2. Multifilament fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifilament_fishing_line

   Multifilament line is similar to braided dacron in terms of sensitivity but a diameter about one-third that of the ubiquitous nylon monofilament line. [2] Multifilament works best on conventional and baitcasting reels. On spinning and spincasting reels, the line's limpness can make sure for awkward manipulation, as it does not "spring" off the ...

3. Braided fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braided_fishing_line

   For these strands another term is used i.e. "carrier" as instance 8 strand braided fishing line is called an 8-carrier line. The braided line is visible underwater as compared to other lines. Due to this line's thin diameter, it can cause scratches and cuts on the angler's hands. [2] Braided fishing lines have a low resistance to abrasion, and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_reel

   The baitcasting reel design will operate well with a wide variety of fishing lines ranging from braided multifilament, heat-fused "Superlines", copolymer, fluorocarbon and nylon monofilaments (see Fishing line). Most baitcasting reels can also easily be palmed or thumbed to increase the drag, set the hook, or to accurately halt the lure at a ...

5. Angling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angling

   Fishing reels are manually cranked reels typically mounted onto a fishing rod, used to wind and stow fishing line [3] when a long casting distance or a prolonged retrieval is expected. Traditional fishing reels are essentially compact windlasses with a " direct-drive " design, while modern reels since the Industrial Revolution typically are ...

6. Fishing techniques - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_techniques

   Angling with fishing rods give more control of the fishing line, and allows the bait/lure to be launched much farther than hand-throwing can reach. The rod is usually fitted with a fishing reel which functions as a mechanism for storing, retrieving and paying out the line. Floats may also be used, and can function as bite indicators. The hook ...

7. Fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_line

   Backing is the rearmost section of the fishing line and typically used only to "pad up" the spool of the fishing reel, in order to prevent unwanted slippage between the mainline and the (usually metallic and well polished) spool surface, increase the effective radius of the spooled line and hence the retrieval speed (i.e. inches per turn), and ...
