SpiderWire UltraCast Invisi-Braid A translucent braided superline - only from SpiderWire Invisi-Braid construction with Dyneema GSP fibers is a SpiderWire patented process for a superline that is nearly invisible underwater— a first for braided lines.
The unique combination of using the very best materials, unmatched construction techniques and a patented cold fusion process generates a higher tensile strength and greater strength per diameter line. It is also constructed with a higher pick count for unparalleled roundness and durability. This gives anglers longer and more accurate casts with a fishing line, and it has a longer life than other braids.
Amazingly thin, extremely sensitive for both freshwater and saltwater applications. SpiderWire UltraCast outcasts and outlasts any other braid and the superline is amazingly thin and sensitive. Now with Invisi-Braid it is the ultimate braid, letting you flip and pitch into mats of vegetation in the clearest of waters without fear of the fish detecting my line. The line is so smooth it performs without fail on spinning and baitcasting tackle.
For Freshwater and Saltwater Multi-species, Invisi-Braid comes in pound tests of 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 65, 80, and Spool sizes of 125-yard fillers, 300-yard fillers, 1100-yard bulk (bulk in 10-80 only).
