The Right Line Matters.
The right line can be the difference between catching a bucketload of fish and coming home empty-handed.
Some anglers think line is boring. Nothing to get too excited about. But the right line can be the difference between catching a bucketload of fish and coming home empty-handed. The truth of the matter is that line is extremely interesting, especially to the scientists at Berkley. They put enormous amounts of time and energy into engineering the perfect line for every water condition, every species, and every type of fishing technique.
