Fishing Line Online

posted by admin on Apr 7

I just bought my first flyfishing rod and reel, now I’m trying to get it set it up. Can I simply use braided or superbraided regular fishing line for my backing or do I have to use a backing-specific type of line?

dacron of 20 or 30lb test is commonly sold for fly line backing.

it is usually priced considerably less than super braids and comes with enough on the spool so your fly line finishes filling the reel spool to the optimum level.

Going April 11, 12th, and 13th, never been trout fishing before. Using a 5:1:1 ratio Shimano real and a 6 ft rod…Taking two seperate poles, a light and heavy outfit if needed. Not sure of the line to use. Thanks.

Best bet would be 6 or 8# test with a leader of 4-6 # test respectively and length of 18-20"’s. Hope it helps and "Trout On", to ya’ … < ‘ (( ( > <

Note: Berkley’s Vanish Transition Line (Fluorocarbon type) be a good choice for Trout…

I use Clear & Clear/Blue Fluorescent or a variation of that color for my fishing. Just a quick question on your preferences when it comes to fishing line color.

With the invention of Fluro I guess it doesn’t really matter……..

I almost always use either a Fluro line or a Fluro leader.

However, my main-line, (if it isn’t Fluro), is always green. Green line is the least observed by most fish……in my opinion.

I’ve tried Crystal, Clear/Blue, Smoke, Red, "Clear", Etc and good ole green-tinted line smokes them all.

How do you thread a fishing line through the pole? I have a Shakespeare xtreme that will haul in up to 20 lbs. I plan on going to fish for Salmon (in Alaksa). Also, are there any tricks on how to attach the lure? Any knotting techniques? Can you recommend a website? -Fishing again for the first time

Check out this website:

http://www.takemefishing.org/fishing/fishopedia/how-to-fish

This will give you some good tips as well as show how to do all sorts of knots. The Palomar is the the easiest, and it’s never failed on me. The improved clinch knot is also very popular among anglers.

As far as threading a fishing line, just put it up through the holes. Pull out enough line after it is threaded in order to put your bobber on (if you are using one, I suggest the slip bobber if you are) at the depth you want plus enough line to tie your lure or hook on. Use your preferred knot from the website to tie it on.

Hope this helps. Good Luck.
