Top Five Braided Fishing Lines


Braided fishing lines are popular with fishermen because they are thinner and more durable than traditional mono lines. They are used in many specialty situations where a stronger, more visible or even less visible line option is needed. They are commonly used on both baitcasting and spinning reels. Below are five of the top braided fishing lines that are available on the market today.

Power Pro Microfilament Line - Power Pro is widely considered to be the most popular brand of braided line available. They have several different options in terms of line material, thickness and strength. This brand of line is specifically designed to not have many of the common problems that some braided lines come with. They are tangle resistant, gentle on line guides and reels and can be used for both spinning and baitcasting applications. Power Pro line does not stretch. This makes it perfect for situations where fishermen need to feel even the slightest pull. There are many different test and length options available.

SpiderWire Stealth - This line is made with microfibers that have been treated with Teflon. It is meant to be a quiet line for casting and retrieving. Many fishermen marvel at the strength of SpiderWire line and routinely report catching fish over its test limit quite easily. It a popular line for use in many salt water fishing situations.

Berkley FireLine - This line made for a spinning reel or baitcasting reel is known for its smooth braid. This smoothness allows it to glide swiftly through the water while minimizing the reel damage that some braided lines can cause. The ease with which Berkley FireLine can be seen in the water is one reason why fishermen have grown to like it so much. It is great for fishing situations where the line may be difficult to see. These situations could include areas where waters have become muddy or grown over by thick vegetation.

Stren Sonic Braid - Sonic Braid line typically comes in a blue and clear coloring and has a fluorescent appearance in the water. It is easy to knot but still retains the very tight and non-stretchy feel that users of braided line desire so much. Sonic Braid is a line that many fisherman claim casts very far without much effort.

Sufix 832 - This braided line is known for its very small line width and ability to float through the water while staying undetected by fish. It comes in a green color that blends easily with most waters. It is a very tightly braided line and has 32 braids per inch. These weaves are done with eight different fiber types. Line of this strength and thinness are perfect for situations where fishermen want to keep their lines from getting tangled in vegetation growing in the water.

These are five of the most well known and highly used types of braided lines on the market. Each of these are thin, durable options for any spinning reel or baitcasting reel fishing scenario. It is important for fishermen to explore a few different options when it comes to fishing lines. Some may be better than others for the exact type of fishing they do most often.
