Fishing rods come in different sizes and fishing line varies in weight and strength. In this video, Brian Chan explains the rod and line options available to consumers and the different situations each is designed for. For typical lake fishing in B.C., an 8 - 9ft rod and 5 or 6 weight line is ideal.
Learn how to put line on a rod, what a leader is and how to set it to the optimal depth for the fish you are targeting. Discover some of the essential knots (clinch knot and non-slip loop knot) and how to attach a weight, swivel and strike indicator to your fishing line.
Both floating and sinking line set-ups are covered in this video.
