Beginners to fishing need to have a basic understanding of fishing lines. Especially when buying fishing lines, some novices don’t understand words such as Dao system and sub system very well. Also, when browsing some articles on fishing techniques on the Internet, you will also encounter some terms related to fishing lines, such as water lines, wind lines, etc. The following is an introduction to common terms related to fishing lines.
Main line: also known as big line, bus line and channel system, it plays the role of connecting the fishing rod and the eight-shaped ring in the line group configuration. The main line is generally colored, mainly to increase the proportion of the main line to achieve better water cutting performance (so-called The water-cutting property means that after the main line is thrown into the water, the main line can be straightened so that the main line can cut into the water quickly. Generally, competitive fishing in Taiwan has relatively high requirements for the water-cutting property of the main line). Several criteria to measure the quality of the main line: water cutting, tensile strength, memory, etc.
Sub-line: Also known as sub-line, the sub-line is mainly used to tie the hook. The main line is generally transparent, mainly to reduce the alertness of the fish. The standards for measuring the quality of the sub-line include winding resistance, tension, softness, etc. .
Generally, when configuring the line group, try to use the same brand of fishing line for the main line and sub-line. Since the fishing line tension value of each brand is different, improper configuration of the main line and sub-line may cause the main line to break if a big fish is encountered while fishing.
Waterline: The fishing line is divided by the buoy. Due to the relationship between the weight of the sinker, hook, bait and the buoyancy of the buoy, the part of the fishing line between the hook and the buoy that is submerged in water and sinks into the water is called the "waterline". The waterline consists of some main lines and sub-lines.
Wind line: When fishing, the section of large line floating in the water from the tip of the pole to the main line of the buoy before entering the water is called the wind line. The wind line is composed of part of the main line.
