Top 20 fishing lines for fishing

How to choose a fishing line for spinning

Contrary to the general belief that spinning is the most important and main element of productive fishing equipment, this procedure would not have any meaning without a fishing line. Therefore, as in the case with rods, the choice of fishing line must also be approached thoroughly. What is worth paying attention to?

1. The diameter of the line. The parameter that affects the characteristics of casting, the visibility of the thread in the water and its amount on the spool spool. It is selected on the basis of its own preferences and purpose (usually by trial and error).
2. Breaking strength. A criterion that shows which loads the fishing line is capable of carrying without tearing. As a rule, before entering the market all polymer threads undergo a series of laboratory tests. Do not sincerely believe the figures obtained during such tests, because they show the capabilities of the sample under ideal conditions. In real fishing, a number of factors affect the ability of a fishing line to withstand loads, including the angle of spinning retention, composition and water temperature, as well as various features of the landscape (sharp rocky rocks, shell rock, etc.). Always consider this before purchasing.
3. Unwinding value. The choice of this criterion is associated with many nuances, up to the preferred location (size and depth of water bodies) and the type of fishing (jig, twitching, etc.). The range of products in fishing stores is covered with fishing lines with a length of 50 to 300 meters. But the most "popular" option was and remains the samples with the unwinding of 100-150 meters, so it is better to give priority to them.
4. Rigidity. Criterion characteristic of the degree of strength of the fishing line. The soft polymer thread does not cause alertness in river dwellers, but has the ability to stretch, get confused with hooks and grow old, which at a critical moment can lead to an unexpected breakage right at the moment of fishing. Rigid fishing line is applicable for fishing on weighty wobblers and other "brisk" bait, but also not without flaws. It is much harder to get off the coil, has a weak shock absorption, breaks when folded and does not give in to knit strong knots.
5. Transparency. A parameter that strongly influences the efficiency of fishing. When choosing a fishing line, give preference to colorless or "rainbow" patterns that change color when submerged in the water column. It is very important that the polymer thread does not stand out too much against the background of water (ideally, it should completely merge with the bottom).

The best monofilament lines

Daiwa Ginro Silver Beast Nanodis

Rating 4.9

Daiwa Ginro Silver Beast Nanodis can be considered the leader in terms of price-quality component. Daiwa loves to experiment with various aspects of the inventory, but this series was presented as a focused, not abstract creation, designed to improve catch rates in the summer season.

Monofilament fishing line is characterized by a very large breaking load (up to 5.4 kilograms), which is achieved through accurate calibration of the diameter along the entire length. Keeps the knot well and, as the manufacturers assure, has practically no memory effect. The latter, however, was refuted by the fishermen themselves - there are no total bends on the monofile, but he remembers the outlines of the adopted form well. The main types of lures, ideally combined with the Ginro Silver Beast Nanodis, are wobblers (to a lesser extent), tails and spinners.

 

Salmo Tournament Team

Rating 4.8

The high-quality monophile Salmo Tournament Team does not fall into the category of top fishing lines for winter fishing enthusiasts, but copes with its direct responsibilities perfectly. Its diameter inside the series varies from 0.102 to 0.223 millimeters, and the size (with small deviations within the tolerance range) is maintained along the entire length, which sometimes the above-mentioned “tops” sin. Unwinding the fishing line on the domestic market is rather scarce - the most common are 50-meter options, much less often 75-ki. However, this fact does not spoil the overall impression of the process of fishing.

The main feature of the Salmo Tournament Team is the presence of a special tread layer that reliably protects the monofilament from abrasive wear and does not have a memory effect. But the advantages are not limited to this: according to users, the fishing line has water-repellent qualities and is able to maintain elasticity even at -20 degrees Celsius.

Top Fluorocarbon Fishing Lines

Sufix Castable 100% Fluorocarbon Clear 150 m

Rating 4.9

The popularly recognized company Sufix pleased fishing enthusiasts with a hardy fluorocarbon series, suitable both for knitting leads and for use as a main fishing line. Objectively, Castable 100% Fluorocarbon Clear is the most universal thread among all listed in this category, for which there are a number of reasons. First, it is necessary to single out the increased resistance of the material to hydroabrasive, to the action of UV rays and to the cutting effects of the sharp teeth of predators. Secondly, the stretching of the fluorocarbon is an order of magnitude lower than that of the standard monophile. Thanks to this set of qualities, this thread is ideal for twitching (because it prevents the lures from firing) and glittering, allowing you to feel the bait throughout the posting process.

The issue of price in the case of Sufix Castable 100% Fluorocarbon Clear is not even considered: the monofil more than compensates for the costs with efficiency and durability, which is very pleasant for fishing enthusiasts.

