Fishing line is not only a connecting link between the rod and the bait, it is also an important element of any tackle. And everyone who considers himself to be a cohort of fishermen should have an understanding of its classification and application. This will help to avoid many failures and mistakes in the fishing field. Tackles are improved every year, and fishing line evolves with them. And if earlier silk or linen threads, horse hair were used in its quality , today it is made from modern synthetic materials such as silgon, kapron, kevlar, dederon, flucarbonate and others.
But for the fisherman, the main thing is not what it is made of, but what parameters the fishing line has. And based on them, he chooses a specific option that is suitable for a particular fish, fishing method, time and place. And the first parameter is its diameter. Here, preference is given to more subtle, that is, less noticeable fishing lines. Its strength also plays an important role. And it is not always proportional to the diameter, since there are many producers of woods now. With the same lateral size, they can withstand various loads. That is, here we need the best option: the fishing line of the smallest possible diameter with sufficient strength for this fishing.
The next parameter that fishing line has is its extensibility. And there are two kinds. Some fishing lines can stretch under load, lengthen and spring, while others are absolutely inextensible. Both are used in certain conditions. So, on a stretch line it is better to fish with weak lips (white, perch). It additionally extinguishes jerks due to its quality. And when maximum contact with tackle is needed, sensitivity is required when the bait touches underwater obstacles or the bottom, bite is fixed, then the best fishing line is inextensible, that is, not prone to linear deformations. It can be a cord, braid or some kind of modern monolesk.
Next comes the transparency of the fishing line, on which its invisibility to fish directly depends. Well, everything is clear here - the more transparent it is, the better. And today, in this aspect, the best material for her is flucarbonate. But for the main forest, you can take only its thin form, since the thick is very hard. It is also very expensive material. Therefore, fishing fluquarbonate fishing line is often used, the price of which is too high, but the one that is only covered by it. It also happens that only a leash is made of fluor, and the main forest is set as usual.
Transparent fishing line is considered universal. But there are times when you need to use a variant of a certain color. This is done for various reasons and most often for reasons of disguise. So, for clear water, transparent colorless fishing line is most suitable. And if there is a sandy bottom in the pond, then they take yellow, for brown peat or clay underwater soil it is suitable. And if in the lake, for example, there are a lot of algae, then the fishing line will be just right. For fishing on a spinning take black, light green and bright yellow options. They have little effect on the frequency of bites, but on them you can track the movement of the bait at the bottom of the reservoir.
Still fishing line is soft and hard. The first is convenient in many cases, especially when fishing for peaceful fish. She is less concerned about biting prey. But if you need to control the bait, it is better to take a cord or a rigid monofilament. Still, choosing a fishing line, one should take into account its resistance to mechanical damage and abrasion. This is especially true in places where there are many water obstacles, such as shells or snags. With constant contact with them, the fishing line loses its strength and fails. Therefore, now, to increase the strength of the material, special coatings are used from polymers, for example, such as Teflon.
