About 98 percent of so called UL anglers in the USA have no clue about line. When I start my videos back up I plan on doing a line video...going in a little different direction. One of my pet peeves is US market lines. Hope you're out finding tons of fish.

Another interesting deep-dive video. "Back in the days" I would often go rather "safe than sorry" with breaking strength but really there is so much better performance and more fun in fishing thinner lines with lures.

Always love your no bs explanations

Excellent analysis! Definitely eye opening how much further a lure flies breaking off on a cast - no weight of line to pull, no friction from spool lip or guides, etc.

Very informative video. I just spooled up my shimano today with that varivas super trout 3lb. Man what a difference casting the 1g bg1 👍. I also have the 2.5lb im going to try on another reel. Keep the awesome content coming!

Very interesting and eye opening video.

Thats what I do nowadays after first hand experiencing the benefits of a thinner line. Pay close attention to the line diameter more than the line strength rating

Another very informative video! I went to a slightly larger diameter line last year. Not because of the fish, but the weeds. Lost WAAAAAY too many BG-1's while trying to de-snag from the weeds after the fish gets me all wrapped up. My cast distance took a hit but oh well

Thank you for making this video It was great for me personally really helps me out alot.

Thank you for your videos can you make one to show us how you spool your thiner line to spinning reels thanks

Always learning. Thank you!

I landed a 32lbs asian carp below the Red Rock dam in Pella, IA with a 6lbs mono line. It took almost 30 minutes, I traveled about 75yds along the rocky banks down the river but he tired out before I did. The net used to land him bent at the handle, the jig with a Mister Twister that hooked him on the lips was bent so bad I'm surprised he didn't get off. I'm more surprised he took the jig because I thought asian carps were vegetarians or ate plankton. Just sharing to say that part of the fun of fishing is the fight to land the fish.

Interesting analysis ❤

Great stuff!

Good as always! Did you make a video about how to fish with 2 lbs line already, or is it scheduled next?

great and educational video, thanks for that. by the way, I much prefer monofilaments, but at sea you still need something stronger, which is braid. it really annoys me when I have to connect the braid with mono/FC in the dark, but what's there is. I use daiwa J braid 0.06 mm and I'm satisfied, I think it's the best buy under 20 euros.

Excellent explanation. Have you ever done a casting comparison?

The 😺 tried to attack your cursor on the TV screen 😂😂. Thanks for sharing. I landed a 28" carp a couple weeks ago on 2 pound trout magnet SOS , that line has been really easy to work with. What do you recommend for a 2 pound mono? I have went back and forth on trying ester line but I think since I mostly fish after working all night that I would get frustrated with it

Hello victor, I really enjoy your educational videos. It would be great if you can explain what the lettering on reels mean for example Shimano vanquish 1000ssspgs, c2000s or c2000shg, ci4, or Daiwa sf, sp, lt etc.

Hey Victor, great stuff! Though i have some thoughts. Regarding the water drag, the contact between the line and the water should depend on the surface area of the line and thus the circumference. This means that the water drag is directly proportional to the line diameter (linear relationship). Please correct me if i am wrong!

The strength is directly proportional to cross section area.

Do you have tutorials on how to twitch lures like jig head? Thank you.

Thank you for the informative video! What diameter and breaking strength braid would you recommend for freshwater UL fishing targeting trout and perch? I have some Berkley Fireline but this is 0.12 mm and 16lb test, therefore presumably not quite apt.

2lb Vanish is .006in or .15mm. 110 yards was like $6.00. Low stretch and casts great! Knock on it in reviews is breaking strength and easily gets nicked on sharp rocks etc. I’ve loved it on casting reels, it never backlashes. Floating soft plastic allows me to throw a heavier lead head which casts further, but doesn’t drop to the bottom so fast. I wonder if you see that difference between trout magnet and Z-man creature baits cast on same jig head, same line.

I think that you would enjoy a channel called "The Line Laboratory". They have a great setup to test and verify the manufacturer reported specs, as well as things like shape of line. Surprisingly, most of the lines they test aren't circular.

I wonder if the KK line is actually 5 lb test based on the cross section. I wonder how accurate the break rating really is...

What is difference nylon and polyester line. What is better in terms of less memory and good breaking strength in the varivas line in 12-15 lb range?

What do you use for leader size when you're using 0.104mm?

Do you have a favorite fishing line that's stayed the same for the last few years? An old faithful? Or a brand that you haven't found a bad line from?

do you use braid or just stick with mono/ester/floro ? not familiar with freshwater from what you fish most

Lucky you are using varivas for examples bevaise pretty much all other manufacturers are lying about their diameters. You are basicslly talking about tensile strength, we can hardly nake informed decisions be ause most comoanies are inaccurstely claiming whier diameters and breaking strains. Apart from Vsrivas its almost bot worth thinking about so I stick to varivas when I want quality.

🤓👍

40% is nothing 😢😢😢

May I say that Z-man plastic, which floats, rectifies the issue of weight to a degree because it offsets the lead head and allows me to cast farther….. you get it. Good insight. Btw,, Why does Vanish get a bad rap? I love it

So, the labels are misleading because people don't understand math 😊 the actual difference would be much more intuitive if they listed cross sectional area for sure. I finally stopped using this garbage Berkley Vanish as my leader material after i found better fly tippet thats vastly skinnier for the same strength. The Vanish is fine and caught me plenty of fish, but youre never maximizing your stealth setup using that fat timber for a leader.

Great video I like your analysis! Most people, including myself, wouldn’t think about the volume. While researching fishing line, I learned that a lot of line in the US has incorrectly labeled breaking strength. European and Japanese manufacturers have standards they must follow and have to provide the actual breaking strength of their line but in the US we have no such standards. I’m not an experienced fisher but after researching this I’m curious how many lines have the wrong strength listed and how much diameter and volume effect the strength of a line.
