Just something to think about Tyler as somebody who primarily fishes very dirty water. I think it would make for an interesting convo with AJ to be honest. In dirty water we are taught to throw black & blue because the bass can pick it up better. Most of us who throw braid throw some version of dark green. Does dark green really stand out any less than black and blue? Just some food for thought.
I caught a 25 inch pike on 10lb mono on a spinning rod reeled him in no problem if I had braid I really think I would have pulled the lure out of its mouth.
Great content brother as always love the info you share with us it definitely helps thank you for all the time and effort you put into educating us and helping to become better anglers 🇺🇲🤘👍🔥🎣💯💯👊
To have a better result and more consistent, you should have used a scale and apply the same pressure. Example, make a knot at 15 and 30 feet, put 10lbs of pressure using the scale and then mark where you are at. That should give you a better comparison between lines. Of course, if you use different line strength, that should influence your results.
In theory, if you get 2ft of stretch from 15ft of mono then you should get 4ft at 30ft. I think what’s happening here is that you’re using the same segment of line fo both the 15ft and and 30ft test and because you already stretched out the first 15ft, you only get 2ft (additional to the 2ft you already stretched) when you do the 30ft test.
As far as i can tell from all the videos all 3 are great it just depends on your situation i hear one person say flurocarbon has the most abrasion resistance only to hear in the next mono is best I use all three and i love big game trilene mono never let me down ever no matter what type of bait im using so i do favor mono over fluro
Luke Kinser since he is geared towards beginners and teaching people I think he just wanted to go over the big 3 rather than getting into specific copolys and other type of stuff
Hi there. Question. How much line do you need to fill up on your spool? To the brim or less? Have seen many videos and it seems to be all over the place with different anglers, not explaining it just observing their spools. Would be nice to have a video to just talk about this. I liked this one and want to use braid + fluoro leader but I am too new and want to keep it simple for now and will use Trilene XL 12lb low-vis green for now.
Well it’s your lucky day, cause I’ve made a video about that! th-cam.com/video/r4esGgPPhxI/w-d-xo.html Whenever you have a fishing question or technique you want to learn, search “TylersReelFishing ____” and in that blank, but the topic you are curious about.

Tyler what’s it like fishing for a living? Because you are literally living my dream. I’ve been bass fishing for a while now and I wanna start a channel but there’s only one pond I fish at because the only lake I live close to is lake Houston and it’s not the best quality lake. I also don’t currently own a boat. I’m saving for a kayak but there only one pond I have confidence in and I don’t know if I should start a channel or not what’s your opinion?
Look bro, I’ll say something that he’d say too. You have to get outside your comfort zone and learn how to catch them in different places. Boat or not.
@@MGFishin thanks, I just wanna get to how he is you know. Fishing is my passion and I still have a lot to learn. I just wanna get to where tyler is as a fisherman and a person
@@kallencosper8531 I’m about midway between you two. I’m an avid tournament angler and have my own bass boat, just no TH-cam channel and hardly any followers. The best advice I can give you is keep grinding. Never stop, it doesn’t matter how tired you are or how far you have to go. I’ve woken up at 2:30 in the morning and drove an hour just to lose money in a tournament.
Shakespeare: "Nothing is true but thinking makes it so." Bass Fishing: "No line is best but catching makes it so." How's that for a line? Pass your test? I've stretched this too far.
I recently switched one of my kid’s reels from 12lb mono to 15lb flouro, and we immediately realized the flouro felt like it had significantly more stretch to it. Glad to know I wasn’t crazy :)
One more thing do you think you could do another vid on Christmas wish list because that would help me out soooo much. If not that’s fine I know you’ll keep up the amazing content anyway. Thanks, take care.
I started out with whatever preceded mono. We thought mono was the cat’s meow when it first came out, then I went to college and didn’t fish for over 40 years. When I started fishing last year as a hobby looking forward to retirement, I found that so much had changed, soft plastics, fluorocarbon, a new kind of super braid.....and rods that are fantastic!! Well, I am learning a lot but I am still fishing with mono and have not, as of yet, seen enough to change my mind. 🙂 Good video though, and I have learned a lot from you young man!
