Types of fishing lines. Part one.
Good time. Hope you know, good fishing line is the base for successful and enjoyable fishing. I want talk to you about different types fishing lines: monofilament line, braided fishing line, fluorocarbon and colored lines.
At first lets see to Monofilament line. Monofilament means a single strand of line, but in sport fishing it has become know as nylon fishing line. Nylon Monofilament is a single-component item, which is formed through a compressing process in which fused plastic is formed into a strand through a die. Nylon Monofilament line is a co-product of crude oil conversion. Premium grade line receives more attention in quality-control, have a lot of additives what makes line stronger, and have more abrasion resistant than normal line. This is why the premium lines is more expensive.
Then lets take a look at Co-filament one, which adds more resistance to the line but keeps the line strength, sensitivity, and has great wear and tear resistance.
Okay, look like we’re done with filament. Next are Fused Lines. Fused line composed form dozens microfilaments of gel spun polyethylene fiber what fused together. This construction produces a single strand of mega thing and ultra strong line. This kind of lines also has very good abrasion resistance and sensitivity.
Time to overview Braided fishing line. Braided line consists of interlaced stands of nylon, what make a multifilament line named Dacron. Dacron was the best before the invention of nylon. It’s not used for lines now, but substantially it is used in fly fishing reels. Braided line is configured with extra strong and thin synthetic fibre what, just imagine, 10 times stronger than steel (this material is used in military purposes and in aerospace craft). Because of its thinness, durability, abrasion resistance, sensitiveness and other factors braided fishing line was acknowledged as the best line in most fishing situation. Pay attention when you tie a knot – using of incorrect knot for braided line will come the line untied. Uni and Palomar knots are most suitable for most brands of braided lines. Using the knot what manufacture recommends to use is good idea also J. Also it is acceptable to use super-glue to make sure you knot will stay tied. Okay let consider we are done with braided fishing line.
To be continued… You can read about fluorocarbon and colored lines in one of my next articles. Have a nice day!
First one, I wish acquaint you with, is Bait Casting Reel, also known as Conventional Reel. On this reel the line is coiled on a revolving spool, which is fixed above the rod. Almost each of these reels equipped with a level wind mechanism, what guides the fishing line back evenly on to the spool while you rewind a line, and drag adjustments which help provide line control while you cast. To cast with Bait Casting Reel you have to move the rod backward first and then snap it forward. To stop cast you have to place your thumb over the line when it reached required distance.
usually when the lure or bait hits the water and stops forward motion. But the reel, however, doesn’t stop, and the line spools off the reel so quick that it ends up in a tangled mass which can take forever to fix. Of course, as with any baitcaster, a novice fisherman is going to have a lot of problems with backlashing in the beginning . Nowadays, Bait Casting Reels are usually made from aluminum or stainless steel and unlike the spinning reels they have a mechanism that prevents the line from getting stuck or twisting under itself on the spool when retrieval is performed. When lures of different weight are attached the casting reels need to be readjusted. The Bait Casting Reel design will work well with a wide variety of fishing line but
