The LAST Fishing Line Video You Will EVER Need (Fishing Line Masterclass)

[@TexasConnor]

You’re channel caused me to pick up fishing in the last few years. Never was really into it as a young guy. But now as a new father to 2 young boys, I can’t thank you enough. It’s going to be a great hobby for us to enjoy together.

[@TylersReelFishing]

That is awesome! Glad to have ya around

[@cannibalholiday]

Welcome to the hobby :D Coming back to it after a long time. Health kept me from doing all the stuff I used to when younger, but now I've moved and there's a lot of good fishing practically on my doorstep. Seemed only natural to return to it :) Hope the kids take to it like fish to water :D

[@stulindenjr]

I recently got back into fishing myself because my 7yr old son is interested in it. I just bought him his first spincast combo rod and reel @TylerReelsFishing

[@noisybandit5180]

I dreamt that I was fishing last night, and you were right there with me in the dream giving me tips, surreal man

[@Ardeact]

You know you're addicted when you dream about fishing lol, me too man

[@LoganAtkinson-o7m]

I just started fishing seriously a few months ago and I’ve only been bass fishing about a month and I kept hearing about “bass are curious so throw different lures they’re stupid and will just try to grab it” and I didn’t realize how true that was till I fished a private pond and you could genuinely just tell by the way the responded to it that they had never seen anything like my crank bait, not only was it amazing to see the fish follow my lure all the way up to the shallow and be able to see them actually eat it but it also just gave me a chance to observe the bass behavior up close to what my lure would do

[@cassandrawoods2725]

TYLER! *in my texan country voice* you’ve done it again, thank you for breaking it down for us & sharing your knowledge. I always recommend your channel to anyone who is new to bass fishing for this exact reason! May God continue to bless you and your family, always. P.S. congratulations to you and your beautiful wife on y’all’s pregnancy. I hope y’all are enjoying every moment, the little kicks and movements are truly magical and such a blessing.

[@williamfry6087]

Dynamic force on a line can exceed the static force by more than twice. A 2 lb fish can exert up to 6 lbs force on a line by just jumping

[@TylersReelFishing]

Great point!

Thanks David!

[@RojoDelChocolate]

This video is right on time. I'm just getting into having multiple rods and was wondering what line to use for each application . .

[@officialWWM]

When it comes to line lb tests, you also have to remember that your rod flexes and bends. That takes a lot of shock out of the line so a 10lb line can easily handle a 20lb fish. Also, the more line you have out, the more weight the system can handle. Also, a 10lb fish that’s trying to get away, weighs a lot more than 10lb…which is where the reel drag comes into play. Also, a 10lb fish doesn’t weigh 10lbs in the water. You can catch a 50lb fish on 8lb test if you take your time and wear it out. Where the line strength matters most is when you get the fish to the boat. If you try to lift a 20lb fish on 10lb line, as soon as it is out of the water, the full weight comes onto your line, the rod is at maximum bend, so it’s not providing any shock protection and the line is at its shortest, so something has gotta give. It’s either gonna be your line or your knots. So get a landing net :)

[@adamkoepke1366]

Great video! I’ve always been curious about the benefits of each line and which lures they’re best for

[@TylersReelFishing]

Flouro for everything besides flipping, topwater, and dirty water jigs/Texas rigs. Easiest way to give a good blanket answer

[@evanmitchell9096]

​@@TylersReelFishingWait so what should you use for Texas rigs. I've been using just pure floro since it sinks but is that right for all lures that sink?

[@adamkoepke1366]

[@JoshPerez]

Great video Tyler! Your friendly airport Chik-fil-A stranger checking in here! I'm a big BFS guy, but still love my spinning setups. Another thing, isn't the line rating another way to protect your rod? i.e. use light lines so that in worst scenario, your line would break before the rod snaps? Thanks brother in Christ!

I fish rivers and creeks mainly with low current but sometimes heavy cover , so I always use at least 20lb braid, unless there's rocks then I use fluoro

[@Stan_Rich]

jGood Vid Tyler. I normally use Flourocarbon and sometimes Mono. I've yet to use braided line.

[@PaintGuy]

I just recently started targeting bass at my local lakes. I’m using my trout UL setups so I’m fishing 6-8lb line. It’s been a lot of fun because the 2-3lb fish give me more of a fight haha.

[@TylersReelFishing]

For sure!

