Fishing LineWe offer the finest fishing lines available from the worlds leading fishing line manufacturers. Choose from monofilament lines, fluorocarbon lines, braided lines, Dacron lines, wire lines and various leader materials. | Braided Fishing Line
Braided fishing line is made be weaving fibers of a man-made material like Spectra or micro-dyneema into a strand of line. Braided fishing line is one of the strongest types of fishing line relative to its diameter. Because of braided fishing lines' small diameter there is little drag on the line due to tidal flow and has become a favorite among fishermen who live line or three-way live bait fish. Braided fishing line is resistant to abrasion and appears opaque in the water for this reason we recommend attaching a fluorocarbon leader to the line.

Fluorocarbon Fishing Line
Fluorocarbon Fishing Line is made of carbon base polymers material (Fluorocarbon) to form a line that is almost invisible underwater. Because Fluorocarbon has nearly an identical refractive index of water the line simply disappears when presented to fish in water. Fluorocarbon is inert and will not breakdown or stretch in water or sunlight like nylon fishing line. Fluorocarbon’s density makes it very abrasion-resistant, making it a popular leader material for large sport fishermen. Fluorocarbon clearly offers advantages in sunny conditions, where the water is clear and the fish are heavily pressured -- low visibility and greater presentation.

Monofilament Fishing Line
Monofilament fishing line is made by melting and mixing polymers and then extruding the molten plastic through a die with tiny holes, forming strands of line, which is then spun into spools of various thicknesses. The extrusion process controls not only the thickness of the line but also the pound test of the line. It is a relatively inexpensive process that results in a less costly fishing line. Because monofilament fishing line can absorbe water caution should be taken when fishing with monofilament in saltwater. Unlike Fluorcarbon materials, Monifilament can degrade with exposure to sunlight and degrades over time. It's important to remember that the cheaper brands of monifilamnent line are not subjected to the standards that top name brands we carry.
