Sufix NanoBraid : 12lb Braid

Sufix NanoBraid 12lb Braid

Sufix NanoBraid® is built with a wide angle braiding technology that creates higher tension on the braiding process resulting in a tight weave and super strong, silky smooth line.

Three times stronger than other lines in the category
Tight weave
Super strong
Silky smooth Abrasion resistance
Superior knot and shock strength
Extremely sensitive

Key Statistics

Measured Average Diameter: .298mm (186% on stated .16mm)
Out of Roundness: .18mm (60.4% variation in diameter)
Measured Breaking Strain: 23.97lbs (199.75% of rated 12lbs)
Abrasion Breaking Strain: 8.9lbs (37.13% of max break)
FG Knot Breaking Strain: 20.01lbs (83.48% of max break)

Very unique construction, being what appears to be an x3 braid. This creates a line that seems to be very flat.

Both maximum tensile strength and abrasion tensile strength were below average. FG Knot strength was quite good, and is actually 3rd out of all lines tested as a percentage of maximum breaking strain.