 

Megabass Dragoncall Black Jungle

Rating 4.8

The remarkable thread of this series in retail sales due to the fact of an unusual color. Megabass Dragoncall Black Jungle is a unique black fluorocarbon used mainly for carp fishing as the main line. Despite the high degree of stiffness, it shows satisfactory results in terms of elasticity and flexibility, due to which it perfectly holds knots and does not break on the folds. It appears on the market in three versions: a hundred-meter unwinding of 0.235 and 0.285 in cross section and a 0.400-mm “heavyweight” 80 meters long, capable of withstanding up to nine kilograms of constant load.

Dragoncall Black Jungle is not too fond of catching in shallow water and in the upper strata of water bodies, because it causes suspicion in fish. His element - this is a significant depth, on which the thread almost completely merges with the bottom surface. Due to its resistance to abrasive wear, the life of a “Dzhangl” can reach 3-5 seasons even with periodic heavy loads and a gradual accumulation of fatigue.

 

Salmo Fluorocarbon Troutino Soft 150m

Rating 4.7

Salmo did not stand aside, offering consumers expected “strong” fluorocarbon at an attractive price. Troutino Soft has established itself as a reliable leash material capable of withstanding significant short-term loads. The dynamic tensile strength of the filament of the largest section (0.28 mm) is 5.5 kilograms, which in itself is not so much. However, the stock of "critical" strength makes it possible to withstand peak loads of the order of 9-10 kilograms, for which this thread is valued as a leash.

Another characteristic feature of Troutino Soft is increased softness and, as a result, some tendency to stretch. But on the other hand, with such introductory, it holds the knot well and allows you to achieve the very effect of peak efforts on breaking.

 

Berkley Trilene 100% fluorocarbon

Rating 4.6

The fluorocarbon yarn Berkley Trilene was able to step over the strict limitations of its class, and still go from the leash material to the discharge of the main fishing line. Nevertheless, this step becomes justified only in one case: when in the user's perspective a hunt for trophy fish is planned. Thus, a sample with a diameter of 0.38 at an unwinding of 150 meters can withstand up to 12 kilograms of breaking load. In other cases (especially for small sections), Berkley Trilene is best used as the aforementioned leads.

As for the characteristics, all the representatives of the series are distinguished by the minimum possible tensile properties and, consequently, a high degree of sensitivity. Without a protective coating, the polymer thread resists abrasive particles well, so its service life can vary up to five full seasons. In general, optimal in terms of characteristics, it doesn’t get much in popularity at all, but definitely deserves its place among the best.

 

The best fishing line for feeder

Colmic Blade Sinking 150m 0,230mm

Rating 5.0

The fishing line, which caused a lot of noise in the circles of experienced anglers, actively promoted by the manufacturer as a tackle for feeder and float fishing.The dubious mechanical characteristics of the fishing line, so improperly guaranteed when entering the market, became the reason for the resonance of the fishing community. But first, the good: Colmic Blade Sinking has the highest breaking load of 7.5 kilograms. This is enough for fishing from the depth of a near-trophy fish - mainly carp and other "peace-loving" fish (although predators also fall for specific bait).

The main drawback of the fishing line was the actual presence of the memory effect, which manifests itself not immediately, but gradually. At first, the “beard” can catch the angler, even with the slightest pull, not to mention any serious errors when throwing. And let this effect disappear after a two-week (on average) otlezhivaniya fishing line on the spool, at first it is almost impossible to use it ... except when fishing on the above-mentioned float.

 

Kosadaka Cinergy 110m 0,25mm

Rating 4.9

An advanced representative of fishing lines for the feeder, developed using the unique Fusion Max Power Dyneema technology. This step has significantly increased the load capacity of the model (6.48 kilograms) with a relatively small cross section (only 0.25 millimeters), but the obvious positive properties are not limited to this. Innovation in terms of production naturally reflected on the accuracy of the fishing line, which acquired an ideal (within the tolerance fields) thickness throughout the 110-meter unwinding.

The increased smoothness of the surface of Kosadaka Cinergy, in turn, had a positive effect on reducing the frictional wear of the monofil thread. But with the protection from ultraviolet rays, the situation is somewhat different. At first, the destructive effect of invisible radiation will be leveled, but over time this aspect will act more and more intensively, bringing the fishing line to recycling. However, not a single applicant is insured against the final stage of the life cycle, all the more so since Cinergy will be able to serve several full-fledged seasons before the release.

 

Cralusso Feeder & Carp Fishing Line 150m 0,22mm

Rating 4.8

High-strength monofilnaya fishing line for special purpose fishing, intended for feeder and carp fishing. It has a special fluorine-containing coating that prevents the aggressive impact of abrasive particles on the main material of the thread. With a cross section of 0.22 mm, it can withstand a constant load of up to four kilograms, which makes it quite comfortable to work with a large fish of the carp family.

