Line and Leader

Choosing the right fishing line and leader is essential to success. Monofilament lines are the most popular choice for most fishing applications, offering flexibility, strength, and great castability. For clear waters, fluorocarbon lines are ideal for their invisibility and low stretch properties. Braided lines are also popular for their high strength, small diameter, and abrasion resistance.

Leaders are necessary for providing a connection between the line and the lure or bait. They provide an extra layer of protection from the sharp teeth of fish, and come in a variety of materials, such as monofilament, fluorocarbon, and wire. Ultimately, the type of line and leader you choose should depend on the type of fishing you’re doing and the conditions you’re fishing in. With the right gear, you’ll be sure to enjoy a more successful day on the water.
