Did you just get a new spinning reel?
If so, you might have found yourself asking, Can I put braid on my spinning reel?
That is exactly what we are going to talk about in today’s post. We will also try to address some other concerns you might have when fishing with braid.
Let’s get started.
Braided fishing line is a must-have in any bass fisherman’s tackle box.
But one commonly asked question that we get here on the blog is: Does Braid Sink Or Float?
Now you might be thinking, does it really matter? Can using a fishing line that sinks really make that much of a difference on the overall presentation?
The answer is yes, it does matter and yes, it can make a difference in your lure presentation.
With that being said, let’s answer this question as well as other questions related to fishing with braid.
Green, blue, pink, red, yellow, white. These are just some of the many colors of braided fishing line.
Which one is the best color for bass fishing? Does color really matter? Will I need a leader?
Let’s answer those question.
Should I put fluorocarbon on my spinning reel?
Talk about a difficult question to answer.
No doubt you have probably heard a story from one of your friends who put on flouro on their spinning reel and had all kinds of line twists etc.
On the other hand, you really like the unique properties that this line has to offer. The fact that it is extremely abrasion resistant, it is nearly invisibility and it is great at detecting the slightest bite.
With those two reasonings in mind, what should you do?
In this post, we are going to talk an ever so popular question: Can You Put Fluorocarbon Fishing Line On A Spinning Reel?
Let’s dive right in…
A good quality fishing line is not cheap.
For example, a high-quality fluorocarbon can run anywhere between $30 to as high as $85 a spool. It all depends on the weight of the line and the amount you buy. Now multiply that dollar amount by the number of reels that you have in your garage and we are talking about a serious investment.
With that being said, when it comes to spooling our reels, we want to know exactly how many yards of fishing line are needed so as to avoid wasting/spending money unnecessarily.
I don’t know about you, but I would much rather save some money on fishing line and spend the extra money on a new gear.
For that reason, in this post, I am going to show you how to figure out exactly how many yards you are going to need to top off your fishing reels. I also want to talk about a few tips that I have learned along the way to save some money on fishing line.
