Braid or nylon for trout fishing

For many years, the braid has been the fishing line used as a main line. For trout fishing or other fish, it’s a fishing line with very low elasticity and very little water resistance. The braid is very pleasant to use and allows optimal touch sensitivity.

However, its low elasticity which can be a real advantage can turn out to be difficult to handle for fishing small stream trout. Indeed, small trouts tend to jump on the water surface and unhook easily. By using nylon as the main line, you benefit from sufficient elasticity to avoid a number of unhooking.

Fishing lines for leaders

If you use a braid for trout fishing, you will then need to use a monofilament to maximize the discretion of your setup. Indeed, the braid it’s good but it’s not discreet. That’s why the use of a leader is a must.

You can build your leader from nylon or fluorocarbon. These are the 2 monofilaments used for trout fishing. Despite the low elasticity of fluorocarbon, it has a refractive index close to that of light. Therefore, it is the most discreet fishing line in the water. You will then have to choose your fishing line according to your needs.
