I’ve used this braid on both freshwater and saltwater setups. The hollow core makes it easy to topshot when needed. It’s strong, doesn’t tangle, and casts smoothly. The 100 lb test in 1000 meter spool is perfect for my spinning rig.
Andrew Lawrence –
Great strength for the diameter. I noticed no snags during casting and it holds up well in windy conditions. The hollow core feature saved me during a fishing trip when my reel spool dropped low after a break.

Solid product with good value. A bit more expensive than standard braids, but the performance and reliability justify the price. I’ve used it in both trout and bass fishing.
