Quick take
Eight-strand Japanese braid with multicolor pattern for jigging and deep water presentation.
This 300-meter spool of braided polyethylene line is made in Japan and comes in a 0.215 mm diameter rated at 20.8 kg, roughly 46 lb. Its eight-strand round braid keeps the diameter small for that strength, which suits anglers who fish jigs in fresh and salt water.
Best for
