What's difference between Line types?

[Domtaro]

In strength, It seems Braided is best.
Abrasion Resistance and Visibility affects for what?

I think as of right now.. those mechanics aren't in the game but.. Mono is your standard very stretchy line.. Fluoride line is good for float fishing, because the line is near invisible to fish, and braid line is for your baitcasting / spinning setups *bigger fish* braided line is like woven cloth instead of plastic wire.. which makes is stronger overall.. but the down side is it has no stretch so be careful with your drag settings!

In game I don't think the mechanics for line really exist but IRL:

Mono is basically super stretchy and was the first type of mass produced fishing line, it floats pretty well which sometimes makes topwater lures have better action. Downside is it's pretty thick compared to fluoro and braid.

Fluorocarbon line is somewhere between mono and braid in terms of stretchiness, but it's big upside is it's practically invisible in the water due to how it's made. It's generally my go-to line type IRL for most fishing since it's so versatile.

Braid has basically no stretch what-so-ever since it's made of a fabric braided together that's somewhat similar to strands of kevlar. It's typically used when fishing places with tons of weeds or if you're flipping jigs or frogs into pads/grass. Since there's no stretch to it, you tend to feel everything that touches your lure which can be great for fishing along the bottom. It's super thin too so you can fit a LOT of high strength line on your reel, while at the same time having a really smooth cast. Tends to be super popular for salt water or people chasing massive catfish or carp.

Now I'm kinda wondering if we'll ever get a mechanic for having 1 type of line with a different type of line as a leader. Like braided line with a Fluorocarbon leader on it.

I got it, thank you.
It might just flavor for now, I see.

I'm really hoping they actually add line differences, as it is now; it's purely cosmetic. Do you want highly visible colored line, white line, or black line.
