Types of Fishing Lines – Pros and Cons – Fishing Line Basics
Basics of fishing lines for beginners – monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided lines. All of these lines have their strengths and weaknesses. Some are cheap and some are expensive. Braided lines are great for bass fishing with frogs or jigs, and mono or fluoro work better for certain lures or finesse applications. This video discusses the three main types of fishing line and the types of fishing that each one is best suited for.
My favorite types of lines are:
Braid – Sufix 832 https://alnk.to/60ZYen1
Monofilament – Berkley Trilene XL https://alnk.to/8tOzXNE
Fluorocarbon leader – Seaguar blue label https://alnk.to/cwS0wzJ

Nice to see your numbers ticking up on subs. Not surprising, you put out some great stuff! 👍
Hey, I saw you did a spinner reel tutorial and was wondering if you were going to do a bait caster tutorial. I got one for my birthday last year and first cast bird nested the thing and haven’t used it since
Just recently tried braided on my ultralight, with about 6 ft flourocarbon leader. Casts great, has little if any memory, and I’m surprised at how strong it is. 👍
I don’t understand how can anyone like monofilement. It’s just bad
Can’t believe I found this guy. He’s fishing my exact rod and is giving a video shot of every single type. So finesse love u bro 🥶 best content
You really did nail all the pros & cons of the different line materials. I use braid with fluoro leaders, but I will have to try the Trilene XL mono, now. Thanks.
As always, the greatest. Have you done a video on all the different hook types yet?
Follow your heart, always! ❤️
The BEST informational fishing youtuber!
Excellent video. Clear and straight to the point.
Great video with some great information! Thanks so much for sharing! Keep doing what you do buddy! #FishingwithNat rocks!
This video is gold.
young me with a 40lbs braided line for bluegill💀
I am at the point of using a leader with Texas rig plastics. Braided with lures and spinnerbaits. They cost too much to lose.
This x was SUPER helpful and really well done!! Thank you!
I’m late so not sure if you’ll see this but the area i fish has mostly soft weedy bottom with thick weeds on the edge of the water that I barely cast into, what would you think I should get 8 or 4 strand braid?
Thank you!!
Titanium leaders are just the best for bigger lures and murky water. Fluorocarbon for smaller fish and clear water imo. Leader wise. Braid is main line
Another type of line that you might want to give a try is Gliss Monotex. It’s very similar to braid (high molecular weight, 0% stretch, no memory), but is even thinner. It is not a woven line like braid, so it’s smooth like mono. So slick in fact, that knots can slip if you’re not careful. It casts incredibly well, but is even less abrasion resistant that braid, so a fluoro leader is a must. It’s also a lot cheaper than braid.
I really like it, but it takes some getting used to. Very weird line 😀
Babe wake up the new fishing with nat video came out! ❤️
Youre rtarded or what? types of fishings lines but no where in the video has fluorocarbon
Here in Montana l have caught over 800 trout on the same spool of Trilene 4lb. XL line. It casts beautifully and with very little memory. Outstanding line.
What about Copolymer?
Yes short and informative show, it helps a lot 👍again for more complex study you folks can refer to >https://youtu.be/N76CMSsaBnI , a fellow angler conducted 725 tests to check and compare, Nat instead showed a quick and practical video to guide all of us to pick a right tool👍👌
Simple and to the point. Thank you!
I got myself 30lb braided and 40 lb fluoro cause the braided was as thick as my mono was but way stronger and stiffer then a fluoro leader cause it protects against abbrasion as i plan on shore jigging on crete and it’s quite rocky
This might be a stupid question, but what is the benefit of braid if you put a weaker leader on it? Doesn’t that negate it’s strengths?
What length of fluorocarbon leader would you recommend if I were to attach it to braid?
Great info!!!!! Thanks
Your videos are superb, especially for novice fisherman like myself. You explain things perfectly without a lot of unnecessary repetition and irrelevant digressions that plague most channels. Great discussion of line types. One question: What line type and strength would you recommend for someone new to a baitcaster reel going after largemouth and stripers in northern California? I am particularly interested in your thoughts about line type that is likely to produce the fewest backlashes. Thanks.
Love the video it helped me so much. What gloves do you have?
fluorocarbon strech more than monofilament, but it takes more strenght to stretch it, and fluorocarbon damages more than monofilament, because fluorocarbon is brittle
