Size refers to the wire diameter. Commonly used fishing line models are: No. 0.4 (wire diameter 0.104 mm), No. 0.6 (0.128 mm), No. 0.8 (0.148 mm), No. 1 (0.165 mm), No. 1.2 (0.185 mm), No. 1.5 (0.205 mm), No. 2 (0.235 mm), No. 2.5 (0.260 mm), No. 3 (0.285 mm), No. 3.5 (0.310 mm), No. 4 (0.330 mm), 5 No. (0.370mm).

When you buy fishing line in a fishing gear store, you may find that there are various types of fishing line. The trademarks indicate domestic, joint venture, imported from abroad, etc. The price of fishing line is several hundred yuan per plate, which is cheap. There are fishing lines that cost a few yuan a piece, and the packaging is full of dazzling things, which dazzles buyers. Of course, there must be good quality fishing lines, and there are also average or poor quality fishing lines.

Although the price difference is a simple way to choose the quality of fishing line, the price of fishing line on the market is very irregular, and the phenomenon of substandard quality often occurs. The true quality of the fishing line cannot be identified only from the price and outer packaging. Only the following aspects can be used to identify the quality of the fishing line.

①Look at the line

When you get the fishing line, first check whether the packaging instructions and data indicators meet the standards. Then open the outer package for visual inspection. No matter what color the fishing line is, the surface of the line must be shiny (except braided line), the transparent line cannot have color, and the colored line cannot turn white. If there is any color that does not match the original color of the line, If color appears in the fishing line (except when it is colored during production), there must be something wrong with the quality of the fishing line.

In addition, find an end of a standard fishing line and compare it with the fishing line you want to buy, and see if the number of the wire diameter is the same or close, there is not much difference, or the wire diameter is the same, then the fishing line is still the same. However, if the difference is large, it is definitely not a good fishing line, because some inferior lines can only maintain a certain pulling force by increasing the line diameter.

②Feel the line

When purchasing fishing line, first pull out a section of the line, gently stroke it with your fingers, and check by feel to see whether the thickness of the fishing line is uniform and whether the surface is smooth. smooth. Then put the fishing line into the palm of your hand, squeeze it slightly, and then release your palm to check how the fishing line recovers after being stressed. If it quickly returns to its original state in a short time, it is a fishing line of better quality. If it recovers well, If the thread is very slow or cannot be restored to its original state at all, it must be an inferior thread.

In addition, a good fishing line should be very soft, especially soft lines used as sub-lines, which have many benefits. When the diameter of the fishing line is the same, the softer the better.

③Trial

Trying the fishing line while fishing is the most effective identification method. During fishing, after the fishing line is soaked in water, you can test its water absorption. The surface of the fishing line is rough, the density of the materials used to make the line is not enough, and the waterproof protective layer is not effective. During use, the fishing line will absorb water. Once the fishing line absorbs water, the sensitivity of the line group will decrease, affecting the normal transmission of fish floods. , a good fishing line should not absorb water.

Whether it is wear-resistant is also one of the criteria for measuring the quality of fishing lines. Some line sets require some small accessories (such as floating seats, etc.), which need to be adjusted repeatedly during the fishing process. These accessories attached to the fishing line must often rub the fishing line up and down during adjustment. If the quality of the fishing line is not good, , it will soon fluff or bifurcate, affecting the original pulling force of the fishing line.

In addition, after the fishing line is knotted, the higher the strength and the better the quality. When fishing, the line group needs to tie a knot on the fishing line as needed. Generally, the fishing line is knotted. At any point, the tensile strength will decrease, and the degree of reduction of good quality fishing line is limited. The fishing line of poor quality may drop to less than 30% of the tension value before knotting. Therefore, when trying it out, tie a knot and gently Pull to check the strength.

④Maintenance

1. After each fishing, the water on the fishing line should be wiped clean with a dry cloth in time, because the water quality of fishing waters has many components, including a certain amount of of oil, salt, alkali, acid and other ingredients. If the water containing these ingredients is not wiped dry, the fishing line will suffer corrosion and lose its strength.

2. Gently wrap the clean fishing line around the reel, and try to make the fishing line as loose as possible. Do not tighten it, because long-term stress will cause the fishing line to lose its original elasticity.

3. It is better to use round reels. Square reels have right angles on all four sides. If placed for a long time, the strength of the bending point of the fishing line will decrease, and the released fishing line will The lines are all angular.

4. All fishing lines should be stored in a dry, light-free and pollution-free place to avoid moisture, deterioration and aging.

5. When you go fishing, do not put the reel with fishing line together with other debris to avoid scratching the fishing line, and do not put it with grease.

6. If you find that the color of the fishing line has changed, faded, turned yellow, or become brittle, it means that the fishing line has aged or started to age, and should be replaced in time. Do not leave a broken line by chance. Hidden dangers of fish
