Hi All

I am new to fishing and was wondering how you decide what type of line to
use and what type of trace to use. Any advise would be great

Thanks

Glenn
Have you an idea where you are likely to fish and boat or shore or rocks or
pier?
A couple of thoughts spring to mind first is a a couple of sets of hokkai
or mackeral feathers sooner or later they will come in handy. buy your line
in cheaper bulk spools , because of tidal drag try to get the better weight
to diameter ratio rather than the cheapo thick springy lines, Red Ice is
decent stuff. Check http://www.wirralseafishing.co.uk/ for some more info.
