I would like to share my experience on how I developed a strong tackle system to catch bluefish.
The correct fishing line must be used for each type of fish you are after, whether it is bass, blues or trout. This principle also extends to the saltwater world where appropriate fishing lines are just as important at catching different weights and sizes of fish.
I have tested various fishing lines now being sold in Singapore . Some are not up to par with international product standards, which need improving if local anglers are going to benefit from higher quality lines that increase their chances of landing more fish.
Top 5 Fishing Line For Bluefish
Please read below for details on what I found out about these products:
1) Stren Original Fishing Line - No Doubt About It
This line is really good for both bass and bluefish, although I find that it's a little heavy for trout. The line has great strength and abrasion resistance, which is important when fishing in areas with rocks and coral. It handles well in both freshwater and saltwater, making it a versatile option for anglers targeting different types of fish.
The color of the line also makes it easy to see underwater, which can be helpful when trying to spot fish lurking near the bottom.
2) Berkley Trilene Big Game Fishing Line
This line is designed specifically for larger fish, such as bluefish and striped bass. It has an extremely high breaking strength, which gives anglers the peace of mind that it is not going to snap when fighting big fish.
The downside of this strong line, however, is that it is quite stiff and difficult to cast without getting tangled up in your rod tip. Once on the water, fishing with Berkley Trilene Big Game Fishing Line does give you a sense of confidence though if fighting larger opponents!
3) Power Pro Spectra Green
This product has amazing casting capabilities for its diameter. It also handles really well underwater - it doesn't get easily tangled around submerged rocks or corals, which can be an issue with certain other more limp brands of line that are not specifically designed for saltwater use.
Unfortunately, I found that the strength of this line is lower than international standards, meaning it's not as tough as it could be when fighting fish in the ocean. I would recommend using a heavier line if fishing for larger blues.
4) Yozuri Hybrid
As the name suggests, this line is a hybrid of monofilament and fluorocarbon. It has some of the benefits of both materials - it is durable like monofilament, yet has low visibility like fluorocarbon. This makes it an ideal choice for anglers targeting bluefish, as they will be able to see their line less easily and avoid spooking fish.
The only downside to this line is that it can be a little difficult to cast, especially in windy conditions. However, once you get used to using it, the Yozuri Hybrid can be a very effective choice for bluefish fishing.
5) Sufix Siege
This line is designed with strength and durability in mind. It is made from a special braided Spectra fiber, which gives it incredible toughness and allows it to withstand heavy punishment without breaking.
The downside of this line is that it is quite difficult to cast, especially when compared to some of the other products on the market. However, if you are targeting bigger blues and can handle the extra effort needed to cast this line, then Sufix Siege would be a good option.
So, there you have it - my top five picks for fishing lines for catching bluefish. I hope this information proves helpful and allows you to make an informed decision when purchasing your next line.
Happy fishing!
