But alas, not all lines are created equal, and anglers are now presented with an array of choices that have different applications. What works well in one situation will be all wrong for another.

No one knows that better than Clay Norris, senior brand manager for Berkley. The man spends his life studying fishing lines and developing better ways to connect anglers to the fish that dominate their thoughts and haunt their dreams.

Norris' company sells four primary styles of line for targeting the types of fish that inhabit North America: braid, monofilament, fluorocarbon and Nanofil.

I love reading this kind of stuff. I'm a 100% braid guy for all my spinning gear. I love it. For my baitcasting applications I'm 12lb mono all the way. My dad is a 100% mono guy and will never change. It's funny how I can love the feel of braid and my dad hates it.

Same here, other than I have a couple baitcast rigs with braid now.

Never used nanofil. Use braid, mono and fluorocarbon depending on the situation. Prefer braid for most.

I prefer braid until I start trolling ... my 30's have mono for stretch

I have braid on my frog rod. 12# Izorline on moving lures (spinners, cranks, topwater), and 15# flouro on contact baits (worms, jigs)
