Beyond Braid x8 : 15lb Braid

Beyond Braid 8x : 15lb Braid

CAST FURTHER & LASTS LONGER– Smooth fluoropolymer coating that allows for more efficient casts and longer distances every time. A thinner diameter slices through your guides and allows you to pack more line onto your reel.
NO STRETCH FOR EXTREME SENSITIVITY– Braided line PE fibers have no stretch properties which allow you to feel every bite and have instant hooksets increasing your hookup ratio.
8X STRANDS– Our 8X braid has 8 tightly woven PE fibers for a thinner, smoother, and ultra-performing line. Having 8 strands gives this line a much rounder and more natural feel, which results in farther casts and a smoother experience every time.
LOW MEMORY– Helps keep your line straight during casting which leads to less wind knots, tangles, and will extend the life of your braid.
ABRASION RESISTANT– Ultra-strong construction allows you to yank fish out of the toughest of situations. Whether fishing around structure of bridges or heavy cover/vegetation, Beyond Braid will hold up and get you out of any tough spot.
