Monofilament Line
    - Single fiber line.
    - Cheapest to buy.
    - Good for clear water.

Fluorocarbon Line
    - Less visible to fish.
    - Almost dissapears in water.
    - Low Stretch.

Super or Braided Line
    - Super strong.
    - Smaller diameter.
    - Very little stretch to set that hook instantly.
    - Floats in water.

Line Color
    - This is almost like a "match the hatch" idea. Clear green tinted water you should probably go with a green color line. Super clear water you will want a clear line. Murky to muddy water the choice is yours.

Line Size

    - Selecting line sizes can vary due to the type of activity. If you are pitchin' or flippin' in pads most anglers recommend 20lb test at a minimum. Line size can also affect how your lure moves. Experimentaion will help out a great deal in finding out what works best for that type of bait or lure.

Tips

    - To minimize twists in your line, load the line from the spool in the same direction as your reel spins.
    - If you don't have a special unit to hold spools of line, stick a pen or pencil through to hold on to it.
    - It's best to keep fishing line indoors. Exposure to heat and sunlight can damage the line.
