Don't Make These Fishing Line Mistakes! ( How To Avoid Them )

Who makes the best fishing line?! Which one should you use?? Does it matter for different techniques? Let's start simple for beginner anglers then dive in deep for advanced anglers! From Monofilmanet to Copolymer, Fluorocarbon to Braid, we're covering all the different lines and explaining the advantages of each!

Each style of line has benefits. Monofilament is inexpensive, strong, and easy to use. Fluorocarbon has incredible abrasion resistance and is incredibly clear. Braided line provides power in an incredibly thin package. While all of these lines have amazing benefits, they also provide challenges that need to be overcome. Understanding which line to throw for different techniques will improve your overall fishing experience. The majority of break offs, foul ups, and backlashes are a direct result of mistakes in line selection.

Below you'll find links to the exact line Tim discussed in the video. We've separated them into different categories, based on price. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