[@cannibalholiday]

I wish this video came out last week :D I'm a total newbie and my baitcaster just came monday. Went down to the local tackle shop, got some trilene for the base of the spool, and then braid and fluorocarbon for main/leader. For lures I got worms in neutral, black and white silhouettes, and a couple of bright types, some crayfish and a popper. Based on that I asked the guy at the store what pound test. He said 10 would be fine. I get home, start practice casting in the yard and my line keeps snapping and launching my frog. (I did the tension setup, etc. so the lure drops to the ground when the switch is released). My knots are lasting. But the lines (both the braid and the fluoro snapped) casting the froggy. I lightly sanded the guides to remove any burrs. It's been a LONG time since I fished, and I grew up flycasting, so I don't think I'm snapping the line too hard on cast. At least I can time my thumb pressure so I don't backlash :)

[@cannibalholiday]

And even though that frog has practically no weight, a bit of googling said to run it on 30 lb test. Doh. So I guess I gotta go get some stronger line.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yeah, that guy at the tackle shop was wrong. Frog is a 30lb braid at minimum lure

[@cradford875]

Wow, what an awesome breakdown with fishing line and how to use the braided line with resin leads. Thank you. How long are your resin leads on braid? Thanks.

[@jasoncummings1755]

Its amazing how now with all the testing out there showing how much better mono is vs flouro when it comes to break strength, abrasion resistance and stretch. Stretch was basically the same but mono was far superior in the other categories but everyone still pushes mono. Mono caught fish for 50yrs but marketing catches your money!

[@retflo2583]

[@garydennis130]

[@cee9680]

[@patrickcotter945]

Good info! spinning reel only throwing 1/8 finesse in heavily pressured creeks that are 14-24 feet deep? Targeting 16-28 inch fish 2- 10 lbs 15 pound just gets bird nested all day long , i’m thinking 6 lb ?

[@TylersReelFishing]

15lb braid on a spinning pole birds nests?

[@double_carson2537]

Hey Tyler. One question. For someone like me that loves to fish. But doesn’t do it enough to have 2-12 rods with me every time I go on the water. That doesn’t have the money or time to go out and get a boat to fish off of and get to the best places in the water. What is the best money friendly rod and reel and line combo that can still help elevate my game. But not break my budget and make me feel like I overpaid for something that I don’t do enough?

[@RibbitMaster64]

And once again, you help me get a little closer to getting better.. lol.. great video..

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@chrisvigo4880]

You are absolutely right. Couple years ago i decided to step it up a little and started tying fluorocarbon leaders and i was landing waaay more fish. Got lazy when the leader would snap amd didnt catch as much as before. It is worth it, im definitely ising. Fluorocarbon in my clear pressured waters in newyork westchester county.

[@classicamericanoldman1091]

30 lb pro plan "moonshine" braid to leader....flouro 10 -20 lbs Seagar depending on application....all reels...makes it easy...and less line to buy.

[@cutley2b]

Hey Tyler…another great video. Have commented before on previous videos but would like to mention one thing. If possible try and SLOW DOWN your presentations. You give excellent advice but you talk so fast that sometimes it’s difficult to take it all in. Slow-it-down.

[@matthewmcnulty]

Is there not a middle ground where braided line with a floro leader would work? Seems like you would get the casting distance and durability with braid, with the obfuscation of floro.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes, absolutely. I just don’t trust that leader knot enough for big braid to big fluoro

[@jamessullivan5683]

I've got a couple of questions. Can you successfully fish jigs like football jigs and casting jigs on mono? And are there certain rod guides more braid friendly than others?

[@Just_A_Name14]

You can fish anything on any type of line. Some are just better than others

[@AnildoTimas]

Great video Ty

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@holymackerel33]

My mono line is usually 2lbs or 4lbs for my ultralight setups when I'm going for panfish with the kids. The lines I've used my entire life were all less than 10lbs. My grandpa taught me that I could bring whatever fish in that I caught with that line. The largest difference would be how much I could force the fish around. If I had very strong line, I could yank the fish out of whatever junk it's in. With less strong line I need to tire the larger fish before bringing them in. That's what you're talking about with line weight, right

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes. If you’re throwing 10lb line around heavy vegetation, you’re gonna have trouble. Lots of situations where it benefits you to upsize

[@holymackerel33]

@@TylersReelFishing yup. And today was proof of that. I was fishing on a lake at my in-laws. I've only ever fished a river. I'm not used to all that vegetation. My #00 mepps thunderbug (that I just took out of the package, the first cast) was ripped off the 4lb mono line by something really big. Way bigger than the hand sized bluegill. I switched to the larger setup that I had with me and a pad crasher. That got taken and ripped a hole in the front of the frog. I switched to the pad crasher Jr and caught probably the biggest bass I've ever had, by a lot. I tried to keep my tip up and not let it run, but after a few seconds the line snapped. That one has 12lb mono. Since I'll be fishing there again, I'll have to get more/new gear appropriate for the area I'll be fishing. I'm very appreciative that you include gear in your description.

Hopefully you will answer me ... I have an old fishing rod and reel , with recommendation for rod 15 lb line monofilament and max 1/3 - 1 oz lure , reel 0.40 mm filament ....
