Comparing Types of Fishing Line

Published

6 years ago

September 21, 2019

There are three different line types mainly used in bass fishing, saltwater sea fishing and freshwater fishing: monofilament, fluorocarbon and braided fishing line.

Anglers must choose between the three, depending on the type of fishing trip they’re taking, or your style of fishing. There are benefits and drawbacks to all three types of line, so to help you find the best fishing line for you, we’ve compiled a guide, comparing types of fishing line.

Fishing lines come in many different forms and what you use should depend on what you’re fishing for.

Monofilament Fishing Line

Monofilament line is the best multi-purpose line. You can use it in multiple different situations, and it’s a perfect general-purpose main reel line. Other uses for monofilament line include: as a shock absorber leader material when using non-stretch braid lines; and for tying terminal rigs (i.e. swivels, hooks, and lures that are at the terminal end of the line) and hook traces. Check out some of the hook sets on Amazon for multiple options.

If you’re not sure which line is for you, we would recommend starting out with monofilament. It really is the most multipurpose line out there, and it’s quite affordable too. It has a little bit more elasticity to it than braid or fluorocarbon, so it’s perfect for running shallow-diving crankbaits through wood or rocks. The lure kicks off of the cover better when the crankbait hits an object, because of the extra stretch in the line.

Monofilament line is also super useful because of its buoyancy. Buoyancy is really useful in a line because, with suspending stick baits, the line floats on top of the water, allowing the lure to float in the strike zone for longer. This is a better option than the other two if you’re looking for a line with buoyancy, for example, if you’re topwater fishing, as fluorocarbon and braided fishing line tend to absorb the water, and sink. This then, in turn, affects the buoyancy of the suspending lure, making it less likely for your get that bite.

Another benefit of nylon monofilament fishing line is that it’s the cheapest line option out there. That, combined with the fact that it’s the most versatile line on the market, means that nylon monofilament line is the best option for beginners. We would suggest that it’s a good idea to start out with monofilament line, and then if you come across a situation, once your experience level is up, that requires one of the other types of line, then switch out for this occasion.

Monofilament Fishing Line: pros and cons

Pros:

Monofilament Fishing Line is the cheapest option out of all the available lines. However, like most items of fishing tackle, you get what you pay for, and the very cheapest nylon fishing lines aren’t really worth it. To get the most bang for your buck, opt for a more mid-price range monofilament line.

It’s easy to knot or crimp Monofilament Fishing Line, ensuring that your connections will be sturdy, and the knot strength won’t let you down.

Even though it knots really easily, it’s a low memory material, meaning that it will go back to its original form without any annoying kinks left in the line. It also means that it easily goes straight again after being restrained in the spool.

The elasticity of Monofilament Fishing Line gives it really good shock-absorbing qualities, making it less likely that a fish will be able to tear itself free of the hook in its once it has bitten.

Because it’s transparent, It’s much less visible in the water than most other line materials. This makes it more effective for catching some types of fish, but make sure to do your research, to ascertain whether this will be a benefit for you for your specific catch.

Monofilament Fishing Line is also abrasion-resistant. Abrasion resistance is important for long-lasting, durable lines.

The best nylon monofilament fishing lines have a good, consistent ratio between strength and diameter ratio, and are soft and supple.

Cons:

The elasticity of this line is a benefit in many applications. However, it’s detrimental if you’re trying to make a really long cast. For this application, a much better option for you would be a braided line. This is because, when using monofilament, the elasticity of the line means that it absorbs some of the energy, which is more usefully transferred to the rod. If you’re looking for a shock leader for casting, choose a low-stretch nylon fishing line, there are some specifically manufactured for this purpose, or consider investing in the more expensive fluorocarbon lines.

Another way that the elasticity of monofilament could work against you, is in bite detention. Its elasticity absorbs the movement of your terminal tackle, reducing bite detection at the rod tip, making it harder to spot if you’ve got a successful bite.

Monofilament Fishing Line is the least resistant line to UV rays. This means that over time, it will be prone to ultraviolet degradation from direct sunlight. However, with the price of Monofilament Fishing Line being so low, this might not be an issue for you in the long run.

Another factor which means monofilament isn’t as durable in the long run is because it’s slightly absorbent. Over time, this will cause your line to loose strength. If you’re going fishing with monofilament, consider changing your line occasionally, and bringing spare line with you.

