Get In Line ... Facts On Fishing Line You Need To Know

Story By Bob Carr

Fishing line, especially for the inshore angler, can sometimes be confusing. There are so many options in color, size, and make. Add the leader, and you open another chapter of even more confusion. It gets worse when you start to hear the opinions of other fishermen. Nearly every skilled angler has a rock-solid opinion on which fishing line and leader work best. To sift through all the opinions, options, and confusion, we turned to Saltwater Angler & Sportsman’s contributing angler, Bob Carr, for his perspective. Bob is a former U.S. Open King Mackerel Champion and an accomplished inshore fisherman. He’s best known for his attention to detail and meticulous planning—traits that many of us lack. Bob has graciously shared his detailed knowledge and simplified the topic of “fishing line.” Today, he talks about fishing line for “Speckled Trout Fishing.”
