LINE WARS

There’s a war going on out there and the battlefield is your own fishing budget or wallet. I was truly amazed when I turned the corner at my favorite wholesale outlet… the fishing aisles were completely made over. The areas were expanded more fishing rod selections etc including the line aisle… which really caught my eye!... so many consumer choices!!

This is the place to give your own personal reviews, studies, opinions on your favorite lines and applications. Remember its to the point now with so many variables and specifications some lines are better suited for different applications of fishing than other lines. However many people prefer to keep it simple and do it all with one line… Either way fish happy,  

The group is designed to inform ask questions and give reviews.

also any hints or tips pertaining to fishing lines... knots etc.

I forgot to mention knots:

uni slip knot for line-to-lure connection

Double uni for line-to-line connection

Never had one fail.

FOR FUN;; CHECK OUT THE WEB ON ;; BERKLEY;S KNOI WARS !!  ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF KNOTS TESTED;; USING BOTH BRAID; AND MONO LINES..  DOUBLE LINE THRU HOOK EYE; AS WELL AS SINGLE LINE !  MAKES FOR GOOD THOUGHT !!

Use braid or mono with fluorocarbon leader.  Suffix or Stren does fine even by itself.

4-6lb test depending on lure weight.
