Nylon monofilament: Diameter and sensitivity

Stretch can soften long-distance fine control, but nylon still transmits force. This project's default for precise bottom contact is PE or suitable fluorocarbon. Thinner line may reduce drag and bending restriction but sacrifices margin. Short leaders cannot be judged like a whole spool of main line.

Extruded nylon: cheap, knots beautifully, floats slowly and stretches 20-30 % — a rubber band that keeps a topwater on top and has no business on any rig you feel or set.
