Sea fishing?

Question

I am going sea fishing off of sandbanks (shore) and i was wondering what pound line I should use????? Any help????

Answer 1

I'd go with a braided line probably about 30# - braided because it won't get torn up on any rocks or debris in the water. Today's braided line is tough and has a small diameter.. BERKLEY FIRELINE is excellent - I use 100# from a boat and it's the same diameter as 30# line.

Here is a chart - Cabelas is very reasonable on pricing....you can see how 30# braided line is just as thick as 12# monofilment so it's easy to handle and strong....

It should be strong enough for just about everything you'll encounter...remember to use your drag.... good luck.
