www.catfishedge.com - Fishing line is the critical link between the hook and bait and landing fish. When targeting smaller fish line panfish the fishing line is not critical but when fishing for catfish the fishing line can make or break your success so choosing the right catfish fishing line is critical. In this week's Catfishing Quick Tip video we discuss catfish fishing line and the critical factors to look for and items to consider including braided fishing line, monofilament fishing line and the "hi-vis advantage" so you can better understand what type and size fishing line you should consider before you spool your fishing reel with line. To get more tips, tricks and information on catfish fishing visit the Learn To Catch Catfish website.

been using 20 lb big game mono on casting reels for years with no problems!!! as they say, if it aint broken, don't fix it!! The line companys market braid because they make more money on the sell!! Old school says in most cases, stay with mono!!

The only reason I like braided is no stretch and the ability to fish over beds that are full of grass and lily pads. You can really work a braided line without any fear of breaking it. I've pulled fish out of heavy cover with 5 lb braided that mono 100 percent would have snapped.

20 lb line might be fine for wherever you are fishing. However in central PA you should be equipped with a minimum of 50 lb braid with a minimum of 50 lb mono leader. This is due to all the rock structures that we fish around. I fish for flatheads out of the my kayak and typically use 65 lb Powerpro with a 50-65 lb mono leader.

+pasdwreslter Not doubting you, but we fish the Missouri River down here in Nebraska/Iowa with 20lb berkley big game and land monster cats. The missouri is super grimey. Anything from rocks, downed trees, stolen cars. It's all about how you handle the fish. A dude about an hour south of me landed a 92 pound blue with berkley big game 20lb. The missouri ranges from 10-80 feet where we are. It's nasty.

There are cats in these big rivers that will strip a reel of 80lb braid pulling 20 lbs of drag and break the line when they get to the end if they are running with the current.

So 20 pound really is strong enough for those 60 and 80 pound trophy cats ? I feel like i would worry alot about the line snaping cause i use 80 pound on my abu garcia 7000ic3 now if i do use 20 pound line on how high of drag do you recommend
@LRO1986
@LRO1986 8 лет назад
+Nick Yates Yes. My friend landed a 92 pound blue in the Missouri River in Nebraska with 20lb big game. Keep the drag somewhat high and let the fish wear itself out.

What size leader line should be used
@teetersteeters231
@teetersteeters231 3 года назад
Chad. Or anyone.. who can help. its still confusing a little. I have always loved catfishing I have always just used my main line clear mono. Tied a bass siner on main line and about 12 inches I tied a hook . I wanted to start catch bigger cat fish using live bait cut bait ect.and not eater size catfish. I fish from the bank so I can do a sinker slide rig carolina rig so the fish dont feel my sinker and I will be trying out a catfish reel with a clicker with high vis line to a clear leader. So I agree 20lbs line is a good place to start . Edward stone acked a question below. So 20 lbs main line with what size leader line 20lbs?? Comment was left from catfish edge . No with 40 - 50lbs leader line So to me your not useing 20lbs line your useing what ever size your leader line is to a point?? But I guess you would want your leader line a little bigger because of hitting under water structure. And it you needed to break off it due to a hang up. You are only breaking off of 20lbs line. So do you always use stronger leader line or can 2o and 20? Thank you!!

I use braided line for the lead it's way harder to cut through and you only use a little bit at a time so expense isnt bad. It's easier to tie knots with for your rig imo and seems to hold tighter although I've never had knot problems with mono. I like the added comfort of.the fish not being able to rub the line against a rock and break it or even somehow bite through. Line damage is more noticable with braid as well so you can see problems easier before.you loose a trophy fish

I'm saying that people that fish for monster cats don't need these stupid expensive braided lines. I fish all around the Missouri River and have landed plenty of hardened flathead, channels, blues, northern, walleye, gar, carp, drum, asian carp, and sturgeon in all types of structure from open water to giant piles of timber in heavy current. 20lb mono is cheap and reliable.
@chancetaylor6763
@chancetaylor6763 6 лет назад
They use that sort of line so that they can get the fish in without exhausting them, it increases the chances of being able to release the fish in good shape.

@Catfishedge

Absorbs shock and provides abrasion resistance
@danielwells0617
@danielwells0617 10 лет назад
***** I dont understand the concept, i fish alot on the Mississippi River and i would NEVER use a leader no matter where i catfish. I want all shock to be distributed throughout my line and not centered on my weakest link. However i do use a 25 lbs "leader" which is the same as my main line on my stink bait worms which is attacked to my swivel. I think that leaders are the worst nightmare for fishermen worried about loosing a lure or their favorite hook.
@Perfectt852
@Perfectt852 5 лет назад
Leaders save your knot from the "death roll" because it's attached to a swivel. Thick leaders are better at hook end in case of any rubbing on rocks or trees while fighting a fish
