Fishing Line Basics | Using the Right Size Line

[@MaximillianTheCat]

Such a genuine guy. I pretty much only buy z-man product and favorite rods because of you. I hope your sponsors see this. Keep it up B-lat!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Awesome to hear man! Thank you for watching

[@boatingman11]

You do a great job on your videos. You explain things well without talking down to your followers. I would also like to mention that you put in lots of good information. I've been fishing for nearly 70 years and I learn something new on every video you put out. Thank you for sharing.

[@CamSperryAngling]

Blat low key has the best fishing Chanel on the Tube.

[@jamiebuchanan7272]

*This was my first time using Braided line and I was happy with the product **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's held up well and I have no complaints. Would buy again.*

[@lesamess5685]

You have been so helpful. Ive got my boys into fishing. But i know im doing things wrong. This helps. I cant wait to watch more of you videos.

[@iliketurtles536]

Great video! I was smiling with that little top of the head peaking over the table.

[@AthanasiusCM919]

Great video and overview. Here is my observation: Tour 8 lb = .009; 15lb = .012; 20lb = .017; Seaguar Gold Label Leader 15lb = .011; 20lb = .013; 25lb = .015; 30lb = .017; Expensive, but competition wise I'd go for it. I am completely switched to Z-man baits after your videos and trials of Elaztech stuff which is awesome! Thanks.

[@davidbergstein43]

Thanks for such a great discussion on the subject. Clear and intelligent concepts.

[@robadams234]

I’m just getting into fishing more than just a really cheap spinning rod. Just upgraded to a Lews spin combo so I really needed this video! Thank you!!

[@ryanfahey4997]

Thanks Brian, I’ve been fishing with braid and just started messing with leaders. I only have spinning equipment because that’s what I grew up using. I’m using a 4000 size Daiwa BG on a 7’0” MH rod that I originally bought for saltwater with 50lbs braid... I’ve caught a few massive bass with frogs and by Texas rigging large stick bait and sinking craws. You got me into wacky rigging and I caught a few smaller fish with that set up, but I felt that the line was too heavy for wacky rigs and other finesse techniques, so I put together a 2500 size spinning setup on a 6’6” Medium fiberglass rod with 20lbs braid and a 15lbs fluorocarbon leader, but now you’ve got me thinking that I’m fishing way too heavy. I might use the 15lbs test as a leader on the 4000 with 50lbs braid, and I can hack it off and use the braid alone if I want to fish a frog. How would you suggest I spool up the 2500?

[@willjunkin732]

Thanks for breaking it down. Recently used floro for the first time and had lots of trouble with backlash. Keep the great videos coming. 👍👍

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

It’s kinda stiff!

[@rogerheath9787]

Man you teaching me a lot thx. First boat trim now this. You the guy. You my life coach 😂

[@martinallison8719]

I think you did a great job explaining things for someone just getting started. Those really are good starting points.

[@rebeccachambless8516]

Love the vids keep em coming.

[@bryanhammond4008]

I just want to fish with this dude. Keep em coming B-Lat

[@izzy8609]

I've been trying to find a personal best flurocarbon based on past advice and videos where you go in depth. As of right now I haven't scratched that itch but I can only go up seeing as there's so much more knowledge I've yet to learn in the fishing world. I appreciate the information b-lat.

[@telemarkmann6870]

B-Lat, Great video. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy to understand. Nice you featured fluo vs braid. There are a lot of people who do not use braid but you would never know that by most video’s. As a finesse fisher the 8 and 15# test are in my wheelhouse. Love the tip about filling your spool. Brooks wanted to give a tip also.

[@fredhampton1786]

Another great video Brian. Thank you. Ive asked muself that question every time I'm in the bait and tackle store.

[@daltybell]

I appreciate the education on this. You've helped me a LOT!! Thank you sir!!

[@freshlysaltedfishing8500]

This is the best hidden gem.

[@jessemedinajr1485]

I really appreciate your insight Brother B-Lat it will definitely be helping me. Thanks keep it coming we appreciate your insight. 😎👍🏼🎣

[@williebell1768]

Great video... a lot of helpful info.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Glad it helps

[@krazykarlton21]

I needed this! awesome explanation.

[@SCR5221]

This was a great, useful video. Thanks!

[@antoniosmith8087]

Thank you B Lat, I needed that info.

[@kalebmiller1235]

I love watching your videos keep it up

[@johnathansawyer8736]

Love the vid! Thanks so much! If you're looking for a different idea for a video, I'd love to see what you would stock a beginner's tackle box with. Multi species, not just bass.

[@BassGeek]

Great info on line man.

[@timothyleger4385]

Great info Sir !!👍👍😁 I'm old school, and use mono mostly, but have been venturing to braid !! Might have to try some fluro !!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

I do to

[@gregphelps1989]

Great information man 👍

[@panspermiahunter7597]

I give you a like for the little guy walking about haha, advice was good too

[@djdye115]

Thank you!

[@twotall4242]

Great video!

[@ericperkins2060]

Thank you for this video B.Lat!!! I just bought my first bait caster and I’m trying to figure out how to cast it without getting a birds nest.. I have a 10lbs test on it so I may need to bump it up to 15lbs test..

