I have had the opportunity to use many different monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing lines. I use each type of line for their specific characteristics: mono when I want some stretch; fluoro for the “sink” and ability to be “invisible” in water; and braid for its sensitivity, strength, and durability. For the longest time I used “PowerPro” braid, then tried “Vicious” braid. I loved them both, but I have found the braid that for me now sets the standard - PowerPro’s new “Super 8 Slick”.
As kayak anglers I feel that it is our responsibility to help conserve the areas in which we fish. This includes the wildlife affected by our activities on the water. So as the New Year approaches I wanted to encourage you to make a New Years Resolution to will help the wildlife that we affect.
