Lines

Lines are a necessary component of one's fishing gear in Fishing Planet. A line may only be equipped after a reel is equipped, which in turn requires a rod. Within one's gear set, the line should be the weakest link as it is the cheapest and thus the easiest to replace or repair when it eventually breaks. There are two primary characteristics of lines in Fishing Planet: line weight and variety used.

Line Weight:
Line weight is the heaviest fish that one may reasonably expect this line to pull without breaking.

Varieties:
There are three different varieties of fishing line available: Mono, Fluoro, and Braid. All three varieties are capable of most Line Weights, but only Fluoro is capable of the 40lb line at end-game. The primary difference prior to that, then, is durability and visibility. Visibility impacts just how readily fish are willing to bite making the least visible line the most attractive. Because of this, Fluoro is generally the preferred line to use when available.
 * 1) Mono:  The most basic of lines, Mono line is somewhat visible and takes the most damage from snags.
 * 2) Fluoro:  The most advanced of lines, Fluoro is the least visible and takes little damage from snags.
 * 3) Braid:  Braid lines are the most visible, but are also the most resistant to damage.