Although a lot of anglers and fishermen use monofilament line as their main, and go-to line, there are some applications where another line would work much better. They include situations where near-invisibility is important. For example, fluorocarbon line is best used when you want your line to be undetectable. Braided line should be used when non-stretch and minimum diameter is required.

Braided fishing lines have been well-known for casting long lines.

Braided Fishing Line

The main purposes for braided line are for long-casting applications and up-tide ledgering. Ledgering is a general angling term that covers lots of different rigs and setups, but what they all hold in common is that the line lays close the bottom, a single weight is used, and a bite is indicated at the rod.

Although braided line is not terribly buoyant, unlike monofilament line, in some situations this can be to its benefit. If you’re making long-distance casts with surface lures, then braided fishing line will be a better option for you. Although monofilament means you can you can cast your topwater lures farther, throwing surface lures such as buzz baits and plastic frogs on braided line is the best option. Due to braided fishing line’s low stretch factor, it has a much better hook-setting power than the other two options.

However, in some senses, the lack of flexibility of this line can be to its detriment, even though it has a high breaking strength. Elasticity in fishing lines means that they can act as a shock absorber, helping to prevent fish from breaking free, or tearing itself free from the hook, once it has bitten. So if you’re planning on going fishing for particularly boisterous, or large, fish, such as largemouth bass, we wouldn’t recommend opting for braided fishing line.

But braided line’s low stretch does come in handy in some other areas. For example, having a near-zero stretch factor is perfect for bite detection: you’re more able to see the line wiggle as the fish has bitten. And, after you’ve been able to clearly see the bite, the zero stretch factor also means the angler has more control over lure action when spinning and jigging.

Braided line’s low stretch also comes in handy when fishing spinnerbaits and lipless crankbaits through milfoil and hydrilla beds. You can rip these lures through the weeds easier with braided line which triggers more strikes. Braid is also favored by the pros for punching Texas-rigged soft plastics with heavy weights through thick vegetation mats.

Braided Fishing Line: pros and cons

Pros:

Because of braid fishing line’s ratio between strength and diameter, you can fit loads of it on the reel, making it a perfect option for long casts.

Another property that makes braided line perfect for long casts is its small diameter. Because of its small diameter, this line can fly through the air at record speeds, and easily, making your casts as long as possible.

The small diameter of braided line also means it will travel through the water easier than mono. Therefore, with braided fishing line, you can get your lure down deeper under the water when spinning and trolling, and it will sink faster when jigging.

Another benefit of braided line is that it has zero stretch, which is great for bite detection.

Some types of braided line have no reel memory at all.

Cons:

It could be dangerous for anglers. Make sure you’re well-practiced, and you’re being super careful when using braided line. Because it’s so thin and hard, it can easily cut through human skin, so watch out as you’re casting. Similarly, it can wear out rods. Make sure you’re only using it on rods with roller guides or rings, specially developed for braided line.

Although he no-stretch property of braided line can come in useful for some purposes, it can be detrimental in others. It means that braided line has no shock-absorbing properties at all, making it quite hard on the angler’s arms and shoulders. If you’re planning a long day or trip fishing, a line with a little more flexibility will tire you out less.

With braided line, you’ll also have to learn a few more knots, as it’s not recommended to use most normal knots for mono or Fluorocarbon with braided knots. Learn the braid knot, for tying braided line to swivels, or the Albright knot for tying it to mono lines of a larger diameter. Consider taking with you a camping multi tool, for repairs, and to cut off the ends after you’ve tied your knot.

Another limiting factor of braided line is that it doesn’t cast well from baitcasting reels. Because of its small diameter, it squeezes between the underlying coils on the reel. If you’re lucky, this could just result in a short cast, but the worst-case scenario is the dreaded bird’s nest, which might take you some time to unravel, when you could be enjoying yourself. Choose, instead, a fixed spool reel for braided line.

It’s much more expensive than standard mono line.

Braid can be really visible in the water, especially if it’s seen from below with the bright sky above. This will mean, with some species, and especially if you’re fishing in clear water, that you’re less likely to get a bite.

Another property that makes braided line perfect for long casts is its small diameter.

