![]() Its larger diameter and major stretch works for our bass or panfish presentations such as wacky worms, etc., because they will fall much slower. Monofilament is probably the most manageable of the three varieties. Adding a fluorocarbon or monofilament leader will provide stretch so that fish don’t shake the hook. I’ve seen guys lose fish after the hookset with braids because of that lack of stretch, which allows fish to shake off. On the downside, braids have no stretch whatsoever, so they’re not always best for tying directly to jigs. Thanks to their real thin diameter, they cut through the water column and run deeper, so you’ll find braids on my trolling and long-lining setups. Fluorocarbon falls much faster than mono, so use that to your advantage! I use fluorocarbon when casting crank baits, casting wacky worms, Texas rigging, or jigging for walleyes or crappies.īraided line, or so-called superlines, float and perform well for spinning reels or on “professional grade” baitcasters. Also, don’t use it for top water lures or presentations because it sinks. First, you must wet the knot when tying it or it will fail. For all those versatile reasons, it’s becoming increasingly popular.Ī couple rules with fluorocarbon, however. ![]() It has some stretch when you set the hook, but not as much as monofilament. With fluorocarbon, you’re getting low visibility, thin diameter and good sensitivity. ![]() Which angling line when? Use all three for the proper fishing application in a given sportfishing situation.Ī common question for years at seminars has been: “Which fishing line should I use? Braided, fluorocarbon or monofilament? I use all three, and here are the times when each is appropriate.įor starters, understand that braids and monofilament float.
