From your experience, what is the best fishing line?

BASS FISHERMAN - I assume by your name that you fish for bass.  Since there are so many different types of presentations for bass, your question has multiple answers.  It all depends on what you're doing.\n\nWhen I'm flipping a jig, I'm using 25lb berkley big game - incredibly strong to get me through all the junk I'm flipping into yet very low memory so the line isn't all coiled up while I'm bouncing a jig in front of ol' bucketmouth's face.\n\nIf I'm throwing a spinnerbait or a crankbait, I'll step down to 12lb P-line.  Insanely strong w/ higher memory, but w/ the resistance of the spinnerbait, the line is straight in the water and the coils are vitrually nonexistent.\n\nOn a texas rig, I'll use 12lb. suffix elite in the smoke color because it's nearly invisible under the water and I'm gonna have that soft plastic on a bed for 3-5 minutes at a time.\n\nFor my carolina rigs, I'll throw on a 30lb supermono by Spiderwire.  Strong, low diameter, it's perfect for a carolina rig because you're after bass, but you could always hook up to something else.\n\nIf you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Try Utah lake it has good walleye fishing also it is good for white bass & and Cat fish if you like trout try straw berry  you could go to the Utah Divison of wild Life resorces home page and look at the fishing report to find a spot near you. a lot of the lakes there will be frozen over soon and Ice fishing will start I can't wait good luck

Maggots, worms are good as the trout is very predatory. Also they will take bread flake, infact they love it. Its cheap and can be used with ease. A top bait, and it works at night, they can really smell it. For me, it would be bread then maggots then worms TIGHT LINES

in order to fly fish properly and have fun casting you need: backing, fly line, leader connection, leader and tippet.\n\nBacking basically fills up your reel so the fly line rests perfectly, and also keeps the fly line from being tightly wound around the spool and developing memory. Your fly line is essential for casting. You need a leader because you cannot tie on a fly to a big fat fly line. you need a leader connector so you can remove the leader when it gets too short. Tippet is tied on at the end of your leader so you can use your leader for a long time and still replace flies.\n\nall fly line comes in weights, and you your line has got to match the weight of your rod. so if, for example you're putting this new reel on a 7'6" 4wt rod, you need 4wt (wt=weight) line. If you over or under weight your rod by more than 1wt, your rod will not cast the line nicely. An exact match is ideal. If your rod is a spit weight (ie 5/6wt) than either 5 or 6wt would work for you.\n\nAll fly lines come in tapers. The most common and easiest to cast, and most versatile is "weight forward", anything else if for casting specific types of flies or for special water needs.\n\nEach fly line is sold by code, so if your rod is a 4wt, you will be shopping for a line with the following code: WF 4WT (weight forward, 4 weight). Also, choose floating.\n\nfly line runs from $15 to $60 - you get what you pay for.\n\nBacking is typically dacron line, let the fly shop suggest it for you. Backing basically fills up the reel for you so your fly line fits perfectly on the reel. Backing is also used for battling big fish (big big fish).\n\nYou will need to connect your leader to your fly line. Have the fly shop put on a connector (sleeve or mono-tie in). The connector allows you to put a leader on your fly line without having to tie a knot. The connector will also allow you to replace the leader when it gets beat without having to undo knots or chop off part of your expensive fly line.\n\nyou can buy leaders for about $4 each. get knotless tapered ones, 7' 5 or 4x is good for trout.\n\nfinally, tippet is clear thin line that you tie to the end of your leader so you dont have to tie your fly to your leader. Every time you tie on a new fly, you end up wasting a piece of your line. Since leaders are tapered, there is only about 1' of material at the end that is fine enough to put through the eye of a fly hook. Tying on a piece of tippet gives you an extra diposable length of line to waste changing flies, and you always have line that will fit nicely in the hook eye. If you use tippet, you'll be able to keep your leader for several months. tippet comes in 30' spools, appx $4-8 per spool, and you should tie on appx 2' each time you tie on a length. \n\nThe weights of tippet come in X's, which if you read the tippet label, correspond to breaking strenght. the higher the # the lighter and more fragile the weight.\n\nso for example, if you buy a leader that is 7' 5x, that means the lightest section of the leader is equal to 5x tippet. You should buy 5x or 6x tippet to match. If you try to tie a really light tippet to a heavy leader (ie 3x leader, and 8x tippet) the diameter of the lines will be so different that your knot will have a hard time holding and you'll loose a fish.\n\nhope this helps. good luck.

