These braided lines are excellent choice for plunking for salmon and fihsing pikes with heavier lures. 8-strand braided line is soft, extremely strength and slides smoothly when casted. Braided line offers greater strength at much smaller diameters compared to mono or fluorocarbon line. Due to low stretch enables you to more easily sense nibbles and bites. Line is coloured yellow so you can see it easily in the water and notice bottom touches and strikes. Remember to use non-slip knots with braided line. It's easiest to cut braided line with braided line scissors. You can use braided line also as bottom line on fly fishing.
