Hi all,
Relatively new to fishing and have a question for you. I have been having trouble with my line becoming twisted, as it seems it is constantly "jumping" off the reel when I'm casting, leaving it to become a tangled mess.
I have been doing some reading online about line and reel combos, but have not been able to come to a general conclusion. I have been thinking about going to a braided line as I read it is less prone to tangles as it has little to zero memory. I mostly fish trout and bass in small to medium sized lakes.
Here are the specs of my reel and current line:
Spinning Reel: lb(kg) - yrds (m) 6(2.7) - 210(190) 8(3.6) - 170 (155)
DIA (mm) - m 0.25 - 190 0.28 - 155
Line: Monofilament - DIA 0.30mm - 10lbs test - Sufix Pro Select
I guess my question would be: What type of line should I be using? Dia and test? Do I need a leader?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
