A fishing line made of multiple strands of PE fiber braided and dipped in rubber is commonly known as a braided line or large horse. The biggest advantage of this line is its high strength and thin wire diameter. First of all, its specific gravity is only 0.98, which is the only one among various high tensile fibers that do not absorb water and are lighter than water, so it will not decrease in strength due to water seepage, unlike ordinary fishing lines in the water. The strength of the PE fishing line will be reduced by 20%. Because the PE fishing line is a multi-strand braided line, it has better abrasion resistance than the monofilament nylon line, and it has a winding memory. This feature also determines that it can effectively reduce the frying powder Condition. The disadvantage is that it is not malleable. While this feature can quickly transmit the fish signal to the angler, it also often causes the fish to run or fire the gun. So we usually use it with carbon wire, and the nodule tension is only straight and strong. 30-40% of the tensile force (Nylon is generally 80-85%).


The color of the PE fishing line.

First of all, we need to know that the color is all according to our own preferences, no matter what color is not added to the fish, and then all colored lines will fade, it is nothing more than a matter of time. If PE does not fade, it can actually be done, it is the original yarn with color, but the cost will be 4~6 times higher, so almost no brand will use this kind of yarn (including Japanese local brands), most of which choose color essence Dyeing or spraying, followed by coating (glue/wax).


Then the PE line is divided into monochrome and color. The color is generally 10 meters per color and 1 meter per color. Among them, the color line is easy to dye, and the color line process is slightly more complicated, so it is more expensive. cost. At the same time, fishermen should also pay attention to the fact that the color line is expensive sometimes because the color line is rarely lacking in meters. You should understand what I mean.


The color line is actually used to measure the depth of the water and the throwing distance. Although there are some errors, for the veteran, it is enough to find a school of fish. The monochromatic words are just for everyone to see clearly when they are fishing, and to perceive the underwater situation through the fishing line. Of course, it doesn’t matter for novices, colorless ones can also be used.


How do we distinguish the quality of PE fishing line?

1. Distinguish from the material: one or several strands in the braided thread body are made of polyester yarn, the smoothness is improved, and the tensile force is reduced. We can take apart the braided thread to see if the materials of several strands are the same. If there are differences, it can be concluded that the merchant has mixed with cheap materials in order to reduce costs. Or we can burn it with fire to see if it breaks as soon as it burns. If it is not but drawing, we can cut the custom thread by mixing nylon or cotton to make it shoddy.


2. Cut it with household scissors. Really PE wire, ordinary scissors are difficult to cut and can be broken with a pair of scissors. I don't know what material it is made of.


3. Simply measure the tension, take a piece of wire, wrap one end on the doorknob or other things, and wrap the other end on a pencil, pull it, and feel the size of the tension. The difference between the tension and the business promotion is not big. You need to pay attention here. If the tension is small, the grade of the original yarn may below. If the tension is large, steel wire may be added when weaving the yarn! Although the pulling force is much larger, other convenient performances are not satisfactory.


How to choose PE line?


For beginners, of course, the cheaper the better. The line number depends on the number of fish and the artificial bait used.


Everyone just needs to know that a thick line for big fish and a thin line for small fish are OK. Novice 1.0 to 3.0 can choose at will.
