James RickardSome line information

Good line is invaluable to fishing success. In fact, I'll go as far as to say good line can make up for other equipment deficiencies. The best line will not turn you into a tournament angler but it can help in other areas. For instance, I don't shell out big bucks for rods. However, I do buy the best line I can get and match that up with a good reel. In fact, I have a reel I'm not too crazy about but with quality line, I'm certainly not going to try and sell the reel at a swap meet.
Too many people equate "good line" with "expensive line." Generally speaking, you'll pay more for braided line or fluorocarbon line than mono-filament. BUT you don't always need these "super lines." Knowing what line is for and what it does can make selecting line a bit easier. At the risk of sounding cheap, you have to ask yourself, “What’s the use of paying for premium line if I'm not going to get the most out of it?”
No matter what kind of line you ultimately choose, one problem you often run into with cheap line is memory. This is where the line conforms to the shape of the spool its on. This can be a real mess when you buy line that maintains the shape of the manufacturer’s spool. You will often find this in “no name” bargain lines that turn up at gas stations and convenience stores.
