Today I break down the different types of fishing line and what bass fishing techniques I use them for. I also discuss the disadvantages and advantages or each. Including mono, fluorocarbon, and braided line.

So i just bought a new kickin their bass x lews spinning combo and im not sure what pound braid to put on im probably going to use all types of bait for bass like finesse baits ,moving baits, and topwater. I was thinking of getting 30lb braid but im not sure
40 lb for a baicaster? I was just looking to buy one and was wondering what to get and everyone else was saying less than 10
What is the name of that net that you’re using?
Bass fishing is a piece of cake because we live in florida. People in other states really have a hard time catching bass and can really use your advice
I know this video is a bit old. Started seriously fishing every day 2 months ago. I live on Lewisville Lake in North Texas, so, it was an easy hobby to pickup. Snatched up a good 7ft medium-heavy rod and a Daiwa Fuego 3000 LT.
Your videos have helped me out a lot. But I have a question here. I've been running 16Lbs braid to 14Lbs mono. It was just what the guy at the store recommended and I just didn't know enough about line to make a choice on my own.
So, sounds like I'm swapping to 20Lbs braid after seeing this, and switching my leaders to Flouro. My question is, what weight (or range of weight) Flouro do you typically run for leaders?
I'm fishing mostly soft plastics with 3/16th OZ. weights on a simple Texas rig.
Great video, and love this intro, bring back this intro!!
On spinning reel 20 lb braid. What s lb test fluorocarbon leader use.
Braid line is a dream but, one u tangle or get hookup on other lines or trees or your own lures it's a massive tangle mess.
I got a medium rod spinning reel 2500 what pound line should I put for the reel and the leader for bass
Is braid like fluorocarbon but just floats and good for vegetation?
Good short and info filled video helps out a lot and you explain everything
Just subscribed. Thank you for the tips. Do you think braided line is a good line to use when just getting into fishing. I catch snags a lot and don’t have a boat so I am mostly doing shoreline fishing.
You use a lot of jargon I am not familiar with, but I love your videos.
Really enjoyed your video
Can’t wait to hit the lake with my husband
Thanks
Is mono an okay leader? Sounds like a crazy question but I have a ton of 12lbs mono and don’t want to buy any flouro if I don’t have to. Might I add I’m using it with a FG knot.
Can I fish a Texas rig on mono ?
I have been looking for this answer! Thank you sir. GO DAWS
I’ve been using the same line for years… like 5-10 years.
Where are the product links you talked about?
Please answer this you said 40+ lb braid now my heavy 7”4 black omen by 13 fishing is only rated to 25 lb it says like most heavy rods are do you go over that or is there another rod I’m missing here because all the pros are saying heavy rod 40+ lb braid so my question is is overloading the rating for the rod normal and okay ???
Cant find any of the links you spoke about being here. Not sure why but they just arent there. Loved the video though. Your the best
This intro was TOUGH
I litterally use super sniper 12 pound test for everything but for my drop shot rod I use 7 or 8 pound, I really like the super sniper stuff tho
Hey man great video, really cleared up a lot of questions for me. I was wondering why you would use a 20 pound test on a spinning reel. From as far as I know (which isn't a lot) I was told spinning reels should only hold up to 12 pounds max. Is this false? I'd love to get a reaction. :))
I'm that guy that couldn't catch a fish for the rest of his life. You lost me.
What about Hybrid fishing line? I’m told it’s braid that’s been heat treated or something.
Nice and short video! Great information too!
I know this is an older video but the question relates to this topic. I have two rods that I need to get restrung. One bait caster and one spinning, both with old warn out mono on them right now. I've narrowed down that I would like to put mono on one and braid on the other but aren't sure which should go on which rod. Currently I'm getting a lot of backlash on the bait caster so I'm leaning towards braid on that one. Do you have any advice for me?
What kind of net is that??
did he misspeak? 40# test on bait casters? really?
do you match line weight to rod weight. throwing 40# braid on everything does not match any rod
i use zebco omniflex from walmart when i fish…not because i'm on a budget but because i'm cheap…it's always worked for me…i give it the old pull test and if it breaks i replace it if not i fish with it…tried braid and hated it….
Is there any reason to spool florocarbon when you can just spool braid and put on a floro leader?
Will someone please explain to me the difference in depths and size of line. Higher pound test goes deeper or not? I’ve heard different things from different people. And why? Is it because of water pressure? I’ve heard stronger line is bigger and doesn’t go as deep because of pressure I guess pushing It up. I’ve also had people tell me bigger stronger line is heavier and goes deeper due to weight. Can someone please set me the heck straight? Thanks in advance.
Fireline Braid 4 Life!
Teach me how to fish I'm in georgia
What lb floral carbon do you recommend or a baitcaster for a 7’4” heavy
What’s the difference in casting distance when you use a heavier or lighter line? Ex: using 12 pound braided on a spinning reel vs 20?
I only have spinning reels haven't yet got the handle on baitcasters. I have two spinner one if 6 9 MH and the other is 6 6 M am looking to add another 6 6 MH. What lines set would you recommend for texas rig spinner and chatter bait
Will mono start to sink after it absorbs to much water?
Good video as always, you forgot to mention braid's ability not to have line memory. I put most of braid on a scale and have found break strength at 175% of stated strength (i.E. 10lb = 17lb). I have braid that is still good after 5 years. I do always run floro leader with the braid
Any videos on the TOKYO Rig? Thanks
I caught my first bass today. From what I hear, it's in my DNA (grandpa), but I have to give you some major credit for the shortcuts. Thank you so much sir.
Gene, love your videos and have learned so much. I'm sitting here Saturday morning with my 4 year old daughter in my lap watching with me and a few minutes in goes, "Dad, he's not catching anything…" Kids crack me up. Thanks for all your knowledge and help!
I'm with ya braid on all the spinning reels. Great info.
Great vid man. Always stoked to see when your vids pop up on my notifications. Super informative content and man i dig that.
This is first time I'm going to disagree with you. I would never encourage anyone to use mono especially for beginners. You simply cannot feel the fish bite or learn how it feels when they do.
Been using Stren Forever but been looking at the braid maybe next year when I get to some of the bigger deeper lakes I want to fish just still trying not to get backlash on the baitcasters now and I just got my first Shirt of the Month of course its a Flukemaster one cool
Hey that baitcaster set up in the intro looks familiar; )
I find if I get snagged while using braid, I can easily bend the hook and get my rig back.
