    *I was pleased with Trilene mono line **enjoyable.fishing** recommend performance (25 lb. test) because it offers smooth casting with no tangles/bird's nest in the spool. And, knots can be tied effectively with ease. I would recommend.*

    I've been saying this for YEARS. Bass don't give a shit about your line, or anything else attached to it. They see your lure, and if they feel like eating it they'll eat it. Take a good look at a A-Rig. All that wire and shit. Nope. Line doesn't matter to fish.

    I am fairly sure you are correct. Due to circumstance and bringing the wrong set ups I had to adapt last year on a fishing trip with my friend. We were shore fishing a weedy lake. So I cut off what I had intended on using and tied on a weightless 6 inch senko. On 40 pound braid, White in color. Straight braid. The water is very clear there. I caught my biggest bass of the year. Over 5 pounds and here in Ohio that is a pretty decent bass. At least for me. I'm sure seeing the line might spook them a little sometimes but I don't think it happens nearly as often as we might think. I started using straight braid more often after that. I do use braid to leader but if the water is tinted some I try straight braid first.

    as weird as it sounds, I have always used 20-30lb spider wire braid in stealth. Never have a problem and i never lose lures. Its always been my preference.
    The lake I wish has snags and rocks everywhere, just works for me. For my budget, never losing lures makes everything worth it, and I cant say I have noticed any problems.

  • @kmw5100
    @kmw5100 3 месяца назад

    I pretty much only choose my line based on what my setup is rated for and I usually shoot the gap, for example my 7'3" medium heavy casting setup gives you a guideline of 10-20lb test, so I use 14 lb test fluorocarbon because It sits nicely between those two, doesn't hinder my casting distance, and has yet to fail me for its intended use. on my 6'10" medium-light spinning setup I use 10 lb test because it's rated for 4-12 lb test, and 10 has worked out plenty well for all my applications there so far. that probably has a lot to do with the fact that the lures i'm using on those given setups work well with those line sizes, but I just try not to overcomplicate things, really.

    Awesome video, I’m a very advanced saltwater fisherman, and just recently moved into a community with some large lakes in it, so I’m now trying the freshwater thing, the lakes have some variety of species, it has tons of bass, clown knife fish, and also snook, so I was trying to keep the leader light, but if I hook a decent snook there gill plate will cut you off, so I was wondering if it was ok to throw 20 to 25lb leader, just didn’t know if bass would shy away, thanks for the great explanation on line types for the sweet water.

    @williamwheaton8614 3 года назад

    I 100% agree with you B-Lat! If you don’t think they don’t see the hook the line the weight then they are are terribly misunderstood. Line size should only be considered for bait presentation purposes! I use 15-17lb fluorocarbon on most of my setups, I adjust depending what I’m fishing around for abrasive purposes! My crank bait setups both deep, shallow, and squarebills, are all 12lb fluorocarbon because it makes it easier to cast distance wise, and it allows the crankbaits to achieve the best diving depth on longer cast. I use braid to Fluoro leader on my spinning setup. But line size visibility is not a thing. Great video again B! Keep me coming!

    Line size is important in clear water, especially cold clear water. Dropping your line size and hook gives your bait more action and presents the bait more naturally. It makes the biggest difference on how many fish and big fish you catch. Just like longer casts help. B-Lad what kind of blade is on your chatter bait? Very interesting..

    Size of line affects action. Actions dictates bites. It also dictates where it runs in the water column. Smaller line in cranks will let the crank run deeper. It will make it more efficient to keep your spinners or chatters in the water depth that you wants

    In Europe in international team events a lot of anglers could not believe that the English team particularly anglers like Will Raison and Steve Gardener fished with line diameters of 0.18 and 0.20 mm when most other teams were using 0.10 and 0.12 mm. They were fishing for big barbel, carp and bream in flowing water so Will & Steve would often say to me that they would rather not hook a fish than hook it and lose it because the line was too thin! They had the confidence to know that fish will bite when using thicker line and it will give you the best chance of landing that fish.

  • @Gstar5150
    @Gstar5150 Год назад

    It may not matter as much in stained water, but if your fishing a clear lake you definitely want a lighter clear fluorocarbon line. There's studies that say red and chartreuse lines are almost as invisible if not the same as clear fluoro in deeper stained water. Especially chartreuse because when that fish looks up at that illuminated green water the chartreuse line will blend in almost completely. One of the few scenarios where something is less visible with more light present, there's a lot of science that goes into choosing lb test and line color. But for when the sun goes down in stained water that Red Cajun line is really good.

    Fish aren't that smart. They will however become habitualized. I have an aquarium, as soon as I tap the lid, the fish know that signals feeding time. So if a fish gets nailed on a senko a few times, they're going to associate the senko with getting nailed. Same with line, if they see line then get nailed, I can see how they'd associate that with getting nailed. I think there is something to using presentations fish have never been caught on before, and using line they can't see.
