LINE WARS

Information

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.

Comment by dick tabbert on July 28, 2017 at 11:46am: John just remember with flouro there is no stretch when setting to hook.

Comment by dick tabbert on July 28, 2017 at 11:44am: John I do use a lot of 4 lb test but have a couple reels spooled with 2 lb test. I love the light line. I will admit 2 lb test is a little hard to find at times.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 28, 2017 at 11:15am: Dick ,Reading this I see why you might prefer Flouro .I 've always thought of it for leaders only . But who knows I may try certain Rods/Reels and situations with some.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 28, 2017 at 11:11am: oh, flouro sinks faster than mono ! I imagine its not good for cold water situations that want a slow fall unless it's not a big difference . It supposed to be more sensitive and less visible so I guess that is the tradeoff?

Comment by John Sheehan on July 28, 2017 at 11:02am: What's the lightest /thinnest Fluro you use Dick?

Comment by dick tabbert on July 27, 2017 at 2:48pm: Yes John. I just love fluorocarbon so that's just a bonus that it sinks good with my small jigs..

Comment by John Sheehan on July 27, 2017 at 11:52am: So you are looking for line that sinks slowly for small Jigs no matter what temp you are fishing Dick ?

Comment by dick tabbert on July 27, 2017 at 11:47am: John I'm doing fluorocarbon lines. They do sink but for my flyrod since I use floating line I us mono since it floats. All my fishing with the ultra lite spinning is jig fishing so a bonus for fluorocarbon line + no stretch.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 27, 2017 at 10:15am: I hear mention of how line "floats" as being a consideration. How important is that ? For cold water /Slow Fall needs?

Comment by John Sheehan on July 27, 2017 at 10:11am: I spooled an UL reel meant for an 8 ' long cast float rod with IZOR XXX Super Co- Polymer line today . Picked up the clear though I prefer Moss Green color line . Was looking for Pline but decided to go with what the local shop had along the same lines. I'll let you know what I think when I try it out . 9 bucks for 300 yards which is agreeable. Thin diameter from the looks of it but don't know the actual gauge .ties well, it's supple. Now to test Cast ability, strength, abrasion resistance , sensitivity and low memory.