@@danielmiller6255 thanks! LOL, I do blow up a reel now and then, usually as a result of not paying attention. But, when I have to CUT out the blow up, if it is with mono it doesn’t make me want to cry! 😁 (you know, how you want to cry when you break off that $15 dollar swim bait😜) LOL
One time me and Tyler were out fishing. We were driving around stealing everyone's big bass spots. We got chased but we had a good big 250 engine. Took us a week of scouting to find these spots, to steal from anglers. Tyler had nothing to do with it though. I was the ring leader. As the morning fog cleared we were spotted. Hey Tyler Tyler hit the gas I tell him. Tyler starts the engine emerges up from the swamps. Legend has it no one's ever seen the two again. To this day some say they still see the sightings of Neil bone and Tyler. 🦜🏴☠️
What a great reveal! Thought: The fact is, most people buy and use line by "pound-test" versus "diameter." So, with your focus being on pound-test, it's more practical and useful. It's also possible that there is different graph-curve for each material, showing greater stretch for Fluoro toward its maximum test, whereas mono's stretch happens more-so, initially, let's say. For that, one would need a scale to record max test and the amount of stretch that took it there. Logic my suggest, sensitivity comes from it's density, as with Tungsten versus lead. Fishermen, detecting a strike or sensing bottom bait movement would profit from using a no-stretch line at least at low tensions, which is where mono, sadly, usually has less to give. (You like the irony of words there? :) But, great test, Tyler! This is really good stuff! Thanks.
I have been fishing for 25 years and I personally prefer a braid main line and a 3 foot fluorocarbon leader line. And a lot of people I've talked to recommend using a fluorocarbon leader line that is twice the length of your rod. But that's really not necessary to do that, all you really need is a 2 to 3 foot fluorocarbon leader line. Especially if you get a braid color that matches the environment you're fishing in which makes it less noticeable by the fish. For example the best colors of braid to use to match the environment are typically either green or gray. Green is best suited for if you're fishing in a clearer body of water with lots of vegetation surrounding it. And grey is better for when you're fishing in muddy murky water like the Mississippi River for example where I fish, which has very muddy murky water so grey blends in perfectly.
I really like the test but what about hanging the line and tying like a 3-5 pound weight to each line and see how much it pulls the line down🤷🏻♂️ just a thought. But great video
Hey Tyler, good insights as usual 👊 I mostly use braid with fluorcarbon leader because in "my"' river there's lot of vegetation and braid cuts it better than all of the other lines. The leader is FC because it's thinner for the same weight and more invisible because of that... let's just say we shouldn't underestimate fish. So in my view braid is better for vegetation but sucks for rocks where fluor excels and mono is an all around line that does the job. You just kill me on "getting fish on the boat"... There's so much of us out there on the bank crying 🥲 Nice science BTW, nothing like testing things for ourselves at the end of the day 💪
Yes do the diameter test because I have learned that lb test don’t mean crap because it’s a sales catch. And i just skip all the confusion and extra money spending on line , I just go down on my mono leader size to get more depth on crank baits or those slow fishing days. I’m definitely a braid fan, I just went to 30 lb because i can us it year round with 15-12 mono. Good vid! God bless brother!
Do you use a leader? there are pros and cons to each. for example, crank baits should be used with flouro carbon. I’m mostly a braid guy, but a leader is definitely necessary for finesse fishing (dropshots, etc.)
