can I use monofilament/fluorocarbon (Berkley Trilene 4lb mono is my first choice) and do a loop-to-loop connection with that? And another thing... when people talk about local fly shops, how "local" are they? The nearest tackle shop on Google Maps is 40 minutes away. The nearest specialized fly fishing shop is over an hour. There are tapered leaders at a nearby DSG but the largest are in 5wt, my line is a 6wt. Daily commute is is more than 40 minutes each way so I'm used to it, but I'm already gonna be busy shopping so it would be reeeaally convenient if I didn't have to drive that far. submitted by /u/Bradley271 to r/flyfishing [link] [comments]

The worst fluorocarbon line: Sunline Shooter
I fish with baitcasters, and sometimes there’s a bit of loose line near the end of a cast. Usually, I just pull out that slack and reel it back in—problem solved. But with Sunline Shooter, it almost drove me crazy. Every time I pull out the loose line, new loops appear again, over and over. Sometimes I have to pull out almost the entire spool just to fix it. I’ve never had this happen with any other fluorocarbon. Seriously, how are people living with this line? What am I missing here? submitted by /u/fllf2005 to r/bassfishing [link] [comments]

Fishing line
I am completely new to fishing and I just got a Daiwa Samurai x2 since I heard it was really good for the price and I thought it came with line and it does not. I wasn’t sure what line to get so I bought this Red Label Seaguar 20 lb line but after watching videos on how to add the line to the reel. I’m not sure I got the right capacity line. Any suggestion for my rod/reel combo rod that I got? Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/cubsfan052 to r/FishingForBeginners [link] [comments]

Is it possible to fish with only the fluorocarbon line?
Hello everyone! I've had this doubt from a while now: is it possible to fish with only the fluorocarbon line without the braided one? I saw that the most of the fishermen that use the spinning tecnique, use the braided line and in the final part of it, they knot a small piece of fluorocarbon. Why do they do that?

How important is a leader when fishing with braided line?
I’ve been fishing with 8lb Berkeley Trilene XL monofilament for the last several months with no issue but recently decided to make the swap to PowerPro 20lb braid. I also bought some 10lb fluorocarbon to use as a leader, but I’m struggling with the leader knots (I’ve been using the Palomar knot for tying on the lures). It took me about 3 minutes to get the double uni knot tied and am wondering if having the leader is necessary or if I can just tie the braid to my rigs like I would do with mono submitted by /u/TheDavesterism to r/FishingForBeginners [link] [comments]

Fluorocarbon leader lines - has it affected your hit rate noticeably?
I use both mono and fluoro and can't really tell if the fluoro affects my bite rate. The only tiny preference I have is mono for topwater lures, but if i have a flurocarbon leader tied on i ain't changing shit. Please let me know if it's worth paying the extra for fluorocarbon - and some brand names and models would be greatly appreciated. I mainly fish freshwater canals and reservoirs for peacock bass here in Singapore, and occasionally some light saltwater pier fishing. Also- who uses fluoro that's meant to be main line for their leaders? I do. If anything it's kinda hard to tie an fg knot with as it's less stiff, but i find it casts much better. And costs much less too. Thanks in advance, everyone. submitted by /u/radiotoothbrush to r/Fishing_Gear [link] [comments]
