I usually choose slightly thicker mono than standard recommendations, and all producers have slightly different diameters. Not necessarily ultimate distance, but for repetitive distance casting, which is 95% of what we do along the Scandinavian coastlines, a shooting head with mono shooting line just reaches 25+ meters easier and faster then WF-lines, and more importantly, offer what for me is a very important feature - easy density changes. Both are great benefits in casting for distance. The big advantage of monofilament nylon shooting lines (henceforth mono) is low weight and low friction. They were noisy, but absolutely no stretch and the sawed through the rings on your rod in a year or two, and I suspect that’s why (I think) nobody makes or uses them anymore. In the 90ies braided shooting lines were popular, and to be honest, they cast and fished exceptionally well. They’re usually level and come in different thicknesses. Monofilament (usually nylon - perhaps always - not sure if anyone ever mono shooting lines of any other material).Ĭoated - built like a flyline on a core, coated with either PVC or PE. There are two different types of shooting lines. They’re not fast and easy to change when fishing (unless you choose to carry an extra spool, but I’ve never really done that myself). To further the flexibility of the system, you can also choose different shooting lines. It allows the fisherman to change line density within a matter of minutes, and also change to shorter or longer heads when and if needed.
