Based on denier ratings, some of the lines currently being sold in the United States are much larger than the label on the spool. In some cases, an angler thinking he is buying 12lb line is actually buying 22lb line with a 12lb label on it.
Inflated line sizes can impact the performance of lures, which often swim or run better with lighter line. In particular, crankbaits and jerk baits run deeper with smaller diameter lines, allowing them to reach maximum depth. For that reason, avid trolling anglers have long found themselves in the habit of purchasing lines based on diameter, knowing that this key metric will impact the diving depths of their crankbaits when trolled.
Featured Partners. Others behave timidly but generally tend to eat. If the fish cannot see the line, or it sees it like something that would not scare it, it is more likely to attack the bait. It is important to understand the behavior of light in water to comprehend the phenomenon of being seen in the water. When daylight enters the water, it begins to be absorbed.
Infrared, red, and ultraviolet are absorbed first. Finally, blue and ultraviolet invisible light is absorbed. Something red becomes dull black a few meters below the water. This offers an easily recognizable pattern. Deeper, the red loses shape detail and increases camouflage for the fish. Typical clear lines do not show this effect. Part of the light hitting the line on the surface and below the surface extends down into the line. As a result, the line becomes clearly visible as a dull line in the water.
In addition, the light they carry creates a halo around them, and the line looks thicker than it is. The line becomes distinct like a glowing lamp in the dark, especially since the red light carried from the surface is less at the bottom.
Another factor is the color of the line. A pink line will be very noticeable for you, but in the water, it turns pink gray since red light is not in the environment and its visibility is reduced, especially at the bottom. But at a depth close to the surface, pink will be very noticeable. Blue is the least preferred. Because only blue light is found as the depth increases.
In this case, the blue line reflects the light to the maximum, and its visibility increases. Gray, which is the color of smoke, draws less attention as it absorbs the light in the environment more.
Green does not attract much attention to the fish at low depths with lots of greenery around. Transparent lines, on the other hand, turn into a distinct frozen line, especially because they scatter the light they receive from outside. On the other hand, because the material they are made of has a different refractive index than water, they show lens effect.
In conventional fishing lines, the line becomes translucent due to the refractions and reflections between the water and the micro-cracks that occur during use. In shallow areas where there is much light, especially in cloudy water, these lines are not noticeable. But they can be easily noticed at average depths and clear waters. These effects are most common in night hunting. An ordinary transparent line becomes easily visible with the light and sparkle on the surface and scares the fish.
But this effect diminishes on a moonlit night. Fish also hunt better in the moonlight, as they are at higher elevations where they can see more and feed more. A number of considerations can be taken to improve visibility, namely to choose a less visible line.
First of all, the thinner line means the absolute less visible. Another issue is the color of the line. Especially at depths of less than 20m, the green and smoke gray smoked colors are more difficult to distinguish. Deeper the pink color is harder to see. Interestingly, some special lines become completely transparent and invisible in the water. This is because their reaction to light has a refractive index close to that of water, and the bonded polymer structures do not cause micro-cracks.
These lines are indisputably the most advantageous in terms of not being seen. There are also lines with different colors for each unit meter, half a meter, etc. This creates the typical camouflage pattern effect and makes it difficult to spot. On the other hand, the resistance of a line against peeling is also an important criterion. When using the line, it is often pulled from somewhere by rubbing. In the meantime, it is absolutely worn out, but some are less and some are very.
As a general rule, solid lines are good in this regard as well. This friction affects the line in two ways. First of all, some of the surfaces of the line stay where it is rubbed. This obviously causes thinning of the line in places. On the other hand, this friction causes cracks on the line. This adversely affects visibility in the water. Especially outside of the water, friction against the reel, rod guides, etc. This elongation occurs in the friction zone. So much so that while one side of the line remains the same, the length of the other side changes, and then the cooling begins.
In this case, it causes cracks on the line. However, lines that do not tend to expand despite softening when heated are less affected by this problem. Lines that provide this feature will be silicone-added or reinforced with various polymers. When I was a kid I had a small aquarium in our home.
I had different kinds of fishes. I like fishes. Then I started to research all kinds of fishes and fishing too. I read lots of books about them. I like to share my experiences.
Magnet fishing is a great hobby for people who like to spend time at sea, quite similar to metal prospecting, but basically the same logic as metal prospecting on land. The magnet and system used are Fishing magnets are mostly known as magnet fishing. With its name, magnet fishing is a combination of treasure hunting and environmentalism.
For participants, the goal is to find objects that are Skip to content The threads used by fishermen in fishing, that are produced by mixing natural or artificial fibers with each other or used individually, twisted, bent, or produced in the form of a single fiber are called fishing lines.
