Quick take
A UHMWPE 8-strand braided line with extensive test and length options, white color for angler visibility.
This white braided line is rated at 80 lb test with a 0.48 mm diameter and 109 yards on the spool, a fit for heavier saltwater and cover fishing. Its polyethylene build carries little stretch, which suits feeling light bites through grass, mats and structure. The eight-strand diamond weave is round and has little spool memory, so it runs well on spinning reels. Bass and walleye anglers can compare the lighter sizes in this family to match the line to their target.