In addition to abrasive protection, the Cralusso Feeder & Carp Fishing Line coating provides reliable protection from ultraviolet rays, thereby preventing, in general, the inevitable stretching and thinning of the thread. Mechanical memory is minimal, but slightly manifested in the process of continuous operation. The color of the fishing line is dark green, which allows it to merge with the bottom surface and does not attract attention either when feeding or carp fishing.

.

The best fishing line for leashes

Sufix Kameleon 20m 7kg

Rating 4.9

Another representative of Sufix, developed on the basis of Dyneema plexus. It differs by its versatility in terms of application, but it cannot boast of large values ​​of withstanding loads in dynamics (only seven kilograms).Most often used for feeders, glitter and carp hunting, a little less - for classical jig and twitching. He perceives efforts in knots very well, thanks to which he enjoys the glory of one of the most reliable leashes in the fishing market.

Also in the asset "Chameleon" you can add a combination of neutral buoyancy and camouflage green - with a different color, this plus could be leveled to a disadvantage. According to popular experts, the option with a 20-meter unwinding seems to be the most ideal - than they were not pleased with the competitive 10 meters, remains a little mystery. In general, both in terms of price and in terms of operation, Sufix Kameleon causes a minimum of complaints, for which it is rightfully ranked among the best pedestrian materials of our rating.

 

Cralusso Feeder & Carp Braided Hooklength Sinking 10m 20lb

Rating 4.8

Inexpensive powered material, which is a braided eight-core cord with increased load capacity. Sharpened to hold strong jerks when biting, which are characteristic of feeder and carp fishing. In smooth dynamics, the sustained weight is 9.1 kilograms without visible deformation of the fibers, however, everything that is beyond the boundaries inevitably leads to the appearance of micro-breaks.

Of the other qualities of Braided Hooklength Sinking, you can distinguish the tendency to quickly care to the bottom, which greatly facilitates the masking of a snap. In general, the fishermen leave very good reviews about the material, but notice the sharp limitation of unwinding only one option with ten meters.

 

The best carp fishing lines

FOX Torque Line Green

Rating 5.0

The novelty of the summer season 2016, still occupying high places due to the fact of low cost. Its load capacity can not be called a reference - with a diameter of 0.30 millimeters, it can withstand only 5 kilograms. But the indicators of the casting distance are at a high level: the reason for this is the smooth surface of the fishing line along the entire length, which reduces frictions when leaving the spool and on the rings.

The green color of FOX Torque Line causes a low visibility of the thread in the reservoirs, which is important when hunting with cautious fish. Experienced fishermen note that it is quite possible to catch large, near-trophy carp on the line, however, mainly small fish become its main “prey”.

 

CLIMAX CULT CARP LINE Z-SPORT

Rating 4.9

CLIMAX CULT CARP LINE Z-SPORT is a series honed for sporting events. This is easily monitored by the selection of sections - in the range of the ruler there are options with a diameter of only 0.25 millimeter that can withstand a load of up to 5.8 kilograms. The main difference between them from each other is only in the color parameter: users can choose from copper-brown, fluorescent yellow and orange threads. The CLIMAX CULT CARP LINE Z-SPORT core is made from elastic nylon and placed in a more resistant to various negative factors (UV radiation, stretching and abrasive wear) fluorocarbon.

In general, a selection of small cross section values ​​is intended to increase the casting distance, since such a line has less resistance and comes off the spool more quickly. In terms of cost, it is also in good standing, and therefore is an ideal candidate for getting into the top rankings.

 

Korda touchdown

Rating 4.8

Korda Touchdown - a series of carp woods, the main focus of which is placed on the maximum degree of sensitivity. A similar effect was achieved by using a hard, low-tensile material that is resistant to abrasive wear and, as a result, has optimal flight characteristics.

In general, all fishing lines included in the series are distinguished by good lifting capacity and resistance to jerk loads. The thinnest fishing line in section (0.4 mm in diameter) for fishing withstands 6.3 kilograms of nominal weight, and the thickest (only 0.03 millimeters more) - 9.1 kilograms.

According to the fishermen, all the information given by the manufacturer is true, but in terms of durability, the line is a little off to high standards. On average, one “portion” of unwinding (150 meters) is enough for a couple of full seasons. But given that the total length of the Touchdown without options is equal to 1000 meters - concern for safety can be discarded.

 

The best fishing line for pike

SHIMANO ASPIRE SILK SHOCK 150 m, 0.20 mm

Rating 5.0

A fishing line with a deliberately screaming name simply could not ignore our rating, since it is one of the most sought-after and efficient in the domestic fishing market. “Silk Shock” in a cross section of 0.20 millimeters has averaged parameters of perceived stress - up to 4.4 kilograms per break. Not the best result in the line, but definitely the most popular (as they say reviews and sales data).

