Braided Line - Monofilament - Flourocarbon leader
Types of Fishing Line.
Monofilament - Made of polymer, a single strand of fiber. Very low cost to buy. It will stretch which can be good or bad. It's good because it is forgiving; less visible in water. Bad because it's harder to set the hook with stretch. The more expensive monofilaments will be more consistent in strength, color, and diameter.
Spinning Reels - A limp, flexible monofilament line is the best. It won't be as strong and will have more stretch, but it will work best for casting and retrieval.
Bait casters - A stiffer line is best. It will be more abrasion resistant.
Braided - Made of Spectra or Dyneema fibers woven together. Very high cost to buy. Has no stretch, which may be good or bad. It's good because you can feel everything at the end of your line. However this can be bad because you can break a rod if the drag is not set correctly or rip a hook out of the fish's mouth. Though more expensive, braided lines will last much longer than monofilament lines will. It is also much more abrasion resistant. Braided lines are thinner and limper than monofilament, which allows you to cast further and cuts through the water better. One setback is that braided lines are very visible in the water, so a long leader is usually required. Wind knots are common with braided lines because it is very limp so adjusting the brake mechanism with more tension is advised until getting used to casting with it. .
Spinning Reels - Braided line is excellent for all spinning reels. A few yards of monofilament backing is required.
