No matter what fish species you fish for…the most important part of fishing is landing fish and the most important part of landing fish..is our fishing line. Without strong line, you could not only lose a Personal Best but even a record breaking fish. When I was a teenager I remember making the jump from low cost fluorocarbon fishing line to a very expensive line, but the increase in performance was so evident that I was amazed. And as a tournament bass fisherman, where money is on the line, I have always wondered what is the best fishing line on the market? So I decided to spend $900 to buy every single brand of fluorocarbon fishing line that I could get my hands on and put them to the test to finally find the BEST FISHING LINE period!
So my objective is simple, I want to find the best fishing line. In order to do this I came up with 8 different tests that will show off the performance of each fishing line. Each line will go through every test and will be given a score of 1 to 29, with 29 points awarded to the fishing line the did best in each test and 1 point awarded to the fishing line that did worst. At the end of all the tests the fishing line with the most points will be considered the best fishing line on the planet!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

specrtacular video, hopingg you can get sportsmans outfitters to put that linee baCK UP, the link goes to a 404 error.
where can you find the spro line?
You should of got line from korda or ridgemonkey they sell in the USA now
It is crazy the impact this video is having. No one has stock left. I hope you have a good long discussion with spro after this. You pretty much showed them the power of a solid CZcams video. Very cool!
Best is subjective. Flouro sinks like a brick. Sometimes you need something of neutral buoyancy or even floating. Perhaps you should have said the best bass fishing line. Or best lure fishing line. Or best flourocarbon line. Good video though. You earned the like.
This was an insanely well put together video and test. Seriously enjoyed it, thank you!
Yeooooo what’s good Jon B. ❤
Thanks dude, means a lot coming from you!
This was something I've been curious about since getting into fishing (through both you Jon and this channel); it's great to see the engagement as it allows me to feel as if I've made the correct choice in educational, but fun, content
16:36 “SCREENSHOT” 😊 E: BUT WATCH THE VID OF COURSE 😅
How much do you get paid to say this?
First of all I am a retired engineering teacher with 38 years of teaching experience. I commend you on your efforts. I ran many similar tests many times with my students under very strict conditions. Your testing conditions and testing methods were interesting without the use of expensive testing equipment. I wish I was still teaching so I could show my students your video. Nice job and thanks for sharing your experiment.
It’s all about passing the buck in the end, I learned that from Ferris Beuler’s teacher
Please do braided line next!! We will be forever grateful 🙏
I'm a big fan of Project Farm and his unbiased tests. This was definitely up there with his quality. Thanks for the video.
Love that show too 👍
I haven't even finished this video but Tyler I love how in depth you go with these videos. The last couple you have made have been off the charts incredible. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for the kind words!
Agreed
This video was incredible!! You should repeat it with braid and mono now that you have the equipment for the testing
Best mono ive fiund is the suffix elite
Berkeley triline 17lb for me
That was absolutely one of the best and most informative videos I have seen on CZcams in a long time. Thanks for the great effort that you put into this.
Heck yea!
Really well done. I love how you broke down everything and used so many brands. I wonder if some brands have better high lb like 20 while some of the lower weights 12-16lb they might be better. I've noticed on tackle wharehouse that the diameter doesn't go down in size in the same increments as the lbs would indicate. Great video and good choice of graphics.
Mono test, then a mono-fc comparison analysis. I notice the Gouken is out of stock lots of places.
Dude, the amount of dedication you had to this video, serious respect. I’m three minutes in and I can’t wait for the end result. Thank you for all the hard work to save more anglers time and money! 💪🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
Is the spreadsheet available on your website? I’d like to see how you weighted the tests. The results might vary with conditions-driven priorities.
I’d love to see it too
I love the project farm layout. Thank you for taking the time to come up with, perform these tests, and sharing the information
I used to run an engineering test lab for a major manufacturing company. Well done! Respect!
Without doubt the most thorough and complete line test ever done. Lots of line test videos out there but yours's was the ONLY one that I have ever seen that tested for line memory which is IMO hugely important as I use spin casting reels as much as bait casting reels and as a matter of fact my sons use spinning reels more and I own 2x as many spinning reel set ups as bait casters and memory is at times a very major problem.
