For example, the 10lb version is just. Smackdown currently comes in Stealth Gray and Flash Green colors. Stealth Gray ranges from 10 to 65lb test, while Flash Green is only 10 to 30lb test. Flash Green would be best for use as a hi-vis mainline on spinning rods, paired with a fluorocarbon leader. When I first started bass fishing as a teenager, all there was to choose from at my local tackle store was Fireline and Spiderwire.
So I started fishing with Spiderwire Stealth for a long time after that. Spiderwire Stealth is manufactured by the mega-brand Pure Fishing. Like Sufix, Spiderwire is constructed from Dyneema polyethylene fibers and is treated with a fluoropolymer coating that is designed to enhance handling and castability.
Spiderwire is smooth and easy to cast, but it tends to lose its color faster than my other favorite braided lines. Fireline is actually a thermally fused line, which gives it that different texture. It has a little bit of wiry memory to it that makes it stick to spinning reel spools better than slick braids. The standard color of choice is Smoke, but Fireline Crystal has become popular more recently. Crystal is not as clear as fluorocarbon, but it is far more translucent underwater than regular Fireline.
NanoFil is another excellent superline for spinning reels, especially ultralights. The result is a line with a super-thin diameter, that is smooth and round like mono, but strong like a braided line. The one thing you need to understand before trying NanoFil is that you need to be careful about your knot choices.
The smooth and slick line is great for casting on spinning gear, but using the wrong knots can lead to frustration. Because it is so useful in almost any fishing situation. When fishing in clear water, it makes for an excellent mainline to which to can tie a leader of your favorite fluorocarbon line.
In stained waters, there is usually no need to tie a leader, and braid can be your all-purpose line. Finally, braid excels at fishing heavy cover thanks to its toughness and no-stretch. Here are some other benefits to braid that you might not know. Braided superlines have a lot of commendable qualities: great casting, super strength, and extreme sensitivity. What sets them apart are the details of color, colorfastness, and overall quality.
In these categories, Sufix is a real standout. All braids cast well and provide superior strength for diameter; this line shines in its range of color choices and ability to withstand sun and water. But if you need a wider range of tests than Sufix offers, we recommend you take a close look at Power Pro.
Another excellent choice is Daiwa J-Braid x8, which is nearly as good as the Sufix. Last Updated: January 6th, About The Author. Pete D. Notify of. Inline Feedbacks. About Contact Privacy Policy. Additionally, USAngler. Braided lines True braided lines are made by taking high performance polyethylene fibres and weaving or braiding them together to create a single multi-strand fishing line. The process of weaving the lines is mechanically intensive so braided lines take relatively longer times to manufacture.
Once made, the spools of bulk braided lines are put in a chamber filled with dye or are unwound with the line passing through a tray of dyed resin. This process allow transfers the dye solution onto the line creating the various coloured fishing lines you see on your tackle shop shelves. This is done by intertwining the fibred then heating the strand to a temperature which causes the fibres to melt and fuse to one another.
This fusing process is much faster than braiding and creates a line that is typically stiffer than braid and more cost effective. Carrier or strand count Each individual strand of high performance polyethylene fibre is called a carrier. A four carrier braid is braided with four strands of polyethylene fibre whilst an 8 carrier braid used with strands.
A braided line constructed from eight carriers will be smoother, rounder, and quieter when passing through rod guides. As a result, it will generally cast further. However, 8-carrier lines tend to be more expensive. As a result, PowerPro is a round, smooth, and sensitive line that also saws through vegetation and stands up to abrasion.
It is the value-priced workhorse of the PowerPro line-up. Uses: PowerPro is a great all-around choice, especially when fishing heavy cover and weedbeds.
Excellent for bottom-fishing, jigging, and trolling. Its thin diameter allows anglers to maximize reel capacity and downsize tackle. Uses: Maxcuatro is a high-end, advanced fishing line for serious anglers.
