Bob Gwizdz: Plenty of good options when it comes to today’s fishing lines

Featured, Features, Fishing, Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

Fifty years ago, choosing a fishing line was pretty simple. It was all monofilament all the time.
Introduced in 1939, mono became the go-to line for most anglers by the 1950s.

I was spring gobbler hunting many years ago in the Pocono Mountains. It was close to noon, and I was heading down the side of a mountain on a warm sunny day.
