Product Description
Our 9-Strand SuperBraid uses a tight, round 9-carrier construction to deliver a smoother surface and more stable profile than typical 4- or 8-strand braids. The result? Longer casts, quieter retrieves, superior sensitivity, and dependable handling on both spinning and casting gear. From finesse presentations to power techniques in grass, wood, and rock, this line is tuned for modern anglers who demand consistent performance day in and day out.
- Premium PE fibers with a compact, round lay for reduced friction and fewer wind knots.
- High abrasion focus for grinding around docks, shell, grass, and laydowns.
- Ultra-low stretch for instant transmission of ticks, lifts, and slack-line bites.
- Small diameter-to-strength ratio to cut water and improve lure responsiveness.
- Consistent colorfast finish designed to minimize fading and bleed.
Key Benefits
Round 9-carrier profile glides through guides for effortless distance and accuracy.
Quiet on the retrieve with crisp feedback to read bottom, grass, and subtle bites.
Built to grind around pads, wood, docks, and shell without flinching.
Tight weave resists digging on the spool and helps reduce wind knots.
Recommended Uses
- Bass: frogging, flipping/pitching, swim jigs, chatterbaits, deep cranking (with fluoro leader), finesse Neko/Wacky (spinning), dropshot (spinning).
- Crappie/Panfish: long-lining, single-pole jigging, dock shooting (with light mono/fluoro leader).
- Inshore: speckled trout, redfish, snook—topwaters, spoons, jigheads (leader recommended).
- Catfish/Stripers: live bait and heavy rigs where power and abrasion resistance matter.
Technique-Based Line Size Guide
Choose braid strength by technique and cover; add an appropriate leader when stealth, sink, or abrasion management is needed.
| Technique | Rod/Reel | Recommended Braid | Typical Leader (optional) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finesse (Ned, Wacky, Neko, Dropshot) | Spinning | 10–15 lb | 6–10 lb fluoro | Max casting distance and sensitivity; long leaders for clear water. |
| Swimbaits / Swim Jigs / Chatterbaits | Casting | 25–40 lb | 12–20 lb fluoro | Great in grass; leader adds shock absorption. |
| Cranking (lipless, deep crank) w/ Leader | Casting | 15–25 lb | 10–14 lb fluoro | Use a moderate rod + fluoro leader for proper give. |
| Topwater (Walking, Poppers, Trebles) | Casting/Spinning | 25–40 lb | 12–20 lb mono/leader | Mono leader helps keep baits up and preserves action. |
| Frogging in Grass/Pads | Casting (H/Ex-H) | 60 lb | None or short mono | Maximum power and cut through vegetation. |
| Flipping/Pitching Wood, Docks, Heavy Cover | Casting (H) | 40–60 lb | 20–25 lb fluoro (short) | Short leader for abrasion on wood or zebra shell. |
| Crappie / Panfish (Jigging, Dock Shooting, Long-Line) | Spinning | 10–15 lb | 4–8 lb mono/fluoro | High visibility + sensitivity for light bites. |
| Inshore (Trout, Reds, Snook) | Spinning | 15–40 lb | 15–30 lb fluoro | Adjust for water clarity and structure. |
| Catfish / Stripers (Live Bait, Heavy Rigs) | Casting/Conventional | 40–60 lb | 40–60 lb mono/leader | Power to turn big fish in current and around structure. |
Guidelines above are general starting points—dial in based on cover, lure weight, and local conditions.

FAQs
What makes 9-strand different from 4- or 8-strand braid?
A 9-carrier construction allows a rounder, smoother profile with less guide friction and a quieter retrieve, while maintaining sensitivity and strength.
Do I need a leader?
Leaders are optional but recommended for treble-hook baits, toothy fish, ultra-clear water, or when you want added abrasion resistance and sink characteristics.
Will the color fade?
All dyed braids can fade with use. Our colorfast finish is designed to minimize fade and bleed. Rinsing after salt use and avoiding harsh cleaners helps longevity.
Spinning vs. casting—what pound test should I choose?
Spinning: 10–15 lb for finesse & distance. Casting: 15–40 lb for reaction baits and grass, 40–60 lb for frogging/flipping in heavy cover.
Is this line good for saltwater?
Yes—great for inshore species. Pair with an appropriate leader, re-tie after abrasion, and rinse gear after use.
