This video is all about fishing line and the pros and cons to different types of fishing line. There are all kinds of fishing lines on the market that include lines such as monofilament fishing line, Fluorocarbon fishing line, 4 strand braided fishing line and 8 strand braided fishing line. Each of these different fishing lines have several pros and cons especially as they pertain to inshore fishing applications. Inshore fishing includes catch a variety of species such as Flounder, Redfish and Speckled Trout. Many of these fish have teeth and live in areas with sharp, jagged structure which can cause you to miss a fish of a lifetime due to line failure. This video is geared towards guiding anglers to choosing the best fishing line that suits their fishing needs.

You don't have to use backing with braid. Tie the braid on the spool with a modified uni knot. Then use your hand to turn the spool until you have 10 feet of line on the spool. Then the braid won't spin on the spool when you start reeling. I've done this many times with both baitcasters and spinning reels.

You are spot on about flouro on a spinning reel! I tried it once on my Shimano and I had an explosion birds nest. It was awful. I stripped that line off and spooled on Sufix 832 the next day and it was a night and day difference! BTW I've watched several of your videos and you are doing a fantastic job with your channel. I know it's a lot of work syncing multiple cameras and having to crank out content. Keep them coming!

On most of my bass fishing set ups I use different sizes of fluorocarbon line. Your video brought up some good points. Main one that stuck out to me was casting difference may have to change a reel or two so I can try it out.

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Definitely check it out and let me know what you think.

@raiderpower6875 3 года назад

This was great, thank you. I use a 4000 size spool for popping corks and bottom fishing applications, not excited to see the bill to fill it with 8 strand!

@southernsalt 3 года назад

Yeah good 8 strand isn’t cheap but it’s definitely worth if you throw a lot of artificial lures.

@txangler 4 года назад

Great vid. Something I might add....doe of the biggest downfalls for me with braid is the fact that when/if you backlash on a baitcaster, good luck picking that one out.

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Very true. Braid is definitely a little harder to get the back lashes out of.

I've been using spinning tackle with monofilament line since the 1950's. From then, until now, I've *never* seen a "wind knot" come off a spinning reel with monofilament line.

@wcarl60 4 года назад

I like to use spider wire ultra cast 12 lb test with a fluorocarbon leader

Hey man how's it going. I just shared this video with my coworker. Me my co-worker and a couple of my Buddy's we went on a 24 Mile fishing and camping kayak trip this weekend. My coworkers line got tangled up in a knot. Got a nice half an hour break of watching him fixing it. We were finally back to kayaking. I hope he learned something from it. But it was a good trip haven't kayaked in a long time. Felt good to get out the truck for a minute and not worry about getting call for a load. Happy Father's Day to you brother. Take it easy man.

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Man that sounds like an awesome trip! Hope you had a good weekend and Father’s Day as well!

@@southernsalt yes I did man it was a blast. The weather was nice hot but nice. It rain for like a 15 min to cool things down a little bit but we still kept kayaking. I caught a lot of bass and it was nice to sit in a different seat that was not filled with air for a change."LOL"

@c0b1a69 4 года назад

Still watching, but wanted to comment on the fluorocarbon line. Yes, terrible on a spinning reel and better underwater invisibility. The two other benefits of it are better abrasion resistance vs mono as well as for those reels that get a lot of sun time, UV has little effect on it. The worst characteristic it has is the inability to handle a really hard strike. It has less shock absorption and stretches less vs mono. But, that's another video as it affects more offshore fishing. And this video is inshore my friend! Great job!

@c0b1a69 4 года назад

and with the leader discussion, you covered part of it. ;)

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Great points brother! I’ll be honest with you I never really gave fluorocarbon it’s due diligence because by the time I made the much needed swap to bait casters I was full on committed to braid for inshore fishing. Never really thought about the UV deterioration of the line but definitely something to consider. Thanks for all your support man!

@StelmachsWorld Год назад

I live by powerpro braid, go look up abrasion tests on it, extremely durable for being braid

@southernsalt Год назад

In with you on power pro. Suffix 832 is great too.

@tripplebeards3427 2 года назад

I’ve been running 30 pound PP on my 40 series reel this past year and have caught tons of big freshwater fish. I used a 20 pound seagar leader. Heading onto the Florida canals in a few weeks. I ordered a fin nor LT40 and figure I’ll use the same size line set up for what ever bites. How much mon backing should I use? Wish I had a line counter.lol

@southernsalt 2 года назад

I make sure to put several revolutions on the spool maybe 20-30 yards.

@wesleybryant7334 4 года назад

Another great video, I’m guilty of using the fluorocarbon line for a leader 😅 i also didn’t know the 8strand was thinner than the 4strand love the power pro

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Thanks brother! Man that power pro super slick will change your life lol. So much smoother and longer casts. Its also easier on your guides because it’s so smooth.

