KATLINE™ Fluorescent Braided Line — Built for Big Catfish
High-visibility, night-friendly braid engineered for trophy blues, flatheads, and channel cats. UV/blacklight-reactive fluorescent sheen for perfect line tracking from boat or bank.
Night & Low-Light Visibility
Fluorescent sheen glows brilliantly under UV/blacklight bars for perfect line tracking day or night.
Pull Hard, Break Less
High tensile strength UHMWPE for trophy fish, big timber, and shell beds.
Sensitive to Soft Takes
Low stretch transmits taps from channels to thumping flats.
Knots That Hold
Round, slick braid seats tight with Palomar, Uni, or San Diego Jam. Long casting + low memory.
Santee Cooper / Carolina Rig
Long casts, drifting, and dragging over flats. 60–80 lb for all-around use.
Anchored Spreads & Night Fishing
Multi-rod spreads at night—fluorescent line tracking is a game-changer under UV/blacklight bars.
Trophy Blues & Flatheads
80–100 lb for heavy current, big timber, 6–12 oz sinkers, and brutal structure.
Pro Tips
- Fill spools to ~1/16" below the lip to maximize casting without overruns.
- Use UV/blacklight at night to watch for bow, slack, and crossovers in spreads.
- Inspect the first 6–8 feet of line often; trim back if you see fray after snags.
- For rivers with heavy current, step up one test rating to compensate for sinker load and abrasion.
- Pair with a 40–80 lb mono/fluoro leader for shock absorption and abrasion protection above the sinker and near the hook.
- Store away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use. Rinse with fresh water after gritty or brackish sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does KATLINE glow under a blacklight?
Yes. The fluorescent finish is UV-reactive and becomes highly visible under common catfishing blacklight bars, making night fishing line control dramatically easier.
What pound-test should I choose?
For channels or light current, 30–40 lb works well. For mixed fisheries and all-around use, 50–65 lb is the sweet spot. For trophy blues/flatheads, heavy current, and rough cover, 80–100 lb is recommended.
Which knots work best with this braid?
Palomar and Uni are reliable for terminal connections. For leaders, the FG knot offers excellent strength and profile. Always wet the knot and cinch slowly to prevent heat-build.
Should I run a leader with braid for catfish?
Often yes. A mono or fluorocarbon leader (40–80 lb) adds shock absorption, abrasion protection near structure, and an easy break-point if you need to free a snag.
Is this line only for catfish?
No. While designed for catfishing, KATLINE also excels for other big-game freshwater species like striped bass and musky, and can be used for select inshore salt applications where high visibility is desired.
Complete Your Catfish Setup
- KATLEADER™ Heavy-Duty Leader: Pair KATLINE mainline with a KATLEADER section for maximum abrasion and shock protection.
- Dial in your setup: Pick the pound-test to match current, cover, and bait size—then add a mono/fluoro leader for maximum abrasion control.
KATLINE™ Fluorescent Braided Line is a high-visibility, UV/blacklight-reactive braided fishing line engineered for trophy catfishing. Built with ultra-strong UHMWPE fibers for brute pulling power, low stretch sensitivity, and enhanced abrasion resistance in rock, timber, shell, and brush. Also excellent for stripers, musky, pike, gar, and select inshore applications.
