The type of line you use is an important factor to consider when purchasing a spinning reel for bass fishing. There are three main types of line that can be used: mono line, braid line, and fluorocarbon line. Each type of line has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to understand the differences between each type before making a purchase. Mono Line Mono line is a single-strand line made from nylon or copolymer. It is the most popular type of fishing line used by anglers due to its low cost and availability. Mono is also very strong and can be used for many different types of fishing. However, mono tends to stretch easily, which can make it difficult to detect bites from fish. It is also more visible in the water than other types of fishing lines, which can make it easier for fish to detect. Braid Line Braid line is a multi-stranded fishing line made from either nylon or polyester material. Braid line is stronger than mono which allows you to get more line on your reel at the weight limit you’re looking for. Additionally, it has less stretch, which makes it easier to detect bites. Due to the composition of braided line, your reel will need a special backing on the spool to prevent line slippage. Otherwise, you’ll need to use a few yards of monofilament first as a backing, and then attach your braid to the mono line. Fluorocarbon Line Fluorocarbon line is a single-strand line made from fluoropolymer material. It has extremely low visibility in the water compared to mono or braid. Fluorocarbon also has less stretch than mono or braid, which makes it ideal for deep water fishing as well as finesse techniques such as drop shotting or shaky heads. Fluorocarbon can be more expensive than other types of lines and can be difficult to work with due to its lack of flexibility.
