Momoi’s Hi Catch monofilament is our top pick for most anglers because we’ve found it to be the most memory-free, tangle-resistant, and user-friendly fishing line around.
Why does my fishing line always tangle?
Slack fishing line is a big culprit when it comes to line tangles. As you reel in slack line, this creates loose coils on your spool. When you cast, these loose coils will come off the spool quickly compared to the line around it, causing the coils to overlap on themselves as they leave the reel and tangle up.
What fishing line has the least memory?
Braided line
If you want a line that has little to no memory, the KastKing SuperPower Braided line is your best bet. It never spiraled off the spool and was straight as an arrow even after weeks on the reel. With its classic monofilament construction, the Berkley Trilene XL also proved strong in this metric.
Does braided line tangle less than monofilament?
Braided fishing line has no memory, which means less casting tangles than monofilament fishing line. Braided also has 0 stretch and is tougher to cut, leading to a higher quality hook set and less worries of line breaks. When fishing Lake Trout and choosing which type of line to use it really comes down to technique.
Why is my line unspooling?
1. You Put Too Much or Too Heavy of Line on Your Spool. The biggest culprit for why your fishing line unravels and falls off the spool is there simply isn’t enough space for it in the first place.If you overfill your spool, your fishing line won’t stay as tight and will unravel on its own.

Which fishing line has the most memory?
Fluorocarbon fishing lines have the highest line memory compared to other fishing lines in the market.
Should I use monofilament or fluorocarbon?
Over the long term, fluorocarbon is extremely resistant to the elements as well, unlike monofilament. Overtime, U.V. rays, rain and humidity, and extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) can cause monofilament to break down and lose strength. Fluorocarbon is much more resistant to these conditions over the long term.
Which is better braid or mono?
Braided lines are durable and more resistant to wear than mono lines. They are also better suited to deep-water fishing as they’re simultaneously thinner and heavier, cutting through the water to reach the bottom faster.It might take some getting used to for novice anglers to knot braided lines.
Does braided line deteriorate?
Braided line, when treated properly, can be used in the water for years. Monofilament and fluorocarbon do, however, come with what you might call a “shelf life.” Like meat and produce, even if you put it in the refrigerator, these lines will eventually go bad, even if they haven’t been taken out of the packaging.
Is mono or braid better for Baitcasters?
Mono holds knots better and costs less than braid. It also works better on smaller bait-casting reels because light braid can dig into itself.
Why does my baitcaster reel keep getting tangled?
Backlashes occur when your lure slows down during or after a cast, but the spool keeps spinning, which results in a tangled mess of line. Today’s baitcasters feature sophisticated braking systems and anti-backlash mechanisms that make it easier for anyone to cast without experiencing line overruns.
How do I keep my spinning reel tight?
Run the line through the guides on the rod to the reel with the bail open and tie it tightly to the spool. If you use a regular overhand square knot, pass the end through twice instead of just once – it will help keep the line tight on the spool. Close the bail.
Does fluorocarbon line twist?
While fluorocarbon lines look and feel similar to monofilament they are different in many ways. For example, fluorocarbon lines tend to resist twist even more than monofilament, which can make them more difficult to manage when used on a spin reel – especially in heavier pound tests.
What is the tab on a spinning reel?
So where’d my fly go? Duh! The worst, though, is all the years I’ve wrestled with that little tab on most spinning-reel spools that’s designed to hold the line end in storage. The tab is recessed in the spool’s side and hard to reach.
Do you need to soak fishing line before spooling?
Always prior to spooling up with mono, leave your line submerged in a bucket of warm water. This will allow the water to soak into the line helping not only when you come to wind the line on but also allowing the line to bed down property on your spool.
Why is my lure spinning?
It is really quite simple. If the end of the line – the bait, lure or fly end – can rotate around its own axis, line-twist will work its way up the line. The more line out from the reel the further the twist will work its way up the line. Using swivels that do not swivel is a good method of building line-twist.
What fluorocarbon line has the least memory?
Sunline Super FC Sniper features a triple resin coating for improved limpness, handling, and abrasion resistance, and the result is a truly superior cast for fluorocarbon. It also gives this line very low memory, and we’d even think about running it on a spinning reel as a result.
