PE Mainline Selection by Fish Species
PE Mainline Selection Matrix by Fish Species
Target Species | PE Line # | Breaking Strength | Critical Factors |
Small Fish (Minnows, Roach <1lb) | #0.4～0.8 | ≥3× fish weight | Ultra-thin line for bite sensitivity |
Medium Fish (Bass, Perch 3-5lb) | #1.0～1.5 | >17.6lb knot strength | Upgrade for rock/weed abrasion resistance |
Large Fish (Carp, Snook >10lb) | #2.0～3.0 | 5× fish weight multiplier | Handles violent runs |
Toothfish (Barracuda, Grouper >20lb) | #4.0+ anti-abrasion | Wire leader required | Prevents bite-offs in heavy structure |
Leader Pairing Protocol
Scenario | PE Mainline + Leader | Key Function |
Clear Water | #0.8 PE + 8lb Fluorocarbon | Low visibility, higher hookup rate |
Rocky Areas | #2.0 PE + 16lb Carbon Leader | 300% abrasion resistance boost |
Tooth Species | #5.0 PE + 80lb Wire Leader | 100% bite-off prevention |
