Monofilament casting leaders
A monofilament casting leader is a type of line placed between the main line and the hook to facilitate casting, increase bait lifespan, and retain fish. Monofilament (monofil) is the most commonly used material for making casting leaders. It is a flexible, transparent line often made of nylon or fluorocarbon. A monofilament casting leader can usually be clear or colored to be less noticeable to fish in the water. Monofilament leaders can come in different thicknesses, and the chosen thickness depends on the type of fishing you are doing and the size of fish you are targeting. On the TackleBait Webshop you are sure to find the best possible monofilament casting leaders; you can choose from fishing lines from brands such as Delphin, Korda or Korum.
Monofilament materials are generally flexible, which helps in shock absorption and fish retention. Due to their flexibility, monofilament leaders can also help maintain realistic bait movement. Monofilament lines are easy to knot, providing ease of handling for anglers. Monofilament leaders absorb relatively less water than, for example, braided lines, so they become less heavy and their weight changes less. Monofilament leaders are often used for lighter fishing, such as casting artificial lures or light weights. Fluorocarbon monofilament leader is a special type that has high transparency underwater, making it less noticeable to fish. Before choosing the right monofilament casting leader, it is always worth considering your goals, the type of water, the size of the fish, and other fishing conditions.