@wesleybryant7334 4 года назад

Southern Salt Kayak Fishing definitely gonna be getting some i can tell the difference when i used spiderwire

@wesleybryant7334 4 года назад

I did have a question about the leaders is there a certain time you want to use fluoro or mono leader or do you use fluoro all the time? I’ve heard mono floats and use it for topwater and fluoro sinks?

@southernsalt 4 года назад

For me I always use flouro leaders unless I’m using top waters and in that case I just go straight braid to the lure.

@wesleybryant7334 4 года назад

Southern Salt Kayak Fishing cool sounds good thanks bro

@MrDavidelliottjr 3 года назад

I use 100 lb when fishing bull reds. Where I fish there's big stuff. Like shark and gar. And steel leaders

@LacsGaming 2 года назад

Overkill with the main line. Leader is where it matters if you wanna avoid shark and gar cutoffs

@happyhankjr 2 года назад

Have you, personally, done an abrasion test of braided lines against monofilament, and fluorocarbon lines? It's an easy test to do and you may already have the lines. Tape a sheet of course sandpaper around a coffee can and tape or anchor the can, on it's side, to the edge of your desk. Tie a snap to a 4 foot piece of each line and add two 8 oz. pyramid sinkers (Walmart) to each of the lines being tested, 40 lb. test (.30 mm) 4 carrier Power Pro. 40 lb. test (.32 mm) 8 carrier Power pro, 40 lb. (.33 mm) Sufix 832, 12 lb. test (.31 mm) Seaguar Red Label, 10 lb. test (.30 mm) Stren Original monofilament and 10 lb. test (.1 mm) Berkley Big Game. Using tape mark a 1 foot section of each line about 1 foot above the sinkers. Pass the 1 foot section of each line back and forth over the sandpaper counting the number of time each took before they broke. Start with your braided lines, then your fluorocarbon, and finally your monofilament lines. After the tests tell me which you think is best for fishing structure.

@CRCFISHIN 2 года назад

or with braid you can buy a penn and it comes standard with a superline spool. i run strait braid no backing. i use a flouro leader with a uni knot for abraision restistance and invisibility

@southernsalt 2 года назад

Yeah some reels come with that but I’ve also heard of people using a little bit of electrical tape on the spool yo get the braid to grab but I still error on the side of caution and put backing on everything.

@mlh1048 4 года назад

Nice video. What fishing line size do you prefer for Flounder?

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Hey man! It really just depends on how I plan to target flounder. If I’m fishing marsh 10 pound is plenty but if I’m fishing bridges or docks 20 pound is more appropriate to pull the fish out from the structure.

@neilstevenson7518 Год назад

Just picked up a new 2500 spinning reel for inshore in north FL. I got some 15 lb trilene 100% fluoro. You think I’ll have problems casting with it? Can you recommend a better line for 2500? Not trying to hunt monsters, don’t need it to be invisible with our dirty water, but still want some abrasion resistance. Thank you!

@southernsalt Год назад

Don’t use flouro on a spinning reel. It has to much line memory. Use 10 pound braid.

@marcpalacios2953 2 года назад

My baitcaster reel can put about 135 of 12 lb. Mono. How much of that 135 should I use for backing before braid? Should I use the same diameter braid as the mono? If I'm doing a carolina rig do I put the weight and bead on braid and then a swivel with fluorocarbon leader?

@southernsalt 2 года назад

Yeas that’s how I would do the Carolina rig. I use 10 pound on all my backing about 30 feet or so then braid.

Does the Mono Backing only apply to Baitcasters?

@southernsalt 4 месяца назад

It applies to spinning, conventional and bait casters

@Prone-Ski_BX Год назад

You don't need mono backing. All you have to do is put a little black tape on the spool. And add your braid line.

@TheSkymtb 3 года назад

What color line are you using?

@southernsalt 3 года назад

Moss green, sometimes white, sometimes black. Line color on braid really doesn’t matter.

@rufinogonzalez6020 3 года назад

Would you say fifteen pound braid is considered light tackle

@MichaelGarcia-gd9gs 3 года назад

No that’s considered pretty heavy tackle. Light tackle is considered 150 pound test and more hope that helps!

@ludwig6332 2 года назад

yeah I would say at the top of light , especially braid, always tougher in braid. 14-15 # braid is all around throw lures fresh or surf.

@brettgrubbs2626 4 года назад

Thank you great video... we are buying a place in Port O Connor and I have been reading and getting ready. I haven't' fished saltwater other than a party boat since 1999. P.S. Video opportunity and use the cards and end screen to link it for the mono backing. I have no idea what that is and you mentioned it several times and are sending me away from your channel. Make your video and keep us watching you!

@southernsalt 4 года назад

Ebay is your friend for braid

@rainbosprinkles6548 2 года назад

Love your channel so please dont take this as a disrespectful argument... What evidence do you have fluro is invisible or less detected by fish in water over mono? I would say this is marketing. 8 would say the only benefit to fluro over mono is its not hygroscopic and less stretch. Otherwise they are the same underwater and fluro is less abrasion resistant.
