Quick take
A no-stretch metal line with soft coating for vertical jigging and micro jigs with direct rod feel.
Daiwa's Thick Sword Metal line is a purple metal line with a 12 lb rating, wound on a thin spool with no outer box. Its soft coating resists kinking, and its low elongation lets the rod's action carry through to a jig lure. Anglers who fish metal line for jigs and want a compact spool in this 12 lb size will find it suited to that job.
