Not every angler who comes to the Putorana Plateau for trophy fishing trips is familiar with the differences between fishing lines. The age of technology has made it possible to install synthetic lines on spinning rods, fishing poles, and bottom fishing tackle, even though their thickness makes them appear unreliable and durable at first glance. However, in reality, they can support enormous weights.
The types of forests are determined by the structure
In the past, fishing lines were made from natural materials such as silk, linen, and so on. Today, fishing lines come in several modifications and different structures. They have become thinner in diameter, allowing for larger fish to be caught while rafting. Moreover, they can withstand large predators such as taimen, salmon trout, sturgeon, pike, and many others.
Monofilament line
Nylon and fluorocarbon have recently become a cost-effective alternative to nylon fishing lines. Monofilament fishing line offers numerous advantages, including:
- Inexpensive fishing line products that are significantly superior to outdated braided lines.
- They are more reliable and durable.
- We always have a wide range of products on sale, allowing you to choose products that can withstand heavy loads.
- Monofilament lines come in various diameters and allow fishing at any time of year.
Unfortunately, monofilament fishing line has a drawback. Nylon and nylon stretch, leading to rapid wear and tear. It's not recommended for long-distance fishing. It's also not ideal for deep-sea fishing.
Fluorocarbon
Another type of monofilament line is fluorocarbon. It has several advantages and differences:
- The fishing line's material (fluorocarbon) becomes almost invisible in water. This is due to its low refractive index.
- This monofilament does not stretch as much and is considered more reliable and durable.
- The product resists wear and abrasion, even when exposed to the sharp teeth of river "alligators and leopards."
- Fluorocarbon does not absorb water and tolerates direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays well.
- Fluorocarbon fishing line is the most durable.
Its disadvantages include its higher cost. Another drawback is that tying knots Due to the rigidity of the material, it is much more difficult to produce than other analogues.
Braided line is a multi-filament fishing line.
Most often used as a cord, for example for fly fishing rods.
Advantages:
- The product does not stretch, which makes it a better quality rig for spinning rods.
- Braided line is considered more sensitive to predator bites, which helps catch more trophy predators. It helps set the hook at the right time.
- Braided line is stronger than any other alternative. It can also be used with thinner fishing lines.
- With its help, you can cast over very long distances.
The disadvantages are that braided thread is more demanding when winding onto the reel spool;
- It needs to be wound correctly to prevent something terrible from happening. That is, to prevent a beard from appearing;
- The fishing line is visible in the water, which alerts many predators;
- If the spinning rod has poorly processed rings, it will quickly wear out and break;
- Braided wire that is not treated with a special solution is susceptible to freezing in winter;
- If the braid gets snagged, you can't tear it with your bare hands. It can cause cuts and injuries;
- The high cost of braided fishing line isn't always considered a good value. Especially since the strength of inexpensive and expensive products of the same thickness can vary significantly.
Other types of fishing lines
These are the main types of fishing lines. However, manufacturers also produce other types of fishing tackle. Most often, these are unremarkable lines, but occasionally, some products deserve respect.
- One of these is treated braided lines. The line is coated with a special coating that improves glide and is highly resistant to moisture.
- Other new products include ultra-thin fishing lines. They are strong and reliable, combining the positive characteristics of previous products.
This is the kind of gear that is added to the fisherman's arsenal these days.
