subject: How To Make A Braid Fishing Line [print this page] A braiding fishing line is one of the earliest brands of fishing lines that is still in popular use up to this time because of its extremely sturdiness. This brand of fishing line is compilled from merging different synthetic fibers formed with each other. Originally braid lines were created from natural fibers until recent times when the manufacturers began to merge the man-made fibers such as Micro-dyneema, Spectra and Dacron. These fibers helps to produce a fishing line that has more advantages than that of the regular fishing line manufactured from monofilament components and is often referred to as a super line. This characteristic has caused it to become even more popular over the last couple of years and have produced several different quality make to choose from like spiderwire, powerpro and whiplash.
The strength of the braid fishing line allows it to be very good opposing agent to the abrasion that causes other fishing lines to wear out quickly and snap so it stays much longer than the normal fishing line. They also do not stretch as much as other lines, so they are much more sensitive and this allows an angler to feel the least amount of nibbles from a fish. Most fishers who use them have to use scissors to cut them instead of clippers. Braided lines can be successfully installed on any type of fishing reel and are most well known as excellent lines for bait casting spools, specifically for trolling. If you use it make sure that your fishing rod is able to properly handle it.
Braided lines are made with a tinier diameter, so they are very limp and don't contain any spool memory like that of monofilament lines which means the cord is not able to coil as it comes off the reel. Since they drift so well, they are ideal lines for top water baits. They also have very minimal stretch so that the fish bait can be easily pulled away from a fish. However, you mustsetup a drag set so that a fish is not able to rip the hooks out of its mouth if it attempts to makes a strong run right at the boat.Braid fishing lines work particularly excellent for specific fishing situations however, they still do contain some drawbacks that can sometimes outweight the advantages.
At times the toughness of braided lines can also turn into a weakness. An inexperienced fisherman can slice his hands on these line as if he grips the line too hard when trying to pull it free from being caught in a tree or rock. Furthermore braided lines are much more expensive than other brands of fishing lines because the manufacturing process are much more expensive than that of monofilament lines so this expense is passed down to the customer and results in it being more pricey than the other kinds.
Generally braided lines are more opaque in the water than other lines which makes it more noticeable to the fishes so more fishermen refuse to use it in plain waters because it is easier to see it can easily spook the fish, especially on finesse baits where you are trying to entice a fish to nibble a lure they can see for a long time. Fishers have however, discovered a solution for this by connecting a monofilament at the end of the braided fishing line to serve as a leader to reduce the high perceptibility of the braided fishing line.