The only thing I use mono for is the backing on certain reels. I use braid with flouro leader on almost every config. I am sure some people would say that is wrong or whatever.. but it works for me. I really dont see much of a difference using 15 test or less flouro compared to mono.. with 20lb i do notice certain lures have the action lessened.. in some cases it actually is beneficial
Braid to leader all day 30lb power pro and then if you want different line all you have to do is change the leader size or material it saves a lot of money and waste of line re spooling
braid (fluro leader) for my shore and lake fishing but for some reason i cannot deal with it when im fishing im small streams and rivers then i use mono it has a better shock absorbing quality for those short powerfull takes at your feet by trout but this is only my personal preference after 30 years angling everyones different and there is always something new to learn
Everybody should really just do there homework and experiment with different types of line as well different brands of lines and what that brand has to offer. When said “which line is better than the other” to me in my opinion would be silly to say and in reality really limits a persons mind when saying that 👀 just like different sizes and actions of rods due to what they’re made of (glass, graphite, mixtures, etc.) everyone of these categories of line he is explaining all plays a very important role in the sport fishing. Not making one better than the other.🤓🎣
This video I’ve been waiting on FOREVER !! I use braid with flouro leader on 2 rods, straight braid on 3, braid to mono for top water on 1 rod.. This gets the job done for me!! Thanks for the great content my man. Keep em coming
Tyler I was gonna get the custom pro series rods but heard that the guides bend really easily which didn't seem right to me have you ever seen this happen, it's 200$ so I wouldn't think so.
I’m trying to figure out what line I should put on my med-heavy combo. I would use floro but I would like to throw top water on it too. I’m going to throw T-rig, chatterbait, jigs up to 1/2 ounce, buzzbaits, etc. Would I be better off using braid and tieing a floro leader if I have too?
You can throw a buzzbait on flouro because you’re keeping the bait moving . Frogs and walking baits either braid or mono . P Line makes a copoly line that is designed for topwater that’s really good
I’ve had experience with mono from 25 pound all the way down to 4 pound for trout. It does seem as it gets thinker, it does have more stretch to it. I can’t explain why but it’s just how it works mostly
Interesting vid, thanks Tyler. Is there a general rule of thumb as how often to change your line? I am on the water once a week and can tell when it’s time to change flouro but never sure about braid. I have had 20lb braid on some reels over a year and no sign of wear or tear.
My whole life I’ve been a 100% mono guy I want to get into braid and fluouro but I’ve heard people say braid sucks or fluouro is so bad can never set hooks and always snaps on bigguns what do u guys think the best overall line is if I was to go anywhere from throwing a night crawler to a top water frog
Whoever said braid sucks is wrong. I catch almost all my fish on flouro as well, so whoever tells you it snaps is wrong. You should not be throwing the same line for every fishing technique. I talk about that in this video. I also talk about leaders here: th-cam.com/video/C9kSs-IC2QE/w-d-xo.html
pro anglers use flouro because they are SPONSORED and tackle companies want them to promote what tackle companies can make most money on. do your own abrasion resistance test like salt strong and see mono win in that... tackle companies promote invisibility in water yet they have no scientific way to prove it... you just proved flouro stretches' almost like mono give or take a few inches so sensitivity advantage of slouro is is not as much as you think it is... its all marketing that got in peoples heads that anything more expensive is probably better
I agree it’s better to go by diameter. Because that also affects casting. So, in reality, I would agree that line size is more important than pound test. However, it’s also very important to consider pound test due to the fish are trying to catch. With all variables, I would personally say it’s best to go with a braid with the fluorocarbon leader for virtually any situation.
So if mono or fluorocarbon has known memory why don’t manufacturers roll on small OD spools to closer match reel spool OD?!? Is it the line itself that fish see or is it the shadow the line creates?
What's the chances I randomly watch this vid, and see this was filmed out of Brazos Park East. Literally right down the road from me and we go there all the time haha

I like how simple fishing can be and how far you can get into it
There’s room for both sides of the spectrum too!
For real bro I landed 8 pound bass on a 12 pound mono and he fought like crazy all my biggest bass been on 12lb mono bruh all I wanna do is fish
I’ve been needing a video on this
I had leftover mono that I threw on my new combo, and I started throwing a buzzbait with it and I’m super impressed love the stretch for hooksets
I’m surprised you want stretch on a buzzbait hookset haha
I caught a 25 inch pike on 10lb mono on a spinning rod reeled him in no problem if I had braid I really think I would have pulled the lure out of its mouth.
