Fishing line

[MrJim]

Think about using braided line. Look at the power pro in 5lb. It's extremely thin for long casts and is also very sensitive because there is zero stretch. The only thing is that you will need to learn a good knot to attach a fluorocarbon leader. A Double Uni works, but it's a bad idea to cast it throught eyelets because it will weaken from hitting them. I use an FG (Fine Grip) knot. It does not weaken and is actually the strogest know tested for this use. There's a little more to tying it than the Uni, but it's worth it.

You can also use a heavier braid and still have a very small diameter. I think 12lb braid is about the same as 4lb mono. Go from fishing for bream and trout with a 4lb leader to large mouth with a 10 or 12lb leader in just a couple of minutes.

No real need for braid. No such thing as a long cast with all the trees around this pond. He told me there were some big bass in it but biggest Ive hooked maybe went 1.5 lbs. Small bass and bluegill is all I catch but its a blast to feel the tug.

And with a ultralight they all feel loke monsters.

When they came out with Fluorocarbon line years ago, I love it. No memory and no stretch. Setting a hook with out stretch, is a big plus and it takes a beating..

Then i hook it to the mailbox and walk down the street and strech it out adjust the drag and reel a little and stretch,reel a little and strech. Been doing this for 30yrs. No problems

I do the same thing!!

P Line, best you can get

I’m a big P-Line fan. Love braid as well. Just depends on what and where I am fishing
