Hooked on Fishing: Line Knots

by Mike Banovetz

The optimist fisherman! 

There is only one thing between you and the fish, line and knots tied. It can be confusing to determine what is the best line choice!  Choices are monofilament, fluorocarbon, copolymer, braid, and lead core with variations of each type. I have an arsenal of rods and reels with every kind of fish line. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Pairing line with rod and reel type all factor into line choices and of course the targeted fish and techniques planned.
