Fishing Line Products and Tips
Did you know that in the early 1900s fishing line was made from a combination of silk and cotton? The line had to be unrolled, washed, and hung out to dry, and this process helped to prevent dry rotting.Line has come a long way over the many years. Some of the more efficient types available now are monofilament, fluorocarbon, monofusion, or braid. Fluorocarbon line disappears in the water, and is best used on a sunny days when there are very clear water conditions.
Here are some tips on monofilament line. Did you know there are several different styles to choose from? Monofilament line is designed for extreme conditions such as fishing in heavy cover, and around fallen trees and rocks. Be sure to choose the right type of fishing line for the conditions you are planning to fish under.
Berkley FireLine
Berkley FireLine is unlike anything you've fished before. It's stronger than monofilament. It casts farther. And it handles as well -- even better in some situations. It doesn't create birds nests by digging into your spool. And it ties easier knots, makes smoother casts, and stays hassle free in any kind of weather. And FireLine is as durable as it is versatile. It won't deteriorate over a lifetime. Ultra-light rays or sunlight won't affect it. And neither will the cold. No other line delivers this combination of easy handling, castability, super strength and sensitivity. And no tackle box should be without it.
