Quick take
An all-around carbon nylon line with good sensitivity and durability for varied freshwater and saltwater applications.
This blue Duel line is a carbon nylon copolymer in the No. 2 size, with a diameter of about 0.235 mm and a breaking strength around 9 lb. It is built as an all-round line for lure fishing and surf fishing, so it suits anglers who want one spool for several styles. The blue tint also makes it easy to follow on the water.

Skip if

- You fish in heavy weeds; braided line cuts vegetation better
Strengths
