Fishing line is the direct connection between you, your rig and the fish. Choosing the right line improves casting, bite detection and control during the fight. At De Goeie Vangst, you will find dependable lines in original manufacturer packaging for a wide range of techniques.
Which fishing line suits your fishing?
The main types are monofilament, braided line, fluorocarbon and fly line. Monofilament is affordable, easy to knot and has useful stretch. Braid offers exceptional strength at a low diameter and almost no stretch, giving excellent bite detection. Fluorocarbon is abrasion resistant and less visible underwater, making it a popular leader material. Fly lines use a specialised taper and weight to cast artificial flies.
Monofilament, braid and fluorocarbon
Monofilament cushions sudden runs and is a versatile choice for many coarse, carp and predator techniques. Braided line gives direct contact and helps with long-range fishing, but a mono or fluorocarbon leader can add abrasion resistance around rocks and snags. Fluorocarbon is stiffer than standard nylon, sinks well and is particularly useful in clear water.
Choosing line colour
High-visibility yellow or orange line makes it easier to track your line, especially at range or after dark. Subtle colours blend into many venues, while clear fluorocarbon is useful for wary fish in clear water. Your leader material can be selected separately to suit the target species and conditions.
What to check before buying fishing line
Compare breaking strain, diameter, abrasion resistance, stretch, buoyancy and casting performance. Pike and catfish demand stronger tackle than roach or perch, while fishing near snags calls for extra abrasion resistance. Always match the line to your reel capacity, rod and intended technique.
