Excellent and informative video. Well, I guess that is why you are called the Informative Fisherman. I work at a local Cabelas in the Fishing Dept. Honestly, I just ran into this great line. Unfortunately, we only carry 2 of the many lines. But, once I caught on to the Fluoro Coated, this is all that I recommend and install for Beginner and more Experienced Fishermen and Women alike. I read quite a few reviews and other than the odd complainer, which you will find anywhere, I have not read one bad thing about it. Every time we stock the wall, I am usually out in a couple of days. I actually got a bit of a Dressing Down for not pushing Braid. I asked that the next shipment, they bring in lots, which they did. Now I am sitting pretty for a while. I would like to see some of that Braid. So I can compare it to a couple of other brands, and the one that I do use. I trust you that it will come out well just the same. Obviously Leader Material for making Toothy Fish Leaders, Leaders for the end of your Braid and decent line for Rigs and Drops Shots. Sounds to me like P-Line has everything covered. One of the other Outfitters also uses the Coated on his reels when he doesn't require Braid. I do get to make a few recommends regarding equipment, Tackle and such, so will do some checking to see if we can't bring in some P Line Braid also. With the last shipment, I had enuff on hand that I could buy a few boxes for myself. So, I got 2 of the 10 and 1 of the 8 lb. We got so much that I lined the wall and put a bit in Back Stock for when I run out.

Good info! This type of knowledge never gets old or goes bad💯💯💯

[@bajaironrider]

probably the best video about line i have seen. thanks to both of you guys for the great info in this video !!!!!!

[@MrWheelchairPreacher]

Great information. I was going to message you over on FB and then figured you had a show on P-Line on here. I think I'm going to go with the CX-Premium for my dropshot/trout spinning setup. Thanks, Nick! Jimmy

[@InformativeFisherman]

That's the one Jimmy!

[@Jubi316]

I mastered the P-line when I was a little kid , in the winter when we got snow I always made a good P-line !

[@InformativeFisherman]

Your welcome Arnold! Thanks for taking the time to write that!

[@arnoldmanuel7683]

Anytime dude! Thanks for educating us viewers on everything fishing! Keep those informative videos coming!

[@arnoldmanuel7683]

Thanks to this video, I will be supporting P-Line on all my reels! Maybe even get sponsored? *hint* lol!! I've been stocking up on different brands based on ratings and comments from other anglers. This video breaks it down and I have a better understanding about the different types of fishing line out in the market! Thanks for this vid because it was a big trial and error game when it came to line but this makes it super clear!! Thanks for this dude!

[@josephhale9198]

P Line is the Best! Been fishing since 1981 and P Line is the Best !! Great for ultra lite to bait casters!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Your welcome, thanks for watching!

[@christinedanforth6630]

wanted to know have a pretty decent baitcaster and I wanted to know what would be the best P-Line for it.love your videos.try to make more bass fishing videos.AWSOME video!

[@InformativeFisherman]

I would pick up some 12lb CXX it's really strong and a good all around choice.

[@MemphisMojo15s]

"For me.." Microfilament braid over Dyneema any day of the week. Dyneema is just like dental floss. It's thin and strong but it hangs on itself. Terrible for baitcasters. My opinion only. Thanks for taking the time to show us all of these different lines. I use PLine more than any other line. Why does my Clear Fluorescent CX Premium Line have a blue tint? I had a viewer watching one of my videos and they told me it was mono. I begged to differ because, well it was mine and I knew what I had spooled it with. In the light it looks hazy light blue. Your response will be appreciated.

[@FDSeoul]

Minus the audio glitch, one of the best line explanation for guys who are just trying to understand line basics and application. Nice Job.

[@sykztnt]

Great video!!! Learned a lot about different line types. Thanks

[@GUYANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

I use the xx strength pline 2lb to fish for cichlids in south America works great caught over 200 fish u using it

[@krustysurfer]

So which version of p line should I be using for BFS ? (bait finesse system) I will be throwing one gram lures on baitcasting reels so yes I would love the added strength but I need a line that is manageable and casts well runs through the guides smoothly without hanging up to keep from bird nesting every little bit helps thank you for the advice

[@letun3481]

I love P-line Fluorocarbon!

