Quick Guide to Braid Properties

Why are braids becoming so popular? Braided lines offer a combination of characteristics that cannot be matched by single strand lines. By mixing and matching the materials, the braiding sequence and the method of manufacture we can craft a braid that will fit perfectly to any style of fishing.

Super Braid (Spectron, Micronite)- super low stretch (3-4%), lowest diameter per pound test, high abrasion resistance. Low stretch means increased sensitivity and hook setting power.

Dacron (Micron, Musky Master, Green Spot)- minimum stretch (12-20%) - excellent abrasion resistance- ideal trolling line, easily spliced, superior knot strength, lends itself to many special uses including fly lines core and backing.

Nylon (Camo, Black)- most stretch- most abrasion resistance- economical, extremely tough lines used where some "give" in the line is needed and maximum abrasion resistance required
