Wind Reel Line
How does a braid line compare with a mono nylon line in beach/surf cast fishing?
I beach fish a lot for salmon (& whatever small stuff about) & have always used 25lb Jarvis Walker mono nylon line. I use a braid line while boat fishing but have had problems with braid lines while rock fishing – too light & affected by the wind too much.
I have just bought myself a new surf casting front drag spinning reel & was wondering what strength line to put on it.
I hope someone can make sense of my waffling & can give me some advice. Should I stick to 25lb mono nylon line, or try braid line & increase the breaking strain strength to give me a slightly heavier line to combat the wind. The place where I do my fishing is actually named “Windy Harbour”.
(In my opinion), there are NO comparisons! I fish for many different species of fish, (in Salt & Freshwater), and find braided lines very worthy. Braided lines are perfect for any type of bottom-fishing situations.
Times NOT to use braids?
A. Offshore trolling, (or Big lake trolling).
B. Casting Topwater lures.
C. Casting Rattle Traps.
You may want to investigate the newer breeds of Braids available. I like Power Pro, Berkley Fireline, Stren Superbraid, but there are many brands and they all work well, (in most cases).
Power Pro 8/30 or 10/40 would be excellent for your situation.(Diameter of 8lb Mono with the strength of 30lb Mono.) Smaller diameter means you can use a lighter weight to keep it stationary; it “cuts ” the waves easier; and with no stretch you get instant feedback from light-biting fish.
Use a heavier Mono/Fluorocarbon/Wire leader and Viola!
Hope this helps? Good fishing.
