How to Choose Fishing Line for Trout Fishing

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Charlie Labarda. I am here with Expert Village and I am here to show you how to fish for trout in the lake and ponds. At this time, we are going to talk about the string. The string is very very important on the type of fishing you have. That means bigger fish, bigger string, smaller fish, smaller string. I don't know if you can see it, it's called a four-pound test line. They can come from two pound all the way to one hundred and something pound. Here I am using four-pound test line so the fish can't see the line, and you notice the color, sometime it is clear, sometime it is blue and sometime it is green. So today, I am using some kind of clear green for this type of fish. You don't want a heavy heavy line for this type of trout. The lighter the line is the better it's going to be. The line must fit your fishing pole too and your reel. You get a heavy line for the small reel, it will bulk up and it will be a short line and it won't perform right. So really, pay attention on the string on what your fishing pole and your reel needs."
