Overview
Line Types: The video discusses three main types of fishing lines: braid, monofilament, and fluorocarbon.
Braided Line: It has no stretch, high sensitivity, and is very strong, making it ideal for heavy cover fishing. It floats, has no memory, and is durable but visible in the water.
Monofilament Line: It stretches a lot, which can be beneficial for reaction baits and topwater lures but less sensitive for detecting bites. It floats and has some memory, requiring less frequent replacement compared to fluorocarbon.
Fluorocarbon Line: It is clear and has low stretch, offering high sensitivity and a good hookup ratio. However, it has high memory, can cause backlashes, and sinks, making it less suitable for topwater lures.
Combining Lines: A common strategy is to use braid as the main line for sensitivity and strength, with a fluorocarbon or monofilament leader to improve presentation and hook-up ratio, depending on the fishing conditions.