Fluorocarbon Fishing Line

Monofilament is perfect for tying terminal rigs (i.e. swivels, hooks, and lures that are at the terminal end of the line) and hook traces, but choose fluorocarbon line if you want to complete these actions in clear water. Fluorocarbon lines are also perfect to use for low-visibility leaders when trolling and spinning. Although braided line is the king of long-casting applications, you can use fluorocarbon fishing line as a non-stretch shock leader when you need to be long casting, for example, if you’re surfcasting.

Unlike standard monofilament line, fluorocarbon fishing line isn’t derived from nylon, but from a polymer known as polyvinylidene fluoride. This may sound like a bit of jargon, so let us break it down for you. The main benefit of monofilament being made of this material is that it’s virtually invisible in water.

This is because it has an unusually low refractive index which is actually really close to the refractive index of water! This is especially useful if you’re fishing for bass, as you’ll be using a finesse bait that bass come up and examine, and you don’t want to scare them away with visible line. However, there’s no point in making the extra investment unless you’re going fishing in crystal clear waters. If you’re fishing in slightly murky waters, or at night, then the invisibility of fluorocarbon will be of no use to you.

Another point which makes Fluorocarbon Fishing Line sometimes a better option than mono is that it’s less likely to wear away over time. This is because it’s less affected by exposure to UV rays, and it’s far less absorbent than mono fishing line, so is less likely to wear away over time. Another point that might make it worth the extra investment is that it’s got a harder surface texture than mono line, and therefore doesn’t abrade to the same degree when fishing on coarse sand and rough ground.

Fluorocarbon Fishing Line: pros and cons

Pros:

Fluorocarbon is almost invisible on or underwater.

It is a low stretch material, meaning you’ll get excellent bite detection at the rod tip.

Another benefit of Fluorocarbon Fishing Line is that it’s denser than water, meaning that it sinks quite easily, allowing trolling and spinning lures to run deeper under the water.

Fluorocarbon Fishing Line tangles less easily than mono line, because it’s a slightly stiffer material.

Fluorocarbon Fishing Line can stay intact for longer than mono, because it’s less likely to fall apart over time. This is because it’s less absorbent than mono line, and less vulnerable to UV rays.

This line is super sensitive, making it a perfect choice for if you’re using lures that need a lot of feel, such as worms or jigs. Braid is sensitive too, but if, for example, you’re fishing for bass in clear waters, it’s a much better option to choose the fluorocarbon line, due to its near invisibility factor.

Cons:

It’s almost double the price of standard mono line.

Because of its high line memory, casting distances can be affected when using this type of line.

Although the density, and the fact this makes the line sink, is useful in some applications, it’s not so good if you’re looking to use topwater lures, as its tendency to sink is likely to affect the action of the lure.

Knots usually hold much easier in standard mono line.

Due to its stiffness, fluorocarbon is quite difficult to spool on a spinning reel. However, if you’re a bit more practiced at angling, and you’re well accustomed to tying fishing knots, then we might have a solution for you. What you can do, instead of only using fluorocarbon to spool your spinning reel, is to spool it with a main line of braided line, and attach a 10-foot fluorocarbon leader. This will give you the best of both worlds, but you’ll need to securely tie the two lines together with an Alberto or double uni knot.

Now that you’ve learned about the most important types of fishing lines, it’s time to do some good ole’ fishing.

Final Verdict:

So there we have it, a complete guide comparing types of fishing line. We hope that this overview will help you to choose the right line for you, and your next fishing trip depending on the fishing conditions. We have looked over the main 3 fishing line types, but there is also some other fishing gear that pro anglers take with them for some trips.

For example, you might want to tie on a leader wire, to make your line less susceptible to fish biting through it. Our advice is: start with monofilament line, as it’s the best multipurpose line out there, and then depending on the fishing conditions and your catch for that day, experiment with some of the other lines to find the perfect fit for you.

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

Published

October 18, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.

But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.

So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.

Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive

Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.

Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.

For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.

The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network

Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.

Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.

The best configuration depends on three variables:

Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.

Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.

Lessons from the Field

Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.

There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.

When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.

The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.

The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive

This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:

Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.

WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.

Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer

External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:

Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.

Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.

This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.

Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know

According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.

For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.

Some planning advice:

Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.

Real-World Use Cases

Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:

Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.

Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.

Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations

Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.

That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

October 17, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.

Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.

Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical

The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.

“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”

Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.

How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving

Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:

Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.

A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.

Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”

In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.

The technical crew set up:

Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
A satellite uplink for backup

The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.

Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility

According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:

“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”

The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events

As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:

Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions

For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.
