Line Test
I am new to fresh water fishing. I just purchased some rods and they specify 6 to 12 lb line. do I disregard this?
If fishing the Hudson for Stripped Bass is there a line type you recomend for fishing bunker chunks? |

And if the fish are big and the water has some color to it, you can certainly go to 25 lb test to get those big fish in no problem. I fish a lot of fluorocarbon for rockfish (stripers) because it is much more abrasion-resistant and will take abuse from the fish's teeth better than mono because it's a harder (more dense) line. Fluoro excels with things like that... bluefish teeth, etc. Hope this helps some!

As to my opinion on fluorocarbon lines in general... I think fluorocarbon is the best thing since sliced bread. I throw fluorocarbon more than any other type of fishing line, and only use mono for baits where I need buoyancy, like topwaters and spinnerbaits, and any other "specialty" presentations that require a lot of stretch or bouyancy. The first generations of fluorocarbons left a lot to be desired, but good fluoro's like BPS's XPS have come a long way, and if treated right, don't give you much problem. Fluorocarbon gives you a lot of advantages over mono... less stretch, less visible to fish, more abraision-resistant, line sinks, lasts longer, doesn't weaken overnight, and more. I'll put up with a slightly less pliable line to gain these advantages.

ok, thanks kevin. and yes it is the berkly line. wally world just started to stock it.
haven't ever tried flour, but reading all the comments on here. i am willling to give it a go. so as long as i "treat" it with the line conditioner, i should be fine, right? |

Thanks for the imput
Thanks, Just started getting back into fishing and the amount of different equipment is mind boggling after the 20 year gap.
All of my past fishing has been salt water. I am looking to do some fresh water also. the line guide was pretty informative. |

Way to go Kevin! Very informative guide!
After 9 years away from fishing, it was like waking up from a 9 year coma lol. I missed out on a lot! The line guide really helped me out. For what I use, the 8# mono I already have along with some 10-12# fluoro and I should be good to go!

Excell Spread Sheet
Kevin,
Great piece. I have made an excel spreadsheet and a data base using your guide lines. I added columns for the rods, I use regularly (8). 4 BC, 4 Spn. http://www.tackletour.com/menulines.html This site gives a review of many different lines mono,flour,braid helps narrow it down even more. Tom
