Quick take
4-strand braided line made of UHMWPE with zero stretch and superior sensitivity for detecting light bites in freshwater and saltwater.
This blue braided line comes on a 1000-meter spool, about 1,093 yards, and is rated at 20 lb with a 0.20 mm diameter. It is made from four strands of polyethylene fiber and is intended for saltwater and freshwater use, from sea and lake fishing to ice fishing. Anglers who want a thin line for its test weight will find this spool a fitting option.