So this is what you have been doing. What great information. Thank you for all your hard work and hours spent doing these tests. I learned a lot!
so this is what you’ve been working on for so long, makes complete sense now lol. your dedication to this channel is truly amazing Tyler, love the content and information you are consistently sharing!!
Great video! Absolutely well put together. Very well-thought out content and tons of information to back it up. Thank you!
I have been a diehard Sunline Sniper fan for almost a decade. Just ordered a full set of SPRO 6# - 20# to replace my Sunline.
This video was 10/10. Thank you for your time and efforts to put it together. Very educational and very well devisedz
This is incredible. Great testing methods as far as consistency. Really appreciate the time you put into this one.
Thanks Chris, I appreciate that!
Dude! I been wondering what the heck happened to you; you've been MIA for longer than I think you ever have. I was beginning to think the worse. But now I see what you've been up to. Glad you are ok, and back doing what you do. Great job on this test. I haven't seen anyone that puts as much work in and shows as much passion about bass fishing as you do. You are the man!
Yea I was MIA for a while, this video had so many setbacks but I committed to getting it done! Thanks for watching!
Really really really good job with your testing, very in-depth and well-thought-out... Thanks again Ty you are the best channel on CZcams hands down... In all aspects!!!
This was by far the best Fishing video I’ve ever seen or come across!!! Bravo 🙌 this was extreme and over the top!! This should be the number video of all time! Thanks for doing this and taking the time to do this for all us fisherman!! Seriously thank you thank you thank you!!!
Great series of tests! I would have liked to see a comparative test of knot strength included. The line strength has little significance if it continuously fails at the knot, which ultimately determines the overall strength of the line.
great video but you probably should have showed the top ten and broken down the scores.
I been fishing for 65 year's an I use ANDE line 4lb an 6lb nothing else. all my friends use por line 50 lb test. that fishing line is like casting rope. my brother always uses his rope line and I tell him you are going to make the hook straight and lose the fish.
Great video, Tyler! Love the testing methods and data collected. The line graphs were excellent!! Great job.
Very interesting test results and amazing talent. Cudo's to you Ty, for putting in the personal time, energy, and the expenses! I will support you and place an order soon. Thank you.
Brother, Always looking at your channel for informative, usual non bias opinions and you never disappoint. This was one of the most thougt out and informative videos I've seen. Thank you for all that you do and I'll pick up some gear asap.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I try to be as unbiased as I can be!
I appreciate the time and effort you put into testing and have a question. If you tested a different test line, say 12 lb, would the test results remain similar or change?
This is a great comparison and very well done. As a newer angler who is actually buying their own gear while learning on the fly, I don’t think that I’ve seen as though a test as this. Thanks for making the charts and doing all of this work.
Thank you for your time in sharing this great knowledge. Very helpful.
This vid will get you a lot of views over the years. I’d love to see the top 4 of these flouros (per cost) go against 4 copolys. P-Line CXX, Gamma High Performance, Sunline Shooter Defier and Maxima Ultragreen. I’ll always choose copoly over flouro. I have more faith in it after it’s been fished and stretched a lot. I can’t afford to replace flouro regularly. That would also be a good test to repeatedly stress test a line with more poundage pulled and released each time it’s stretched to see when it shatters.
Add Suffix Advance Copolymer and Yozuri Hybrid to the this list for testing.
I swore off flouro awhile back for the same reasons been using “Masons line” it’s more popular in the north but has kind of a cult following here in the south. I don’t think many people know about it round here. However I’ve been on a run of not keeping fish pinned lately so thinking bout giving flouro anther try. That and I’m fishing a clear lake a lot lately.
Another AMAZING video buddy! 🙌🏼
Great info here....thank you so much for putting up the stats throughout and treating it so methodically. Very much appreciated!
Tyler, kudos for all the hard work that you did on all these test! This was a really valuable study that you took the time to painstakingly do it right. God bless!
I'm an avid user of Berkley Vanish, and based on the results of the testing, I see no reason to change! It not only scored very highly in both the overall and price categories, it's usually the cheapest fluoro on the rack at Academy or Walmart. I've been using it for years and have always liked it.
