Ande Backcountry Fishing Line Review

I have available through the years and kept coming back to Ande. Started back in the 80s using Trilene XL in 17 pound test for worming, 20 pound test for jigging, and 12 pound test for cranking. I found that much lighter test in Ande could work better. There seemed to be less stretch and obviously was a much tougher monofilament. Only disadvantage to the Back Country looks to be that nobody will carry the lighter weights in the big spools. (basspro.com)

Ande line has some number of excellent qualities. 1st, it’s thinner than other brands of equal breaking strength. Next, I’m convinced that fish don’t see the green tinted line well; surely they aren’t spooked by it. Another feature is the fact that when you’re spinning, and your line becomes twisted and in need of regular straightening as it inevitably does, if a snarl develops Ande looks quite frictionless; it looks that if you pull on the tangle reasonably softly it’ll come separately rather easily without attaching upon itself into a hard knot, it’s very strong and attrition tolerant. I once decided that it was the best when I spent an hour near Chincoteague, Virginia, subduing then releasing a sixty-plus pound stingray with Ande Green Premium Monofilament 15 lb.

Nylon does have some drawbacks. The line will stretch some up to 30 under strain more than braid or fluorocarbon. This stretch means the line will dampen or take in light hits, and you may not generally feel them. Also, when trying to turn a fish from obstructions then the stretch then will make that task more hard. But this same feature is a benefit in some scenarios, like fishing a topwater where the fish may slam your bait and the stretch will help with the hook set. Monofilament is less attrition tolerant than either fluorocarbon or braid. Consequently, use around dock and bridge pilings and rocks isn’t suggested. (sportsmenscompass.com)

ANDE line packages and markets their lines a bit different than their competitors. Instead of selling ANDE line by the YD they sell the line by the LB. This is where the savings for the buyers comes in. You may be able to buy ANDE PREMIUM MONOFILAMENT in 1/8 lb to 9 lb spools. We bought lb, lb and 1 lb spools in all sizes mentioned above, although we buy most of our lines in bulk we still saved money buying ANDE by the LB at regular retail prices. (guidebc.com)

Many Fluorocarbon lines I have tested far have been excellent by invisibility under water, but all have been a bit too inflexible for my tastes. This is particularly the case when it comes to lines between 2-6lbs. With light lines like this you’re most probably tossing the lightest of lures, and any added hardness in the line not only decreases your casting distance and accuracy, however increases the chances of those nasty line twists.

It was my 1st time in Florida and visiting the Everglades. The friend that I accompanied had been out with Capt. Rodney some number of times over the past 4 years and had tremendous trips every time so my expectations were high. To say the least, we took two half day trips and each were remaining. I was able to notch off 7 fish from my can list as well as keeper sized reds, specks, snook, gags, and mangrove snapper with smaller sized red grouper and lady fish and 2 species of catfish were caught. We had hookups with monster Goliath’s also. If you’re in any of the area around southwestern Florida you have to take a trip to visit Rodney and have a backwater fishing trip of your life! he’s the most reasonable prices around and will give you a great history lesson on the area that he knows like that back of his hand.

My wife and I with our two sons ages 6 and 10 spent this morning with Captain Rodney fishing and exploring the backwaters of Everglades National Park. We loved every minutes of the trip – Captain Rodney is a fountain of info. He was patient with the kids and taught them how to hook the tackle and cast the fishing line – we caught some fish with him. He also took us around the birds roosting grounds, around mangroves, and to an island for some exploring! It was great fun. We also got lunch from him – really nice turkey sandwiches with chips and fruit – which made the trip annoyance free! greatly recommend Captain Rodney and his backwater fishing morning tour.

It's hard to defeat wilderness fishing. To some, the name ‘backcountry' means choppers flying 24/7 and guides galore – fishing only for those who can pay for it. But if you know the right people, real backcountry isn’t that hard to find: a little planning and some homework is all that's obliged. Sure, you may want to line at the Tongariro River with all the rest of the world, however wouldn't you like to treat yourself just once in a while to some new, ‘undiscovered' water? (stuff.co.nz)
