What type of line should I choose?
Basically there are 4 types of line we offer with our spooling services, here is a summary of what we recommend to use.
Braided Line Low Visibility (Low Vis)
This line is great for pretty much anything, bait or lures it’s a very good choice for allround fishing. It is tough, hard wearing and casts extremely well.
Braided Line High Visibility (Hi Vis)
This line is specifically designed for lure anglers in mind but you can also use it for any fishing applications. It’s high visibility makes it perfect for detecting shy bites, it’s also hard wearing and its thin diameter makes it very easy to cast light lures long distances, a great choice for allround fishing.
Braided Line Multi Coloured (Multi)
This line is multi coloured and changes colour every 10 meters. This is extremely handy when fishing from a boat or casting from the shore and you want to measure how far your bait or lure is away from you. Simply count the colours and you know how much line you have out, again this line is extremely tough wearing and is very good for long distance casting.
Monofilament Line (Nylon)
Still a practical choice, this high grade monofilament line is the perfect balance between suppleness and toughness, it has low memory for less tangles and is perfect for bait fishing.
What is backing? (Braided lines only)
On some of the reels we will use monofilament backing on the spool first then put braid over the top. We do this for 2 reasons, to pack the reel out to make sure the braid is at the top of the spool which will help you cast further and also to stop braided line spinning on a bare spool. We always join the backing to the braid so if you did need an extra bit of line for a fish you don’t need to worry as you will have that little bit more!
Can I do something different?
Of course! Just reach out to us, we’re pretty keen anglers ourselves and understand that you sometimes need something else. It’s not a problem, just pop us an email or give us a call, we will answer it!
Tips for fishing with new line
We have found with braided line sometimes you need to fish with the line a few times first to remove some of the treatments from manufacturing so it’s common to have a few more tangles on new reels. Our advice is to keep fishing, you will find with braided line once the line wears in the tangles are a lot rarer.
A king amongst men, Certate has always set a standard in poise and power, and the release of the Certate LT elevates those traits to a new level. A level of refinement and strength rarely achieved and seldom seen.
Meticulously designed, unwavering in strength, and unmatched in performance and longevity Certate has always been synonymous with innovation and the new Certate LT heralds a new dawn and a new era, where Certate is Next Strong. The Certate LT combines Daiwa’s most advanced technologies and designs to deliver anglers a reel with few peers. Made in Japan, the foundation of the new Certate is its aluminium Monocoque body.
A Monocoque body eliminates the need for a side plate and allows a more rigid body to be made and larger gears to be used for improved winding power and torque. The Certate LT’s forged machine-cut Tough Digigear is 2mm larger in diameter than its closest competitor. Combining the benefits of our MQ Monocoque body, and new gear design, 19 Certate is more durable, smoother & more powerful than all others. 19 Certate’s Monocoque body is our most advanced, lightest and strongest body we’ve ever developed for a Certate.
Strength is one thing, but smoothness of a fishing reel is often the easiest feature to feel and 19 Certate again raises the bar in this realm. Rotation efficiency is up 15%, creating an effortless feel when retrieving. This increase in efficiency is thanks to three main parts. A super-rigid stainless steel main shaft, MQ Monocoque body and the precision cut forged aluminium Tough Digigear.
Classic in looks, yet modern and advanced in technology and design the new Certate LT continues the famous reel’s rich history for evolution and excellence. Technology to feel, and refinement that’s sublime, the new Certate LT is Next Strong.
Combining additional features like Long Cast ABS spool, Mag Seal, ATD drag, one-piece Air Bail, new Drag Knob, Perfect Line Stopper, Machined Aluminium Air Handle, and Air Rotor combining to make the new Certate LT our most advanced Certate ever.
