How Long Does Fishing Line Last?

Many people ask how long will fishing line last? The answer is dependent on how the line is stored, but in most cases fishing line can last a very long time in storage and maintain optimum strength. The three main types of line are nylon (monofilament), fluorocarbon and braid. Nylon can be the line most impacted if not stored properly. While braid and fluorocarbon will maintain performance the longest in proper storage. There are three main suggestions to keep your extra line performing at the highest levels for years to come. Store your line out of direct light Keep your extra line at room temperature Protect the spools Read the full article and learn more about the proper way to get the most longevity from your fishing line here.

Despite its rather small profile, the Saikoro “Dice” Rubber Max Salt is highly effective for targeting fish feeding on insects and shrimp, but also attracts bass that prey on small baitfish by generating a large water push from its numerous tentacles. Packed with loads of salt to encourage a fast rate of fall through the water column, the Max Salt model features a high specific gravity specialized for use at deeper depths that cannot be reached with the Non-Salt model when rigged weightless. For the best results, rig the OSP Saikoro "Dice" Rubber Max Salt Soft Bait on a small drop shot or wacky hook with no sinker, let it fall into the bass’s line of sight, and when you have their attention twitch the lure to get them to react!
