What kind of fishing can you do in Hawaii?

What is the best kind of fishing line to for bass fishing with a spinning reel?

  • I'm realatively new to fishing and I was just wanting some help and thanks in advance for any info.

  • Answer:

    If you have been to a sporting goods store or walmart you probably have noticed there is a WHOLE BUNCH of different line manufacturers out there. Most of the major brands sponsor a professional fisherman who uses their line (for free) They get to use his boat and clothing for advertisement. So most of them are pretty good, or the pro wouldn't be using it. It's just a matter of choice which company you go with, but the size or lb test is determined by what kind of fishing your doing or how big your reel is. I use a line that is called POWER PRO, it is a braided line. I can spool up a heavier lb test (20 lb) and it's actual size compares to a 8 lb test mono-filament line. It handles the same as the smaller line and is more sensitive to the bite like the smaller line. It is VERY tough, you need scissors to cut it a sharp knife can do it but not as easy as scissors. The down side is if it gets a knot, you might as well cut it out because it is extremely difficult to untie or untangle it. I have some friends who swear by it, and some friends who swear at it and will not use it at all.

I use Trilene, but really anything will work. You could try 8 pound test, to start. The pound test will depend on if you are fishing in open water, or where there is cover for the fish, like weeds. If you are fishing weed, you might want a little heavier line, since you will get snagged a bit there. Also, if you hook one in the weeds, then the fish will probably swim around those weeds, thus you will need more line strength to get them out.

I prefer Gamma High Performance Co-Polymer Line. It's a little hard to find in stores, but online go to Cabelas.com. Get the right line weight that applys for your reel and the type of fish you are going for.

On my spinning reels I use Trilene Extra Smooth Casting in 12lbs Low Vis Green...it works well for me...but you do have to have a "back" to get rid of line twists...I only use my spinning reel for Shakey Heads/Spot Stickers and weightless flukes....I use my bait casters for everything else...