The durability of ASPIRE SILK SHOCK is consistently high for Shimano. Extensibility (with all the softness of the fishing line) is minimal and provides excellent sensory. But the main feature of this model (and the series as a whole) is in specially designed packaging. Shimano Barrierpack completely closes the line on the reel, thereby preventing the premature loss of factory qualities due to the influence of negative factors. The total cost is somewhat beyond the budget, but on the whole it is justified by the combination of the qualities of a magnificent monofilament.

 

SUFIX DURAFLEX X10 CLEAR 100 m 0.25 mm

Rating 4.9

Getting into the rating of SUFIX DURAFLEX X10 CLEAR is due to a low cost factor that emphasizes, in general, the acceptable (but not standard) quality of a budget fishing line. Its performance tuning users in a positive way, however, on a closer look, it still shows minor flaws. Among the outstanding results can be attributed to the ratio of the diameter of the thread to withstand the load - 0.25 millimeters are torn when exceeding the threshold of 7 kilograms. There are flexibility and softness, not opposing the weaving of strong knots, as well as almost zero elongation, which guarantees (at a minimum) tolerable sensitivity.

The main problem of SUFIX DURAFLEX X10 CLEAR lies in the violation of the uniformity of the section on unwinding. As a result, some anglers experience unexpected breaks (at obviously lower voltages along the fishing line), which cause bewilderment and annoyance. The precedent is unpleasant, but uncritical, especially for such a price.

 

SHIMANO TECHNIUM LINE 200 m 0.18 mm

Rating 4.8

Premium fishing line with “imprint” of Japanese quality, created using the technology of three-core construction. Such an approach to production has led to a dramatic overestimation of wear resistance indicators (you need to try very hard to “kill” this line at least a couple of seasons), sensorics (transmits even halftones of effort to spinning), as well as tearing efforts. In the most popular version with a cross section of 0.18 millimeters, this is not felt (here, for a break, it is enough to attach 3.3 kilograms of load), but in large sections the trend is more clearly seen (for example, at 0.40 millimeters - 16.2 kilograms).

Despite the seeming “mightyness”, TECHNIUM LINE belongs to the category of fast-thinning threads, which characterizes it only from the positive side. Stretchable line is about 12% (according to experimental data) - this is one of the best indicators in its class. But in terms of cost, the high-tech model loses somewhat to its competitors by rating. Because of the cost, which goes beyond 1,000 rubles, it is mainly experienced anglers who acquire it - the majority prefer to use more budget and less “fancy” fishing lines.

 

The best winter fishing line for mormyshki

Salmo ice power

Rating 4.9

If other representatives of the category were completely all-season models of the fishing line, then Salmo Ice Power is a purely winter monophile for those who like to go fishing for a jig. Ideally calibrated for the entire unwinding (with an accuracy of one thousandth of a millimeter), it provides guaranteed values ​​of breaking stresses, written in reports from the manufacturer. Actually, during the run-up of diameters from 0.08 to 0.30 millimeters, the stress values ​​vary in the limit of 0.52–6.95 kilograms.

For Salmo Ice Power, there were no problems with freezing and absorption of water, which indicates a good water-repellent and tread function of the protective sheath. It is not observed for her, and so the effect of memory that was turned down to all anglers. Zero extensibility gives the fishing line maximum sensitivity, so users can clearly control the process of catching and the moment of biting. Taking into account the low price (for a 50-meter unwinding), the "Strength of Ice" is the best choice among its own kind.

 

Berkley FireLine Micro Ice Fused Original

Rating 4.8

The line of German fishing lines for fishing, suitable for any fishing conditions: both winter and summer. It has a high degree of quality and transparency, which allows you to catch even the most careful predator. Coupled with the minimum stretchability of Berkley FireLine Micro, the Ice Fused Original offers consumers a high sensitivity, which makes it possible to more finely control the process of posting and biting.

The breaking load of the fishing line (depending on the diameter) varies between 1.5 and 4.8 kilograms. Thus, despite the commitment to light bait, FireLine Micro Ice Fused Original allows you to catch is not a small fish. Perch and pike often become its prey, sometimes pike and ide are caught. With a relatively low price, this is one of the best deals in the segment at the moment.

 

SUFIX ICE MAGIC

Rating 4.7

High-quality monofilnaya fishing line, the best features of which appear only in the winter fishing season. Let's be frank: for summer fishing there are a lot of much higher-quality samples, so the all-season SUFIX ICE MAGIC will be left in the background.

For a more detailed analysis, it should also be noted that not so long ago this product had serious problems with strength, which barely reached the nominal limits. The reason for this is simple: the manufacturer did not control the calibration of the fishing line along the entire length, so in some cases the section was greatly underestimated. Of course, this was accompanied by frequent cliffs and crowds of outraged customers. To date, Sufix has revised the production process and finally launched the production of high-quality samples. Their nominal breaking loads range from 1 to 3.3 kilograms and are completely dependent on the nominal diameter of the thread.