Vanish rots away faster than any other fluoro I have ever used. After 3-5 uses you have to change out the line. I’ve switched to Sunline Sniper, and this stuff lasts 10+ uses. I used to be an avid Vanish user myself. I just never even attempted to try a more expensive fluoro. Now I see why it’s more expensive.
@@MrNateRich I guess different guys have different results. I have never had that problem, and as a CZcams angler, I go fishing 4-5 times a week. My line has lasted me many months and tens of thousands of casts in most cases, fishing the thickest slop and brush.
i never use 20 lbs fluoro so idk about vanish but the lower sizes like 8 10 and 12 vanish broke off A LOT in my personal experience so i quit using it.
I use vanish for saltwater fishing and I like it. I've pulled many fish out of the rocks and coral. One time about 30 yards before I got the fish free. I found out I really need to lubricate the line well before cinching the knots and I need to tie the knot perfect but I guess that's the case with any line. I also change the line after a big catch but I've always done that, even with mono. Not at the beach but when I get home.
I don't have experience with the standard vanish flouro, but I found their vanish flouro leader line to be way overpriced and underperformed compared stren and seguar
That was top shelf content. You've raised the bar with that test and sharing the results with us. I hope your video gets the ton of viewings that it deserves. Those were great tests. Thanks for all you do.
Absolutely great research on everything and collecting the data . All around great job . Most line companies do their own test with no comparison
Man awesome video. Definitely always in depth and thorough. Thanks for all the great content!
To develop a more significant number for your power index, you need to use the radius squared, since that gives the cross sectional area and the actual strength. To use only the diameter gives an advantage in strength to any oversized line.
You're right. Maths is so sneaky. ;)
Tyler, this is BY FAR the best, most informative video I've seen on CZcams! Thank you.
Having said that, and partly because of a couple of the results you found, would you please do this same test with a few monofilament brands (personally interested in how Trilene XT & XL would do) and then compare that with the fluorocarbon results? I haven't exactly bought in on fluro's dominance over mono and would love to see this test comparison.
Thanks again for an amazing video.
Trilene big game is the best overall mono period
@@damnitman1969 how is it with memory?
@@mattnolan6979 five outta ten
So many positive responses. Incredible! Thank you for your efforts. You affected the fishing World. That’s a BIG BIG 👍 and I must say THSNK YOU!
My friend, your dedication to finding the best for fishing whether it's equipment or the bass themselves is really eye opening! In my opinion that's what set's you apart from everyone else is the work you are willing to put into your craft and willingness to share your findings with us! Keep up the AWESOME work you are doing!!!!!!
I’d love to see the full results list so I can compare the other brands I usually use. BTW, all your content is great, and this kinda is stuff is yet another reason I stay subscribed. Great info!
Yes, it would be great if he left a link to a Google doc with all the results.
Full results are shown at the end

Well which line has the best rebound? Meaning... After the stretch test, how did they do when the tension was released? Did they return back to the starting length or did they remain stretched out? I think that test would be a good representation of durability. BTW... Thank you so much for taking on such a task like this. It really does help us all come to a better conclusion.
Very good point, it seems to me that a lot of fluoros don’t spring back as well as mono, which gets a bad rap way too often and Not rightfully so in many case. It feels like most monos spring back and are just fine after a stretch, while fluoro springs back much less and as a result is weakened to a greater degree
That would be a component of their Memory. Line with higher memory would be more likely to return to its original length and condition. So a line with a high Memory component is not necessarily a bad thing, just means you need to unspool it and tension it before a fishing trip if you intend casting a lot.
@@tinkertailor7385 Memory and rebound are two totally different things. I'm going to have to disagree with you.
Years ago, or maybe it was years and years ago, there was a show on TV where each week the guys tied and tested a fishing knot as a segment on the show, and then at the end of the season they gave out an award for the strongest knot, if I'm remembering correctly. They tested both commonly known knots and viewer submitted knots. Very interesting, but I like your presentation better as it compresses the time from months to, well, 18 minutes. Nice.
