Fishing Tips

Clip Fingernails to Stop Nicks

You may not feel fingernails stroke the line and damage it, but formed nicks will cost you a fish

Timothy Kusherets

If fingernails can get this close to a corkie you can bet they'll get a lot closer to fishing line. Look how close fingernails come within proximity of the fishing line, corkie, and toothpick. The tip of any nail, dull or otherwise, can nick the diameter of fishing line making it substantially weaker than the original test. Ten-pound test with a nicked line can have the capabilities of six-pound test.

fingernails can create nicks in monofilament during any time of handling it. When fingernails extend beyond the tips of fingers there is a great risk of nicking line accidentally and you may never know it. Fish can easily be lost due to nicks and are worth taking ever effort to avoid, even if it means taking a little time to clip fingernails. This is yet another step to ensure that all the advantages of angling go to fishermen and not the fish. the guy behind the counter might hurt himself with laughter.
