10 best fishing line firms

A very short period of time separates anglers who used horsehair from those who love fishing rods, which are lost when choosing a fishing line. Today, manufacturers from different countries offer a variety of threads to equip fishing rods. In television programs and in commercials on YouTube, you can learn from the best practices of fishermen-athletes. Some of them advertise the fishing products of specific firms, while others conduct honest comparative tests. Domestic manufacturers look somewhat faded against foreign brands, although there is enough development in the field of polymer chemistry for practical use. To select the most suitable fishing line, you should consider several recommendations of experts.

1. First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of wood material. Monofilament fishing line is affordable and versatile. Pletenka won the hearts of spinnings and fideristov due to the strength and inextensibility. And fluorocarbon helps out in clear water, the fish do not see it, boldly approaching the bait.
2. An important characteristic of the fishing line is the diameter. The thinner the fiber, the greater the chance of catching a trophy. But will the angler be able to pull the fish of his dream onto a thin thread?
3. The difference in price also strikes an inexperienced angler. But if the fishing line will faithfully serve several seasons without deterioration in strength and color change, then the money spent will more than pay off.
4. Often, when equipping fishing rods, anglers combine several types of woods. For the English donkee, it usually looks like a braid as a base and a mono-taille leash. Spinningists combine a cord with a fluorocarbon, and fans of match fishing rods complement the basic monofilament with a fluorocarbon leash.
5. As for the territorial location of the best manufacturers, the Japanese are heading all sorts of charts. American brands are seriously competing with them, the Chinese are slowly but surely approaching the leaders. As a result of tough competition, new products are born.
