Big game fishing line

Fishing line for strong line bodies

Big game fishing is mostly done at sea and requires heavy equipment. That's why the fishing lines used for this type of fishing are extremely hard-wearing, so they can get the better of the fish.

Tuna, shark, grouper, swordfish... all the world's most powerful species are coveted by sport fishermen. To fill their reels, these anglers need braid, nylons and fluorocarbons with high tens ile strength and large diameters. Spools of several hundred threads can be found to fill reels completely.

The 3 types of line mentioned above are used as line bodies. These fishing lines must be easy to handle for knot tying and easy to handle when fishing.

Fishing line for big game fishing to make leaders

As with line bodies, the fishing line used to make leaders must be very strong. In addition to tensile strength, fluorocarbons and nylons must be able to withstand abrasion. As the leader is the line closest to the fish, the filament used may come into contact with rocks, weed beds or the fish themselves.

That's why fishing line must combine 3 essential qualities: tensile strength,abrasion resistance and flexibility. Flexibility is important for easy knotting and assembly.

Unlike line bodies, you can buy fishing line in small spools.
