What type of fishing line is best for fishing on the shore at a lake?
So my friends and I love to fish. We fish on a river about everyday. We never fished at a lake before so we are going tomorrow to lake michigan. We don’t have much money to get a boat so we are fishing off the shore. The only question I have. What type of fishing line is best used to catch those big fish in the lake?
The water which you fish really isn’t the issue to consider. Instead, consider what fish you will be going for and what kind of baits you will be using.
If you’re just a casual Bass and Panfish person, stick with a monofilament line in the 6-10 pound range. You can throw about any bait you want to when staying within this limit, except for heavier baits and deep running baits like jigs or deep diving crankbaits.
If you plan on using deep diving/running or heavy baits, you’ll probably want to up the line a bit. Look into the 12 to 14 pound monofilament.
If you’re going for “teethy” fish like Pike or Musky, you’ll want to at least use a braided leader. I absolutely hate braided line, but sometimes it is necessary. Beware of this stuff though. It will really screw up your rod and reel with time if you’re not careful.

Recreational Fishing $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is fishing for pleasure or competition. It can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is fishing for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is fishing for survival. The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any one of a wide range of baits. Other devices, commonly referred to as terminal tackle, are also used to affect or complement the presentation of the bait to the targeted fish. Some examples of terminal tackle include weights, floats, and swivels. Lures are frequently used in place of bait. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