[@keithsiegel5769]

Just a tip. I have found that you get much less backlash with braided line since it does not have memory.

[@shawnbeck2303]

B- Lat. Who was your Mentor for Bass fishing. You have world knowledge for your age. Maybe your self taught. I like your videos very much. Just watched video on Chatter baits. Still haven't caught one this season on one. Been topwater fishing alot this summer. Whopper Ploppers and Buzzbaits. Can't catch any on Poppin 'R's either. Rattle traps were my Father's fine bass bait. I like the baby Rattle Traps too. You just speak my fishing language. I have been watching and learning about bass baits during Covid 19. Those pictures and videos of fishing with your sons was awesome! Just plain ole' down home video's on fishing! Thanks to you B-Lat. Shawn.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Never had one

[@cutt4424]

great video bro your a great teacher

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Thanks my man

[@19ADAM80]

Man, be glad when you get the brown hat back in stock bud.., like to have one with your signature on it..👍🏼

[@dunnriteoutdoors1925]

You are a beast man, keep it up!

[@henryolson3390]

Fire vid 💥🤙🏻

[@vinnycaruso1166]

You didn’t even watch it yet😂

[@w_dub_wilberforcejr]

Im just starting out and you have such valuable info. Tnx for the vids. instead of the 20LB can you just use a braded line?

[@Shotbyry]

Can you make a video on getting started in tournaments? I don’t really know how.

[@NoahC76]

Do you keep your Plano edge terminal box stock or move the small boxes included around?

[@Alpineedgeoutdoors]

What camera are you using buddy?

[@anthonyseymore1217]

Hi Brian I have 3 aub 55c and 3 65c what would you recommend for mono for river for red fish and drum fish

[@chrisfinley9189]

Hey Brian, I live in new Mexico there's no lakes or ponds around so I have to fish the ditches. They are narrow and high current with lots of snag spots. I'm having trouble catching bass. You think you could do a video with some tips for bass fishing in those conditions? That would be great! Either way thanks for all the awsome content! Much love bro 👊

[@leonwoodard3319]

dude ,,well done thank you .

[@hunterbull7804]

I got 65 lb Super Slick on my frog rod, 50 lb Super Slick to 14 lb Sufix Advance Fluro leader on my worm rod, and 50 lb 832 to 12 lb Sufix Advance monofilament on my top water.

[@stevekowal6106]

Awsome video as usual,get info, i just go into using Florocarbon, for cranking. I have always used mono, before but im really starting to like floro. Love the videos B- Lat.

[@anthonysylvia4415]

What are your thoughts on straight 8lb flouro on spinning reel vs the braid-to-flouro setup?

[@BLAH69ization]

Hey man I’m a local fisher in Anderson. I’m just starting out for the last few months and I’m trying to figure out lake Hartwell. I know it’s a long shot but do you have any tips or pointers you could throw my way?

[@mrmajix373]

How often do you change your leaders when using braid to fluoro? I hate having to tie them on the lake but after a couple hours of casting I always start imagining the knot is wearing out on the rod eyes.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Usually when it breaks

[@jaydenpfeuffer1893]

Great vid

[@aaronstanley6914]

Thanks dude

[@alsalernojr2536]

This video is needed and appreciated. I would love it if you did an advanced version matching baits to line. Appreciate you so much Brian. Thanks for the videos.

[@russelll.8361]

Does Lews have an equivalent reel to the Shimano Aldebaran?

[@HBeretta]

you've thrown tatsu...invisx...and i'm assuming everything out there....sunline sniper and assassin etc... how does this this strike king tour grade stack up to let's say tatsu, excluding pitching and flipping with regard to casting distance and overall performance?

[@blakesoutdoorfilms6979]

Fire🔥

[@lil_bootbassin5607]

Bro, when are you going to have a signature rod? My fishing game gets much better after watching your vids.

[@ericwm1]

You need your own show

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

You’re watching it!

[@ericwm1]

Brian Latimer HA!!!! Good point!!!

[@phillipj40]

I’m not much on commenting but You inspired me to start skipping thank you. You was able to explain it so well love the videos keep it up!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Glad it helped!!! Thanks for watching

[@86OEd]

Excellent content...

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Thanks

[@markwebb2502]

My fish skills have been better since I've been watching your videos

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Wow!!!! That’s a huge statement

[@matthewhairell1456]

How does Tour Grade compare to InvisX/Tatsu?

[@herschelgranger7506]

Why did you switch back to merc?

[@Semajayy]

Is 17lb test the perfect in between?

[@cherokeeboggs534]

Awesome tips I'm like YOU but I use 8,17,20. I've never fished 15. It's mainly 17, and 20. Should I use 15 instead of 17 for Texas rig crank baits spinner baits buzz baits. I would deeply appreciate some advice cuz that's all I use. WHAT do u think? I'm all 👂 and willing to take ne advice. Thanks and GOD BLESS to u and ur FAMILY. 🇺🇸😎😷

[@Urbananglerstv]

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥

[@familyfirstmaconga.1942]

I have 20lb on my frog reel, but for some reason I can't get distance on my cast.....

[@Bass_attack7755]

Adjust your reel tension or break settings

[@helloshklosh4111]

God Bless
