Decided to upload a video of the fishing line pound test I use for catfish, bass, crappie, walleye, bluegill, trout, and carp. Hope this helps! Good Luck Fishing and feel free to subscribe!
I know these videos are 6 years old but just know young man that you continue to help people with these vids every day. I appreciate you and your effort to educate
I was looking for info on different line test strength.. when I saw your face on the thumbnail I knew my question would get answered. Your videos are awesome man, you give so much relevant info and you do it fast! Most informative fish youtuber I have seen. I expect you are going to be a youtube fishing star in no time. I'll be following!
I have been fishing for Lingcod and Rockfish with that Berkley Big Game for as long as they have made it and I have tried others even braided and I keep going back to Big Game. It just works. Also I will tell ya with all the snags in bottom fishing when you break your line it is way easier to see and tie the monofilament line than braided at least for me.
This is kind of funny . I just tried searching around trying to find a video about 25 pound fluorocarbon being used as main line for trophy catfish and this video came up every time.
I would have doubted this but I did the same thing last week for the first time. I never even felt the bite at all. I reeled in my line to recast and there was a bluegill on the hook. The worm on the hook was longer than he was lol
For lakes I tend to use real light line n it seems to work great for a lot of species , on my media rod I use 6lb main line and 2-4 lb test letter line with great results, I just want to catch anything so I tend to go for lighter line and its more fun and challenging to bring in bigger fish with light line On my light or ultra light rod I use under 4lb test with a 2 lb letter Give it a try maybe you guys will enjoy the challenge! My personal record is just over 9lb bass on 2lb test and 13lb catfish on 2lb test
Pho TWENTY . wow thats sum great angling techniques man. but have to play the fish very well for that. takes skills! I use 8 pound zenco omniflex line and hardly break off now for ponds👌
+David Um 6lb flouro will do. Flouro is the best line type for trout because it doesn't reflect much light making it harder for the fish to see. 4lb may a little better, but 6lb will definitely work
Leader is a waste of time and money and nonsense. U ever seen a world record catched by this stuff? Nope it's old timers just using regular line rod and reels
@@skldezigns no it’s not I can catch them up to 14 lb mono and 20 lb fluro but those are clear line when I use even 6lb line by it’s self they won’t even take it or consider it
so im wondering if i made a decent "covers all" decision....ive been out of the fishin game for like 7-8 years and when i was in i maunly fished for either cat with a heavy set or bluegills with a 6lb set....but now im in to more or less whatevers jumpin i want to have a chance of catchin it but i dont have the mobey to have two or three reels goin....so i relibed my open face with some 12lb trilene thinkin that any decent size bass that nabs my bait should be no prob for it but at the same time when im just bluegill fishin it seems like since its a nice pale blue mono line it should suffice ok for those too....was trying to find, like i said a "covers all" for panfish, bass, crappie and maybe even some smaller cats....does a 12lb line sound like a decent wieght or too much when it comes to anything but bass luring....?
I think 10-12lb test is good for all purpose fishing in the midwest if you had to use one pole with one lb test line. Bluegills, bass, and channel catfish ( three very common fish stocked in most Midwest ponds and lakes) will all be very catch able on 12lb test.
and we have some big ass cats here in the resevoirs here in indy...eagle creek has some 20-30 lb cats in the main reservoir section...but I stay out of there lol...
You know I'm still skeptical whether different line strengths actually improve the chance of hooking up all that much. I catch blue gill all day with 20 lb green monofilament line. And over my years of experience, I've just learned to use heavier line because I've lost so many bigger fish to weaker lb line that it drives me insane to know that if I only had stronger line I would have got them. I've caught a bass, had a trout bite on 20 lb line, sunnies, pearch, all that junk. Fishing at dusk for bluegill is one of my favorite fishing trips just to feel good and accomplished because I nearly always hook up. They bite like crazy at that time and I've found a few honey holes for them. I caught like 8 bluegill in a half hour once with 20 lb line. It's very difficult for me to take advice on angling because there is so much art to it instead of science, which only increases my skepticism of all the different products because I haven't found data to show if they really work or not. It always feels like a gamble when using fishing products. Gambling may have been fun when I was 8-10 years old fishing up on the lake for the summer, but now I'm much older and I actually am interested in catching some big fish. From what I've learned so far over my years of fishing, the most important factors for catching is timing (as in time of day), place, and just time spent fishing. I know the pros on TV at least use different line, and it's something I've been thinking about switching to, so maybe I'll give it a try. Thank you for explaining what you use though.
I think if you are loosing fish on 20 lb mono, there is something wrong other than the line. I saw a video of a guy landing a 35 lb carp on 2 lb mono. It took him half an hour and perfect drag settings, but he did it. Good luck.
hey hai that is good information can u make a vide on fishing rods and reels which is good for what kind of fishing if i want to catch a 30 kg r 67 pound fish can any one help me out
Mohd Imthiyaz ...go for ugly stick gx2 or bigwater...they are nice...strong and durable And u can have a reel from shimano daiwa kastking....for one time investment check out uglystick gx2 and kastking sharky 3/daiwa baitfeeder
Fuck all of you guys, I found out the hard way when first putting on my 35 pound test that it was so big that even a hint of slack and I would get a giving huge knot
I'm not trying to knock u but 50 lbs and higher u only need for saltwater catching huge fish 50 lb will drag in a ginormous shark and if that was true for catching trout on 4 lb line I just want to ask u have u seen a fly fish line? It's thicker then 50 lb double fold line does not scare a fish and 30 lb for catfish ain't even giving them a chance, no bass rod should have over 12 lb. If u r catching that many huge bass I'd like to know ur secret not knocking u just ur exaggerating a few things I knew it was gonna be this way when I clicked the video, most r. Everybody slaying fish bc they r scared why don't we all just use a steel cable and forget line. A person set a record catching a 700 lb blue marlin on 6 lb line just goes to show u drag is ur most important tool
Wes Helton . well said my man i use 8 pound cheap line all day for all size fish in ponds but i also use leaders with swivels. this people wana have a specific setup for every species but overkill i say👌
wow this is so werid I get 5inch to 15inch crappie on6lb test and I use 10lb mono with a braid mainline and I get 5lb bass on my bluegill rods with 2lb custom made braid