Hey man you gotta stop with this sorcery nonsense, I think about stuff in my head and then you come out with a video on it.. it’s not cool man
Haha I guess I’m a mind reader
Im a braided line guy no matter what briaded is #1 for a reason
I can use braided with any leader right? Making my 1 rod versitile for any situation

Are use anything from 8 pound to 25 pound, depending on the technique. I talk about that in every single video that I make

Rocks will slice braid very easily. That's the main disadvantage for me.
Couldn’t agree more I throw only braid
Thanks for the help Tyler keep those videos coming man looking forward to your new videos all the time
You catch the most fish on what you use the most....confidence is key...cause you line is in the water more....

Different lines for different situations. No one line is better than the other.

Great video
Interesting vid, thanks Tyler. Is there a general rule of thumb as how often to change your line? I am on the water once a week and can tell when it’s time to change flouro but never sure about braid. I have had 20lb braid on some reels over a year and no sign of wear or tear.
I change every few months. 5 months at max. Braid can stay for a year or more though
Braid is very durable. I'd say change once a year. But it depends on the use.
No wrap on the boat 🤔 going up for sale?
Pre-Sold it back in March! New boat every year with Skeeter. I’m just delivering it next week
When you say braided line, do you mean straight braid, or a leader on the braid
I’m talking about the main line
@@TylersReelFishing yes , do you fish the braid with a leader
@@thesaltypro5842 yes fish braid with a leader, excpecuallu in clearer water
My whole life I’ve been a 100% mono guy I want to get into braid and fluouro but I’ve heard people say braid sucks or fluouro is so bad can never set hooks and always snaps on bigguns what do u guys think the best overall line is if I was to go anywhere from throwing a night crawler to a top water frog
Also what does it mean to have a leader of line
Whoever said braid sucks is wrong. I catch almost all my fish on flouro as well, so whoever tells you it snaps is wrong. You should not be throwing the same line for every fishing technique. I talk about that in this video. I also talk about leaders here: th-cam.com/video/C9kSs-IC2QE/w-d-xo.html
@@TylersReelFishing thanks man 🤘🏼
pro anglers use flouro because they are SPONSORED and tackle companies want them to promote what tackle companies can make most money on. do your own abrasion resistance test like salt strong and see mono win in that... tackle companies promote invisibility in water yet they have no scientific way to prove it... you just proved flouro stretches' almost like mono give or take a few inches so sensitivity advantage of slouro is is not as much as you think it is... its all marketing that got in peoples heads that anything more expensive is probably better
With cast ability and memory though, it’s not even close. Fluoro by a long shot
You should make a boat tour
I make em every year! Got 3 on my channel this year
I agree it’s better to go by diameter. Because that also affects casting. So, in reality, I would agree that line size is more important than pound test. However, it’s also very important to consider pound test due to the fish are trying to catch. With all variables, I would personally say it’s best to go with a braid with the fluorocarbon leader for virtually any situation.
Not sure which is best? But if you haven't tried the SUNLINE MODEL fluoro you are making a mistake. 400yds/$5.99! SUPER-STRONG line.
do you have any thoughts on copolymer line?
No
The lesson is to always do your own tests before taking advertising as gospel.
Yep
Very helpful
I’m glad!
So if mono or fluorocarbon has known memory why don’t manufacturers roll on small OD spools to closer match reel spool OD?!?
Is it the line itself that fish see or is it the shadow the line creates?
What's the chances I randomly watch this vid, and see this was filmed out of Brazos Park East. Literally right down the road from me and we go there all the time haha
Bro get a job and stop promoting
This is my job
Ok so my question each rod rated for the type of lb yes to be used so if a rod is rated for lb line can I use 20lb flouro
Whats the best size line like poundage for flouro to be able to throw almost everything
