Fishing line

If you choose the right line, fishing will turn into an easy and effective process, because it is responsible for accurate casting of the bait at the right distance, which is especially important in summer weather, and comfortable fishing with the right bait that is appreciated in winter. Without the right line, it is very difficult to make an effective hooking and fish out the fish without any problems. That's why don't underestimate the correct line choice.

Types of fishing line

There are three types of line: & nbsp;

• Classic monofilament is divided into two subtypes: monofilament and copolymer. To make modern fishing line, the manufacturer often uses nylon, which gives transparency but cannot provide invisibility (with a refractive index of 1.52, which is 0.2 more than the refractive index of water). Such a fishing line has high strength, low price, widespread use, rigidity and elasticity. But along with these advantages, there are also disadvantages in the form of fragility and a high degree of stretch in the water, so fishing with a mono line can be a little difficult.
• Braided line consists of many threads and fibers intertwined with each other. The threads can be simply woven, but often they are baked together to provide greater strength, there are also shell models, with a core on the inside, and stiff fibers on the outside. Such a high-density fishing line almost does not stretch in water, super strong and sensitive. But it has disadvantages, including a high price, a short service life (on a par with a budget monofilament), the formation of lumps, because of which fishing can be a little spoiled.
• Fluorocarbon fishing line is a new type of line almost invisible to fish. It is based on an innovative material of the same name, ultra-transparent fluorocarbon. The disadvantage is the high price and weak strength, but this is fixable if you buy a fishing line a little larger than the required diameter. Much also depends on the materials used by the manufacturer.

How to choose a fishing line

Approaching the choice fishing line, it is important to pay attention to the following parameters:

• The rigidity of the line, which is responsible for the strength and ability to withstand heavy loads. At the same time, excessive rigidity can harm: the line can unwind poorly from the reel and the casting distance decreases.
  
• Line stretch is a characteristic indicating the degree of stretch under load. < / li>
• Breaking load is the greatest force the line can hold until it breaks.

An important component of high-quality equipment is a fluorocarbon leash to which a weighting agent and bait with hooks are attached. For a feeder, it is best to use a mono line with minimal stretching; for a rod with a float, it is not recommended to use a braid. As for winter and summer fishing, there are no special differences in the use of fishing line, there are special winter cords, but monofilaments also show themselves well in work.