I have a knot that I guess I invented (seems unlikely) as I have never seen it tied by anyone but myself, so I have never seen it tested, either. Your set-up seems pretty simple so maybe I will finally get around to testing it myself -- I have used this knot for 50 years or more and never had a breakoff that was the fault of the knot...at least not that I could tell. I have used it from 2# mono up to 70# braid, and everything in between. If done right it is self aligning, which is pretty cool. I have used it to catch everything from sunfish to salmon and sturgeon with nary a breakoff. One time, when fishing light trout gear for whitefish in the north branch of the Cowlitz River, I hooked into a big salmon (most likely) or steelhead and, when it realized it was hooked, it headed down stream as they are likely to do. I tried to follow but couldn't because of the terrain, so I decide to break'um off -- couldn't do it and the devil stripped all the line to the spool knot, which is where it finally broke off. I feel sorry for that fish having to drag all the line around. I subscribed!
Consistently detailed, well thought out tests. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. It certainly changed my mind on what I will be using this year.
This is like if project farm did the testing. What a great job man, thanks.
This is awesome. Would love to see the same tests with monofilaments.
The price isn't very different. There isn't a ton of expensive mono....
This is a valuable piece of work, well done Tyler!
I appreciate your efforts in teaching through CZcams. I’ve been learning so much from you.
Dude, the amount of time performing these tests and then if you also edit this video all on your own…that is crazy! Great video and awesome info. Always enjoy your content! 👌🏼
... Agree,, Crazy time and cost ... Man needs to get a hobby .... MAYBE FISHING ...
Coming from an engineer, I love the process and different tests you went through. Thank you and good shit my man!!!
Very impressive and scientifically unbiased testing. Thank you so much for all your time, effort, and money spent on this. I’ll be buying something from your store as a way to express my appreciation. And I’ll be getting some SPRO line soon too.
Thanks for the great info you are putting out! Keep it up! Going to go and support Finn!
Prepare for Spro FC to go out of stock everywhere in 3…2….1…..
Have you found anywhere where they have it in stock yet?
plot twist...the best line isn't fluoro...but dont tell the fishing industry
As a newbie I have to ask.... What is the best?
@@danspanos Co polymer in most situations. Braid is the best for a few things. mono could be good in some instances. co poly is the best day in and day out for most all situations. strong, supple, and highly durable. P line CXX and McCoys mean green are some of the best
Tell me you have no idea what fluorocarbon is for. Without telling me LOL
@@JayJohnson-kz8nn watch and listen what pros say and pass it on. be a good little consumer ;)
Super awesome and thanks for taking the time/energy to do such an incredible breakdown. 🤙🏾
You have been on a roll with dropping valuable knowledge, thank you. Looking forward to what you do next.
*spro prices going up rn*
Broken link for 'best fishing line'.
So glad you are back! Amazing video. Hope to see another video soon. Thanks
Nicely done. Very informative. Thank you for posting this video.
Completely changed how I look at my line choices now. Excellent video. Please keep up the great work.
This is amazing work Tyler! Well done.
Another great video Tyler much appreciated how much time and effort you put into your videos. You definitely can see the passion you have for bass fishing. I think you put out the best content on CZcams about bass fishing I always look forward to seeing your new videos come out every week, especially with as much detail you put into your videos mad respect man and thanks for helping us all become better anglers. Keep up the good work, bud.
Amazing video man! I've watched a couple similar but this is by far the best! Keep up the great content. I for one one appreciate all your hard work and dedication bringing the fishing community such great knowledge.
Tyler, this is amazing. I started fully trusting your videos recently and this one only proves why I am a big fan of yours. 👍👍👍
You did a lot of great work here . Muchly enjoyed your hard/honest work .
Your videos are next level. Love it man! Excellent video, will help open up eyes to a lot of people.
Awesome video! Your patience and persistence is amazing!!!
I learned a lot…
Best fishing channel on CZcams!
Great video. Probably some of the best information on line. Love the channel.
Really great video! Keep doing comparison videos like this and you'll recoup the cost and then some. Fisherman want to know this stuff but dont have the means to do the test ourselves. So we appreciate you being able to do this for us and save us some money.
