Quick take
A heavy lead core line with 10-yard color markers for trolling at controlled depths in deep water.
This is a 36 lb lead core trolling line from Reaction Tackle, a braided jacket over a dense lead center that pulls lures down. The color changes every 10 yards, running through a ten-color sequence that repeats about every 100 yards, so you can count out line and repeat a setup. It suits anglers trolling for deeper fish who want to set depth by the length of line let out.
Best for
- Trolling for salmon and trout at precise depths
- Offshore and deep water fishing for pelagic species
- Anglers who need to reach specific depth zones quickly
Skip if
- You primarily cast or present baits rather than troll
- You fish shallow water where lead core is unnecessary
Strengths
- 100% lead core sinks rapidly for reaching deep fish
- Color markings every 10 yards simplify depth control and tracking
- Braided outer sheath is durable for long trolling sessions
Trade-offs
- Lead weight makes the line heavy and tiring to handle
- Trolling requires specialized reels that accept lead core
- Depth control depends on correct line measurement and counting
