Line and Leader

We're expanding our offerings a bit. So, it's a good time to move some of the larger  manufacturers onto their own page. This should speed up page loading for you, and allow more room to expand your selection.   PLine, Izorline, given their wide range of products will each get their own page.  Ande, Berkley and Seaguar will share some space.  We're also making some additions to the line offerings.  First off, PLine's CXX prices have dropped here at CharkBait.  We have earned a reputation for low prices for good reason, and we intend on keeping it that way.

Fishing Lines (mono, copolymer and Spectra), Fluorocarbon Leader...

Before we get started, let's go over options.  Monofilament fishing line has been around a long time now.  It's good stuff! It's generally supple, hard to see by fish, and economical.  Recently some manufacturers have introduced a copolymer line.  It's benefit is less stretch than standard mono.  That provides better feel for the angler, and greater reliability when fishing under tougher conditions.  Both the copolymer and mono products get bit well, with the copolymer doing a bit better in terms of maintaining line test after you've taken a few fish and given the line the opportunity to get worked (meaning potential for stretch and reduced test strength). 

Next up we have woven lines, the old standby dacron and newer Spectra.  Dacron has long been used as a backing.  It's durable, and has almost zero stretch.  Bottom fishing, sharking, and use as a backing are it's primary strengths.  It will degrade over time.  I'd suggest replacing your dacron every other year.  Spectra differs from the dacron by being something you'll keep on the reel for up to 10 years or even more.  I say ten years based upon current experience...time flies, make that 12.  We just don't have enough long term use beyond that point to make a claim.  It's very skinny compared to mono or dacron.  So, it's a great tool for use as backing.  It shares dacron's zero stretch characteristics, so many anglers are using it for deep water fishing. 

The third line innovation we've seen recently is fluorocarbon leader.  Due to it's specific density it's virtually invisible to fish.  This material has been used for a few years now, and it works.  In a wide open bite it's no great advantage.  But, when things get picky it's a proven commodity.

We are now offering professional and consumer grade line winders.  These are not cheap, but they're the way to go if you like doing things yourself, operate a charter boat, or have a need for considerable spooling. We've also added Momoi mono and braided Spectra lines to our mix.