[@CatchingtheCraze]

Good Video Nick, I do have one question however and am curious what advice you have. I've tried P-Line several time on a bait casting reel but have only resulted in back lash after back lash after back lash. Im not a pro caster but Im certainly no chump, what brand of P-Line would you recommend for cleansing this problem?

[@InformativeFisherman]

Not sure Andres, looking into it.

[@WJ6FRadio]

Outstanding video! I have been looking for a video that explains the different lines! What are you thoughts on PLINE Tactical and what would it best be used for? Subscribed!

[@InformativeFisherman]

If the water is dingy straight braid will work fine. 10lb braid is very light for bass fishing, the shock strength of the line is not good, I would use at least 30lb or 20lb braid.

[@harrydick3300]

Only retards you straight braid because they cut the fish all up and unable to release

[@skateboardpaulo4441]

its not about humans seeing the line underwater ive been studying line for year and first thing u must ALWAY REMEMBER AND I STRONGLY REMIND YOU YOU MUST ALWAY ALWAYS REMEMBER fish see diffrently to us they can see 3/4 of the light spectrum way more than we can see so i recomend u do a test in salt water then get a white light yellow light ir light red light blue light uv light green light and last of all a thermal camera by doing this u get an understanding of what most fish see hope it helps GOOD FISHING GUYS

[@tylerfeehan5835]

hey im somewhat new to fishing, last year i got an abu garcia cardinal 300i amd i recently put some 10 pound braid on it for bass fishing. should i use a leader? most of the water wear i fish isnt clear and my line is a dark green. if anyone could help me out on what i should do i would really appreciate it, thanks

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thanks, yeah no sure what happened with the audio on that one.

[@exitar1]

WoW really well done 👍

[@feellnfroggy]

Have you done or planned a review of that C21? His response to the reason they went that route with that line, was basic and uninformative as far as the line itself, did change material composition to create the line? Is it the same as any other mono basic line for beginners? What makes it better than the 3.99 roll at the infamous Wally World? I have two little girls that love to fish, with their own poles. They don't have the experience or rigs for braid, and fleuro doesn't fit their fish, I want better than cheap, but they are kids and will go through more line than is preferred. That's a good price, for a line "claimed" better than generic, is it worth the money?After reading this, I just watched the question about taking your little girls out, lol. Great point. Im glad you hit that. I am curious for a Beginner or Basic fisherkid review of some of those basic lines though. Lots of review of Prograde and Exceptional amateur grade fishing tackle, not a lot of reviews for teaching kids or reviewing kids equipment.... (not the Barbie pole) lol, but beginner Zebco, 33 classic, Mono setup for worm and bobber, or catfish bait kinda thing. Great vids.

[@HeroBearKing]

Do you recommend the CFX as a leader for walleye fishing??

[@stephen6191]

Hello Nick, how about blackening the first few feet of your mono or copolymer to take the visibility down like people do with braid?

[@InformativeFisherman]

It will be a big difference at first being that the braid has zero memory and is much thinner.

[@chrisburgess6964]

I just bought the c21 20lb for bottom bouncing in the Fraser hope it works.

[@javierlopez7357]

CX Premium line seem awesome. I've never used it before and wondering if the line has any buoyancy to it. I fish shallow rivers off of a kayak and have limited space. So every rig I have needs to have multiple uses. Can I throw topwater plugs with this line?

[@slimeypendleton2590]

Hey Nick! with Shad season in full swing i was wondering what type of PLine and leater material you would recommend? I'll be Bobber/Float fishing the upper American River. Thanks for all the great content!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Have you seen my crab snaring 101 episode?

[@InformativeFisherman]

12lb 100% fluorocarbon is what I would use.

[@bennyisom2055]

Sir could you tell me which Pline fluorocarbon would be good for crappie and what test thank you very much

[@kennybrown359]

What would you suggest for wacky rigging in light vegetation, and finesse fishing a Carolina rigged stick worm? Great video by the way. P-Line is amazing.

[@jcamacho539]

Hey nick I have a question. there is this Lake a go shore fishing for strippers but the only way to get the 20"+ is to throw my bait on a Carolina Rig as far as i can with my 12ft rod (80-100 yards). The problem is that my leader keeps getting tangled with my main line. What would you suggest to prevent that from happening. This is my set up: Carolina Rig: 12ft rod, 30 lb braided main line, 4 Oz weight on a slider, swivel, and a 15 lb flourcarbon leader.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Jose Camacho If your leader is getting tangled it sounds more like a casting issue over the line. Have you watched my episode on casting distance?