Coming from a guy who was purely salt water for the first 25 years of my life. I cannot begin to explain how helpful your videos are. Allot of time salt and fresh or even brackish fishing can all be so different that. So having this as reference is so valuable. Great test overall and I appreciate your desire for the most consistent data when testing. There’s so many die hard fans of different brands in the fishing game so having a none biased collection of data is also much appreciated.
Love this. Your dedication to the craft is incredible man, I’ve learned a lot browsing through your videos!!
Now this was some very useful and awesome info...thanks for doing this brother
That test is really eye opening, I appreciate the effort you put into it, thanks!
Awesome video and helpful data. My take away is Berkley Vanish is the best deal out there when price is a primary factor seeing that you can get it in large spools for $20.
Keep breaking the mold for what fishing content should look like Tyler.
Amazing video Tyler! Also respect for how well you edit these videos I know it’s not easy to do!!!
Thank you for performing these tests. I love your channel
Epic video. lot's of work went into this for sure. thanks!
Awesome video and work man! Marketing is a huge factor in the fishing industry and I appreciate you doing this. Looking forward to more 👍
Tyler, what an awesome video. Luv your channel. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. Keep it up.
Awesome video! Thank you for doing this!
Ok. This is the video that made me subscribe. Very impressed and thanks for the work into this.
Very thorough and well thought out test! Some great laughs in the video production as well!
Awesome video!! That must’ve been a lot of work, thanks for putting it all together!! I’d love if you did a test of fluoro versus copolymers and regular monofilaments. I think the results would surprise people a lot.
I used Yozuri T7 last year and I was impressed by it's attributes. Snagged some 16lb from the bank and didn't think I was going to break it. It scored well in your tests also. Good video! Hard to decide about line choice with everyone pushing their sponsors products!
I subscribed to your channel.😮 Look, I fish in the Swamp and marsh grass in South Mississippi. I'm kinda new to florocarbon line, because in the past it would break at the knot. I was used to power pro for my Buzzbaits and Frawgs and yes, we call em Frawgs down here 😅😂🤣😎🎣👍. Anyway, after watching Brent Ehrler tie a double uni for florocarbon line. Mono feels like fishing with a rubber band!!!😂 I have mixed emotions about what florocarbon to use. Best test I've ever seen!!!😎🎣👍 I still use Berkley big game on one med/heavy rod for walking and topwater baits,
Spooks, tiny torpedoes, popr's, exc, because it a floating line and the best for those kinda baits. Thanks a bunch for the time you spent doing these test. You are now right up there with my favorite fishermen. Stay Safe and GOD Bless Brother 🙏🕊😎🎣👍
thank you so much for all the time you spent and the hard work of testing these lines! you are awesome!!
Tyler! Another Grand Slam Video! I have been following you since the beginning and your videos have helped me truly grow and develop as bass angler. Before every Tuesday night bass club tournament, Im in my boat with one of your videos up tying on lures based on your advice and instruction. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Ever considered making a video like this on fishing etiquette? Our club has gone from 16-18 boats to 40+ post Covid and most of the new guys are terrible about following rules and fishing etiquette. Leads to a lot of conflict. Would love to see you use your influence to teach that important part of boating and fishing safety.
Awesome video, so much detail!!
Excellent investigational video, Tyler. Thank you!
Vanish killed it. Great job Berkeley
This is easily the best line comparison video I've ever seen on YT. Awesome work!
Thanks for putting the time man! To the tackle shop!!
Awesome video. Thanks for all the effort. I personally like some stretch in the fluorocarbon line but will use braid to fluoro leader if needing max sensitivity.
Best video I've watched in all my years of fishing,thank you
Instead of gushing about how awesome this video was - and it was - I’m just thinking that this must have been such a fun project to envision, design, modify, and implement to achieve your results. Bravo, well done, and it was indeed, a great one!!
That was a lot of work. Thanks for doing it and sharing with us Ty ler!
Great work. Love your detail and enthusiasm. You are very clear and extremely focused in all that you do. Thank you for that. You are not a "Hype Monkey" like many fishing CZcamsrs out there.
Top effort mate. Very informative and consistently interesting, but not too long.