These are listed as follows: Submission of the bait to fish Catching the fish on the hook or bait Pulling the fish to shore or boat After this information, it comes to the issues we need to pay attention to when choosing a line.
Spectra and Dyneema are two modern brand names for ultra-strong polyethylene fiber that is used in high-tech fishing line. It is many times stronger than steel, more durable than polyester and so light, it floats. When it comes to active styles of fishing that require frequent casting, we recommend smooth, light lines because they come off the spool easier, enabling more accurate casts over longer distances. Less stretch in fishing line results in more sensitivity to feel the fish, which is what anglers are looking for.
However, in certain instances, some line stretch is desirable, e. Unlike in humans and computers, less memory is better when it comes to fishing lines. Memory refers to a line's ability to retain its shape after deformation. A line with a lot of memory "remembers" the loops that develop when it is wound up on a spool. Lines with no memory stay straight when they come off the spool, and as a result develop less friction on guides and reels, which enables longer, smoother casts. Line loses up to a third of its strength at the knot, so we recommend that you size fishing line generously, even though the actual breaking strength exceeds its rating by approx.
When in the water, it was seemingly invisible, solidly living up to its name in our tests. Another nice feature is its impressive sensitivity. It allowed us to detect even the smallest bites and set the hook when a fish took the bait. It also features relatively low memory for a fluorocarbon line, which was a plus when casting, and it had the unique ability to sink faster than the other lines—something we appreciated when trying to drop a lure close to where a fish had just jumped.
The only real complaint we had about this line is its casting distance. While it beat out many of the monofilament lines we tested, it couldn't keep up with the braided ones in our tests. Overall though, if you want a nearly invisible line with great sensitivity and strength, this line is for you. If you want the right combination of versatility, strength, and sensitivity at a low price, look no further than the time-tested Berkley Trilene XL.
While this line lacks some of the fancy features found on the lines above, it makes up for it with quality and versatility. It had reasonably low memory for a monofilament line, which helped it resist kinks for better casting. Speaking of that, this was the best mono line when it came to casting performance. It ran smoothly through the guides on multiple rods and helped us place the bait right where we wanted it. It was also a very versatile fishing line, working equally as well in fresh and saltwater.
One of the few things we found to complain about was its abrasion resistance. While it was better than some of the other mono lines, it was still reasonably easy to break the line if ran over some rocks a few times. This meant we lost a few lures to the rocky lakeshore and riverbed. But if that minor flaw isn't a big deal for you, we recommend picking up the Berkley Trilene XL at a low price for a great product.
When it came to feel, KastKing SuperPower Braided line was about as sensitive as any line we've ever used. It consistently let us know when a fish was biting and helped us quickly set the hook as soon as they took the bait.
It also gave us impressive casting distance and was respectable when it came to abrasion resistance. And being that it's a braided line, its diameter was far smaller than a similar mono line, meaning we could fit a lot of line on a small reel.
This was especially beneficial when hiking out to a secret spot and wanting to bring the smallest and lightest gear possible. The only downsides? For one, if you've ever tied a knot with braided line, you know how hard it can be. This line was no different and might even be more difficult than other braided lines. There was also the small issue of the die coming off on your hands when spooling it. Not a big deal, but not desirable, either. All in all, if you want a fishing line that will give you incredible feel, check out the KastKing SuperPower Braided.
If you need a no-frills fishing line that gets the job done in nearly any environment, look no further than the Berkley Trilene Big Game.
It's amazingly strong and resists abrasion well. This was proven many times when we got a lure stuck in some rocks, and the line was nearly impossible to break even after scraping over the rocks many times. This line was also great for different fishing styles, whether it be casting with a lure or just dropping a hook with a worm on it.
It was also one of the best when it came to knot strength. Once we tied a knot, we were confident it would hold. Although it had many upsides, there were some downsides to consider. This line had the most stretch of all the lines tested. This diminished its feel quite a bit, so we missed more than a few bites, and trying to set the hook was a problem several times.
It also has a fair bit of memory, so expect to have some issue if you leave this on the reel for an extended period. Overall, this line was great for a range of styles and techniques. So, if you need a line that can handle the rigors of everyday fishing, you might want to give the Berkley Trilene Big Game a try. If you like fluorocarbon line but don't like the higher cost, KastKing FluoroKote is a happy medium. It provides time-tested strength and versatility of a mono line with a fluorocarbon coating that helps reduce the line's visibility in the water.
And because it's mono, it still provides a good deal of flexibility compared to a full fluorocarbon line.