[@stormmancloud4501]

***** make of usa ??

[@JM-mp4dm]

Which lake has strippers? Asking for a friend

[@ricardog.1465]

What kind of line and pounds should I use for bluegill , would like to take my son fishing.

[@josephhale9198]

2 to 4 lb test on a ultra lite

[@josephhale9198]

Me n my son were tearing up the bluegill and small bass on the 4lb test p line and the daiwa ultra lite

[@monkeyking67]

which type of line do you prefer for drop shot fishing or jigging a 1/4oz jig with say a J-bug? thanks Rick

[@newcrankeeworkshop]

There was alot of mentioning of "LEADER MATERIAL" specific. Lets say you were using 50lb braid and didnt have said leader material but had some Floroclear. would you use that as said leader material even though it wasnt stated specifically for liters? As Always KEEP these awesome videos coming. Thanks Glen.

[@harrydick3300]

Yes you could use any line you want for leaders depending on if you're fishing in cover I would use the cxx or strong ones more abrasion resistant

[@TheUnknowndragon78]

I'm primarily a braided line guy. I've got more fish and the line has lasted 3 time more than monofiliment or flurocarban. but what's the difference between the braided lines

[@dariuszdzikowski3957]

Casting jigs, CX or Flouroclear differences? Which has less memory, hookset sensitivity, and smoother casting 1/2 oz lures?

[@Hrhea70]

Does p line make a fluorocarbon clear fluorescent? I used cx premium and it just didn’t have the feel that I would have with sunline or stren.

[@robertbairt928]

Which lines recommended for Garcia Aubu bait caster in Fresh water for LM Bass plastic worm pitching?

[@austinlester1555]

Nike I just put cxx 10 pound test on a bass rod it's adu garcia med heavy rod spinning I use for zoom finesse worm ,deadringers and senko for wade fishung the new River in southern wv I used couple of days and it don't seem to cast good to me can do any to help it cast be

[@jasonmulson4275]

Hi Nick! What would be the best bass and trout fishing line? Also what pound test line is best using a baitcaster?

[@Relemdeen]

so 12 pound CXX? use that for the 12-20 pound bait caster? ok, well i dont know if i can get that at my local canadian tire, but im about to get going so i will keep an eye out for it. i have watched a few of your video's and used some of your guidance. i have only caught 2 small fish, i think they were sunfish. but im looking forward to more XD thank you.

[@MrEricdgreat]

What line for big Swimbaits say 3-10 once lures?? Thank you

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

MrEricdgreat CXX 25-30lb

[@bayarea6464]

Is the cxx good for spinning reels or bait caster's I have spinning reel looking for good line to set up for salmon in the Sacramento area

[@crown951]

I like how all the lines are explained except the one in trying to get information on being the C21

[@carmelocardoso4435]

I have a ?? what if I wanna put a 12lb floro clear line on a shakespear 6'6 spinnin rod that has a 10lb already....would it affect it alot????

[@cocx88]

I love using flouroclear.... Can literally cast a mile

[@patm6525]

I spooled up yesterday and it keeps twisting. So annoying!

[@scycosnake3964]

New line does that, put your finger so the line flicks it on each revolution, for the first few outings

[@northarkboers]

What is the difference in CX Premium and Flouroclear?

[@brycenewell6682]

For large mouth bass what p-line do you reccomend.

[@Relemdeen]

quick question, i dont go fishing very often, but when i do i love it. so what kind of line would you recommend for baitcasters? i just got my first baitcaster yesterday and i dont know what to use for it. i have 2 rods, a abu garcia "specialist" rod and reel combo that goes 4-12 pound, im using 10 pound braid (think im doing it wrong) and its a spin caster. my second rod i got yesterday is a Abu Garcia "sapphire crest" combo 12-20 pound medium-heavy. i live in ontario near alot of docks.

[@justinlorenzetti771]

Will halo work good with clearer waters for Texas rig and what pound test do you suggest?

