I just got back from Florida where we got our limit of redfish every day for a week. Thank goodness, "blackend redfish" is no longer legal to sell in restaurants.

At the doubled end of the loop squeeze it together and pass it into the swivel eye or hoo eye and then over the entire swivel or item. You can undo it in reverse to remove the swivel , hook weight or lure. This simple knot will do as well or better than any knot you will ever learn and it works on all lines up to maybe 120 pound monofilament test. Many people use swivels to attach things to or prevent line twist while others like me believe swivels can scare fish away and come open to allow a trophy to get away. Fishing is all about trial and error so try a million knots and then you will come back to this one.<br><b>References : </b><br>many moons of moon tanning Make a loop at the end of your line place an overhand knot close to where the short end is using both lines and do it again close to it.

I would strip the line at different rates to see at what speed the fish are biting at. I would look into the water to see what small life forms (bugs and small fish) are in the lake water and use pattern that most resembles the aquatic life. - STB<br><b>References : </b><br> In a lake you’ll need give the fly some movement.

]]> Comment on how do you choose what fishing line to use? by Grand Master Basser® http://www.fishinglineonline.com/fluorocarbon-fishing-line/how-do-you-choose-what-fishing-line-to-use/comment-page-1#comment-1050 Grand Master Basser® Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:47:59 +0000 http://www.fishinglineonline.com/fluorocarbon-fishing-line/how-do-you-choose-what-fishing-line-to-use#comment-1050 Monofilament is a limp line with low to moderate spool memory and average diameter as compared to its breaking strength. It has a considerable amount of stretch to it and does not transmit bottom contact and light bites as well as fluorocarbon. Monofilament has good abrasion resistance and knot strength with fairly low visibility. It casts easily and tends to float. Copolymer lines have properties similar to mono but are usually thicker and have better abrasion resistance. Fluorocarbon is not as limp as mono. It tends to be moderately to extremely "springy", which can lead to loops and tangles, especially on spinning reels. Although, fluoro is nearly invisible, has signifiantly lower stretch than mono, and transmits light bites and bottom contact extremely well. It sinks also and has a higher abrasion resistance than monofilament, but has about the same diameter/breaking strength ratio. Braid has an extremely small diameter compared to its breaking strength. It has no stretch and is extremly limp. Braid is pretty prone to knotting and backlashing during a cast and has the highest visibility of any line. It floats and is extremely abrasion resistant. Bottom baits, flourocarbon's extremely low visibity, superior abrasion resistance ad enhanced ability to transmit bottom contact and light bites make it a good choice. Mono is good also. Crankbaits, fluorocarbon transmits vibrations and bottom contact through the rod better than either monofilament or braid, allowing you to moniter your lure during the retrieve better, also 'cause fluorocarbon sinks, it helps diving lures dive even deeper. Its fifty-fifty with jerkbaits. Fluorocarbon gets these lures down deeper, a big help is cooler water, but monofilament's better stretch helps prevent lightly hooked fish from coming off. Monofilament's better stretch allows bass to engulf spinnerbaits and buzzbaits deeper for better hook sets... a good thing when bass are hitting short. Heavy mono or copolymer line for big heavy swimbaits, fluorocarbon for smaller swimbaits in clear water. Fluorocarbon sinks, not allowing the action of surface baits to shine. Braid floats, but the lack of shock-absorbing stretcginess means lightly hooked fish can easily throw the hook. Monofilament has the best blend of castability, flotation and stretchiness for topwater lures. Braid is the best for frogs. It floats, helping prevent the line from getting entangled in submerged vegetation. Braid's small diameter makes casting these lures long distances, and high breaking strength means you'll land more fish hooked in the thicker stuff.<br><b>References : </b><br>-B Monofilament is a limp line with low to moderate spool memory and average diameter as compared to its breaking strength.

This is important because it is difficult to cover as much water from the bank as you can from a boat. Of course, I don't think I have to tell you that you have to pay a lot more attention to your back cast or your lure spends more time in the trees than on the water. UGH!!<br><b>References : </b><br> When fishing from a bank I find that I have to be much more deliberate about casting in a fan pattern to cover as much water as possible.
