Fishing line is a consumable material in the summer-autumn season. Either mow the grass or trim the bushes. And over time, there is less and less material left in the spool. To save more money but still get good line, we've put together some tips on what the best trimmer line is in the 3mm category. Let's get started!

Is it necessary to select the shape of the fishing line for a brush cutter?

In the store you can find plastic wire options ranging from different colors to formats. The most common forms include the following:

• Round is the most popular because of its inexpensive cost. Suitable for any type of scythe: both electric and petrol. You can use this wire to mow both fresh grass and dried shrubs. If you want to mow small grass on the lawn, we do not recommend it. It's all about the principle of operation of the trimmer line. She does not mow down the greenery, but directly “tears” it, and the tears begin to turn yellow. You don’t want to end up with dead wood by mid-summer, do you?

• Line with a square section. This option is the sharpest, so it copes with dry weeds better than others. It is recommended to install it on medium-power brush cutters, and also if you have a large area. For other purposes it is an ineffective waste of money.
• Five-pointed – works on dry and fresh grass and shrubs.Disadvantage – severe wear (may accidentally break off before the intended time). It is also the most expensive option in the segment.
• Triangle – for a neat cut. Perfect for a young lawn.

These are the main section options. If you like “exotic”, then you can look at a few more options, for example:

• Of 4 petals - it is rare in Russia, but is considered universal, like the round one. Weeds, weeds or young shoots - she is not afraid of anything. Also, after mowing the lawn with such a fishing line, the grass grows smoother.
• Multifaceted - used to remove large weeds.
• Oval - against burdocks and other fleshy weeds. You can find a similar version of the section in professional lawn mowers.
• Square helix is ​​a mixture of round and square wire. The disadvantage of this option is that sometimes you have to stop the reel during operation to adjust the line. Stops when mowing.
• Fishing line with reinforced particles - consists of several components.

The last option is a great way to equip your trimmer with 3mm fishing line. The wire has a metal core and a plastic winding. Can have any of the presented sections. It differs from the rest in its practically indestructible properties. Mow the grass or the hay. The maximum diameter of the cut trunk is 3 cm!

What material should you choose fishing line consumables from?

The most popular and at the same time inexpensive are nylon fishing lines (or polypropylene). The option is durable and lightweight. Some products may contain polyethylene. This is done to reduce production costs. We do not recommend taking these. If you really need a strong fishing line, why save?

The analogue for a plastic fishing line is a metal cable.The option exists, but is highly discouraged due to several properties:

• The service life of the scythe is reduced as the metal breaks down the structural parts over time.
• Elements of the cable can fly off anywhere.

This way you can get more than just a bruise or a cut. The cable cuts everything, it is difficult to stop it - don’t even try to try to mow with such “nonsense”!

Selecting wire for the type of work

There is a division into several groups - how and where we are going to work with fishing line:

• Weekly maintenance of home lawns or gardens;
• Scheduled mowing of the site;
• Restoring abandoned areas, mowing after a long period of inactivity (where the weeds are already a meter long).

For the first option, you can take a fishing line with cutting edges or any other universal option. In the next two variations, any figured fishing line is suitable - it outperforms round fishing line in terms of cutting quality and aerodynamics. Remember the disadvantage - rapid wear of components.

Now you know what material and section you should use a 3 mm fishing line for your trimmer. Leave comments with your recommendations for readers. Have a nice day!