[@fishdisc7022]

Howdy Nick, What line or combo (line+leader) would think would be best for Trout fishing the sierra streams this year? Water is crystal clear and a little warm so trout seam to be sluggish and picky.

[@harrydick3300]

Change your bait, I fish clear water for native trout in Oregon with 12lb maxima flouro, they are not line shy they just do want what you are offering

[@zoilasanchez3386]

hi nick l have a question i fish cat fish i use a penn750ss and a 8000 battle i want to switch line to p line cxx super strong would 25lb be good for 30 to 40 cat or go. with 40lb braid

[@christinacarrillo1451]

What line would you recommend for bass fishing with a abu garcia bkackmaxx

[@anthonyseymore1217]

I have 3 5500c3 3 6500c 1 7000c you think 20# would work

[@EveryDayReem]

Is the P-Line CX-Premium Fluorocarbon Coated Fishing Line (clear) a good low visibility line? In comparison to a 100% fluorocarbon line how does the visibility match up?

[@MemphisMojo15s]

Come see my video How to cast a baitcaster. It's the video with 14k views. I am using the CX Premium line and it has a blue tint which I've never had a problem catching fish with, even bank fishing.

[@CalBearAddict]

I am going to do some stocked rainbow fishing and am looking for a low vis line. I was thinking of switching to Fluoroclear from mono. Primary bait will most likely be Power Eggs or Power Bait. Should I be concerned about the fact that the line does not float (i.e. will it pull my bait down to the bottom) or if using 4-6 lb test, should it not be a problem?

[@xXxShadownovaxXx]

I've used 6lb fluorocarbon with power eggs before so 4lbs fluoroclear will work with power eggs( ive fished with 4lbs fluoroclear for trout before)

[@ryancork5281]

I'd use a 7ft leader of 6lb fluorocarbon line.

[@salvadorcisneros]

quick question I'm fishing the Sacramento river what's the best P line to use on my bait casting reel

[@1Mannco]

I use the 15lb P-Line premium in the moss green for Salmon which blends in the water of the Sacramento river. It's about the thickness of 12lb to 14lb line, has low memory, low stretch but not like the cxx and casts great in both kinds of reels. It's only $7.99 for 300 yards, two uses. GREAT line!!

[@31sweetcorn]

What would you suggest for ice fishing for pan fish?

[@jacobmosqueda7059]

is that Xtra strong sting a braid or?

[@XxxbasseradayxxX]

What is the best choice for lure fishing in pre spawn for largemouth

[@MemphisMojo15s]

Live minnows or night crawlers

What line do you prefer when drifting roe for salmon

[@InformativeFisherman]

20lb CX Premium P-Line

[@evanlayne23]

wish you guys would have talked more about the c21 line. where is the cost cutting? how's the stretch and abrasion resistance?

[@indrasimon312]

hi I would to know is the fishing line wire line

[@trextrextrex]

Push that Floro boys

[@kennybrown359]

Thanks. Would you use a leader?

[@kyleritter3701]

Quick question. Just bought some 6 lb test Pline 100% Fluorocarbon for this year's upcoming trout season. How long of a shelf life does it have if it is sitting inside my house, or "controlled environment" and not on my reel yet?

[@InformativeFisherman]

I hang on to mine up to about 4 years.

[@kyleritter3701]

***** Awesome. Thanks for the reply. One more question if you don't mind helping me out, I am just curious on why it makes a difference in what pound test leader you use when you use fluorocarbon? If it is suppose to be virtually invisible in water why couldn't you use 12 pound test leader for trout instead of the usual 4-6 lb test?

[@yaushaas]

Kyle Ritter from what I hear, it's for when you get snagged. You just lose the leader and not your main line.

[@albertholiday1984]

The problem with having a rep from the company is that you can have crap and make it sound great I don’t believe videos like yours especially with “pline “ products behind you what a fucking joke as if your trying to be neutral about the product. How much did you get paid for this promotion?

[@zoilasanchez3386]

hi nick l have a question i fish cat fish i use a penn750ss and a 8000 battle i want to switch line to p line cxx super strong would 25lb be good for 30 to 40 cat or go. with 40lb braid

[@InformativeFisherman]

The 25lb breaks near 30lbs, I run the 25lb on 30lb drag reels and bring in 100lb fish.
