Hello again
Time for idiots guide to fishing question 3
When loading up with line, i know there is no 'all round' line that i can use on all venus at all times, and it has been mentioned that it matters as to what you are after as to what line you use
The problem facing me, is that i dont know what i will be after lol, if i turn up at a particular still water or stretch of river virgin to me how am i supposed to know what is in there heh (yes i do realise i could phone ahead - but lets get real here, i am a bloke after all lol)
So, what i need is a beginners guide to choosing line really, what would you suggest for still waters, stretches of river for trotting or ledger work.
Would you generally use 6lb line or is that wayyyy too OTT for some fish and will spook them?, should i use 4lb as standard with weaker or stronger hooklengths
Which brings me to another question, hooklengths - whats the point lol, as far as i can tell you use a weaker line, doesnt this degrade the overall landing power of your rig?
It all boils down to 2 questions:
1) if i have 3 spools with my reel, what 3 line weights would you choose, my initial thoughts are 4lb, 6lb, 8lb depending upon conditions with 6lb being my general line... but as you have probably gathered i have no clue, im just going on gut feelings...
2) Hooklengths... whats the point...?
