Why choose monofilament fishing line
Monofilament fishing line (sometimes called mono line) has been a trusted option for decades and is one of our fishing bestsellers for anglers of all skill levels.
One of the main features of mono fishing line is its ability to absorb shocks. When a fish strikes hard, mono can absorb shocks much better than other types of line, making it ideal for catching powerful species. Because mono tends to float, it’s perfect for trolling live bait fishing or topwater fishing where you need your line to stay above the surface.
Tying secure knots with a monofilament line is easy. The natural stretch in mono makes knot tying a breeze and its impressive knot strength ensures fewer break-offs. Mono also has a reputation for being resistant to wear, making it a great leader-line material when fishing around rocks or heavy cover.
You can find mono fishing lines in various hues, from clear to high-visibility colours like neon. This colour range makes it easy to choose a line that suits the water conditions.
Whether you need clear for stealth or brighter hues for line watching, we stock a range of colourful mono lines from leading brands. Explore our range online or visit us in-store to find the right line for your next fishing adventure.
Mono line vs braided line and fluorocarbon
How does monofilament fishing line compare to other types like braid line or fluorocarbon? Here’s a quick look:
- Mono vs Braided Line — Braided line (or braid line) is known for being super strong and thin, which means it can cast farther and is more sensitive. However, mono line wins when it comes to shock absorption and knot strength. Mono can absorb shock, making it less likely to break under pressure compared to braid, which has no stretch.
- Mono vs Fluorocarbon — While fluorocarbon is almost invisible underwater, mono has a slight edge with its flexibility and affordability. Mono line offers a natural bounce back, whereas fluoro tends to be stiffer and less forgiving when tied in knots.
Choosing the right monofilament fishing line
To get the most out of your fishing experience, selecting the right monofilament line is key. A high shock rate monofilament fishing line is critical when targeting bigger fish. For smaller species, a lighter mono line will give you more sensitivity and finesse.
One of the best things about monofilament fishing line is its ability to work in both freshwater and saltwater, making it ideal for any fishing environment. Plus, the wide colour range means you can either blend into the water with clear mono or use bright colours for tracking, depending on your needs.
You don’t have to break the bank to get a high-quality mono line. Some of the most popular fishing lines are affordable, high-quality mono options that deliver excellent performance for the price. You’ll notice the subtle differences between premium brands when casting or fighting fish, but even budget-friendly mono options still offer solid results.
Maintaining your mono line
To ensure your mono fishing line stays in peak condition, proper care is a must. Always keep your fishing line in a cool, dry place to protect it from UV damage. Before each trip, inspect your fishing lines for any signs of wear, such as nicks or abrasions. Knots can weaken over time, so it’s important to re-tie your knots regularly to maintain maximum knot strength.