I have found that the best retirieve to catch bass would have to cast it out as close to weeds, or logs, or rock cover as you can, keep your rod tip up and you line taut.  Let the worm sink and usually you will get the hit on the initial fall.  If not, let the worm sink to the bottom.  Then give the worm a few tugs, very small tugs, remember, you have to make it look real, so huge tugs make it look like a super worm, and may result in a hit, but, not many.  After you have given 2,3 maybe 4 little tugs on the worm, let it sink again.  I have found that most hits occur as the worm is falling.  So it is a must to keep your line taut, or you won't even feel the strike.  You must also keep your eye on your line where it enters the water.  Sometimes, you don't feel the hit, even with a tight line, but you will see your line either twitch, or move off to one side or the other.  Be ready to set the hook.  I prefer the YUM dinger in the 4 inch model and 6 inch model, in the watermelon seed color with gold flakes. They have a small slit in the worm to hide the hook in, resulting in easier, and better hook-ups.  Bill Dance once said "Any color and size of worm is good, as long as it is 6 inches and purple."  Try watermelon seed first, it seems to work everywhere.  Purple, black, red, and watermelon seed  also seem to work well.  But you have to experiment to find a good color. Here are a few sites to get you started.  I also have found that if the YUM dinger doesn't work, the YUM 6 inch ribbontail usually does.  If niether of those work, I try the YUM hawgtail, and almost always catch bass with 1 of the 3.  I would be lying if I told you that these three soft plastics have not improved my catch ratio per fishing trip, than any other plastics, and lures combined. I have found that using worms, I have found that it makes little difference on the water condition, when fishing a worm.  I have caught bass in muddy water, clear water, and in between with a worm, as well as at night. Bass have a "sensor" called the lateral lines. The bass can feel the worm before they see it.  In fact the largest bass I have ever caught was caught on a YUM dinger, at 2 a.m. during a full moon. But I have also had good bass at night when it was cloudy out. I prefer to Texas rig my plastics, most always wieghtless, on a 1/0 worm hook.  Have fun, and tight lines.

I prefer FLW other than bass masters. FLW is a better chance for an everyday fisherman to have fun and be able to fish against some of the best. As far as bass masters being better fisherman, the best fisherman fish both.I think what did it for me was when bass dropped Ranger Boats and went with Triton. Also starting out with FLW you fish tournaments against other pros or amateurs . Bass you join a club , real crappy way to do it. That is a long story on how that works , more complicated.

the flounder in jersey just go nuts over marabou jigs.You'll need light tackle,4 lb test is perfect, but the just cant resist an eighth oz jig. I like green,yellow white and grey jigs. Bass Pro has them real cheap.There is no need to tip them with bait.I'll guarantee if you try this you'll kill them.

Lord yes i have a ultra light rig set up, mainly for bream fishing. bream is a pan fish which will get up to about 1 1/2 lbs. best eating fish there is . but to catch it one is like catching a shark. they are the best fighting fish there is.i have a ice fishing rod about 18inches long with a ultra light spinner on it. i carry it on my bike or truck. i see a decent place to fish i stop. i like it when the place is full of snakes because that is where you catch your big ones. wanna go with me lol.

I use the plastic worm the most, because it catches more fish than all the other lures combined. In my area, the watermelon seed, or junebug colors work the best.  Here is a site that can give you some pointers on how to fish plastic worms, as well as many other lures.  Tight lines.

Berkley and Berkley Trilene have a wide variety to choose from depending on what and where you fish. There is no "one size fits all" line. I use different tests of Berkley Fireline which is easy for me to cast, super strong and has yet to give me a "birds nest". I also like Berkley Trilene XT in different tests for rivers and streams because the rocks won't tear it up as bad and it doesn't seem to stretch or twist up so much. As far as a best lb. test for everyday use, something in the 6-10 lb. range should do. It's easy to use and ties good knots.

Niether!  They are both gimmick lures that have very low catch ratio's.  Save your money and get some YUM dingers.  You will catch way more fish, like bass, than with either of the lures you mentioned.  Tight lines.

the best bait is to ask the local fisherman what they use.use that.use the same technique anywhere you fish fresh and salt water .eventually you will learn .always ask the locals and you will groww as a fishermen

I sell bait for a living and the best bait for catching pike is a roach especially a live one on a treble trace.\nFishing for pike is the best, enjoy it!!

For a beginner, I would suggest a starter package from Wal-Mart or Sportsman's Warehouse.  It includes all the gear you need to get started and can usually be picked up for about $50.  If you go out and buy everything separately, you will pay $50 for the fly line alone.  I think a five weight rod is a really good place to start.  Two piece if you are driving to where you fish, a three piece if you are going to do much hiking with it.

Appears to be good Bass fishing.\n\nWe always scope out a new place and ask the people fishing what they're catching and with what.  Also, a local bait store is good for info too.  Sometimes local tourist bureaus have a fishing report posted.\n\nHave a great time
