Micro Line

As we fish more and more of these micro baits as the winter season approaches us, these are very light lures and baits and the line we use is as well. In most applications we are using 2 pound line and that has been very sufficient with no problems on breakage in fighting a fish using this light line. We have caught bass up to 4 pounds and you have to play them with the rod and reel but the line strength is enough to get them to your hand. When the bite becomes very finicky, we will also go to 1 pound line and this allows the bait to flow and act more naturally in the water to these negative biting fish. The only recommendation that we suggest is that you need to be careful where the excess line lays or goes as this line is very limber and can tangle very easily. Using ultra light spinning reels solves a lot of these issues and keeps track of your line so that this doesn’t happen. When tightening the knot on your bait just be a little careful as if you pull to hard the line does break with to much force.
