Reaction Tackle High Performance Braided Fishing Line

Update: I purchased the red version of this line and it was not a happy story. The line bled when it got wet. It turned my fingers red and bled on my reels...........I posted a 2 star review and was contacted by the seller Chad. He was VERY gracious and advised me that red is a hard color to produce for braid line. They had issues with the red braid bleeding. He promptly offered me a refund or an exchange for a different color. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and ordered 500 yds. of 30 # GREEN braid. He thanked me for the chance to make it right and sent out an order of the 30# green. NO CHARGE !!!!!!! The line arrived a few days later and I spooled up my Shimano Cardiffs with the new line. I use it for striper and fluke fishing at Sandy Hook, NJ.The new line is SUPER !!! No bleeding and strong as hell ! I would put this up against the competition any time, any day. AND, it is one third of the price ! This gentlemen is a standup guy ! AND, HE STANDS BEHIND HIS PRODUCTS.!!!My cousin was also impressed with the line. SUPER STRONG and very pliable.If you are looking for a quality product, from a company who offers outstanding customer service, Reaction Tackle and it's owner, Chad, are the REAL DEAL. They have a satisfied customer, AND a repeat buyer. JJP

Chad,As an avid amateur fisherman who spends over 3 days per week on the water all year around. Also as a consumer of countless of thousands of dollars worth of fishing related gear. I must say that I can attest to the quality of your camo braid line.I've been using the 10 pound green camouflage braid line from shore and aboard a 14ft v-hull. I've landed everything from 20 pound plus flat heads to 30" hybrid tiger muskies and everything in between with your line. And it has held up better than any of the other "big name" companies products. I purposely abused your line sending it through jagged rock, ruff bottom and trash slewed sections of water to see how much it can take. I've also purposely "tree'd" the line and pulled down a limb over 1.5 inches thick multiple times. Then tied up on the abraded section and proceeded to pull in a 12.10 pound channel without any issue. In fact, I used that setup the entire 6 hour trip. Again, it held up just fine, minor surface wear but line strength and integrity were not compromised.I also tested the lines ability to cast using a medium, 7 foot carbon/graphite spinning setup with 30/70 flex with the line on a 4000 size Penn Battle with a half ounce bank sinker. The section of river I was casting over is estimated as over 40 yards wide and I could cast 10-15 yards past the other side without any hesitation or extra effort. The line has a nice balance of stiffness and pliability so it can cast long distances due to its stiffness but is also outstanding at short, super accurate casts due to its pliability. These characteristics also helps greatly in tying knots.My next test was on water absorption. After a full six hours of fishing, I could not find any appreciable difference between your line or any of the competitions. Water absorption was nominal and had no negative effects on any characteristics.I am now in the final phase of testing which will take many more weeks. This test will be on overall durability. This line will be subject to huge temperature and environmental swings, different fishing techniques, knot strength over time, salt water resistance and general abuse.I hope to report back with an equally positive result.I also snorkeled in clear, brown, green, and just about every other shade of water available except blue water to gauge the effectiveness of the camo color scheme. The green camo line excels in colored water especially if it's in conjunction with vegetation. The camo also remains effective in clear water if vegetation is present.I hope my results have helped with gaining any further insight on the actual performance of your line in realistic fishing conditions.

I spooled all 1500yds of 120lb onto a Penn 12/0, I run 25ft of 300lb mono to 15ft of 700lb wire with a 20/0 circle hook. The first time I hooked up was on a nurse shark around 250-300 pounds at 8 1/2ft. The fight lasted about 20 minutes or so and the line held up excellent, the hook had stated to bend but didn't straighten all the way out. The next was about a half hour fight in the Florida Keys late in the evening, I thought I was about to get a PB and had never felt a fish fight like this. The tide was going out and we were close to an outlet and had dropped the bait about 500 yards out. When I first hooked up the drag started pulling out for a good run so I locked it down and started reeling in, after some struggle my drag started pulling out again, this went on a few times before a friend wanted to get it on camera while it was still out so they followed the line on the boat, a few minutes later I got a call that I had hooked a channel marker and I was fighting it and the current. Needless to say the line held up through all of this.

It's okay at best would not recommend this product we'll find other uses than fishing to use it up you get what you pay for. Updated, after being contacted by Chad at reaction tackle they replaced the line and the new stuff is working well I don't know if it was a bad spool or what the problem was but their customer service alone was worth giving them a second chance the new line is great and I will be using it thanks reaction tackle way to do business

this stuff is awesome. I have been using braid for over 20 years and until now it's always been spider wire. Not any more this stuff is a lot cheaper and very strong. I put it on 2 eight foot surf rods with Shimano 6500 open cast and quantum 7000 open cast reels. i could cast past the break at the beach without wading easily. i used the 30 pound test and am very pleased. I caught a 20 pound bonnet head shark and it held up beautifully. I will be buying this stuff from now on.

As i wrote before 30lb braid wasnt for my fishing needs but the company contacted and sent me a roll of heavier braid line which was 80lb test and was much happier with the strength of the line. But again they made it right just know 30lb braid may not be for me but maybe what your looking for again the 50lb-80lb is recommended for bigger fish in my opinion. This company seems to strive for happiness for the customers

5 stars so far. Item received before estimated delivery date even coming from the USA. Braid loaded on new reels, new rods ready and then LOCKDOWN happened so not had chance to use it yet. Braid is quite supple. Will see how it handles when on the bank.

spooled up my penn battle with it added a shock leader to stop the braid cutting finger smooth casting even lay on reel I would recommend this not the dearest braid on the market but ideal for a budget no problems with it 10/10.

Ok ,first time I have used braided line just can’t get a good knot tired on to my lures looked up on u tube quite a complex knot for braided line I keep trying and tying

Not used it yet, I intend to use it for hook link material. It's a fraction of the price of the "brands" and exactly the same stuff.

I tested the line with a digital scale. It broke mid line, not at the knot. The 80lb broke at average 40lb and the 30lb broke as low as 5lb !!!All braided line seems to be a lottery for actual strength but this was way off. I returned it.

It is exactly as described. Soft, low diameter with low water absorption. The ideal braid for boat fishing. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic braid I really can’t fault it so far used in both fresh and salt water, easy to tie knots with and pulled in afew pike, trout, pollack and bass so far

Used this twice and caught my first pike so I can only praise the product

Love the smooth casting with this line and it will help beginners to the angling fraternity

Good line

Good quality for the price already spooled onto new reel

This is now the second lot of braid I I’ve bought from these guys as it is absolutely fantastic for sea fishing Brilliant product

Used this for the unusual task of replacing the ASA linkage wire in an old Canon AE-1 SLR camera. Zero stretch and perfect diameter make this a viable replacement for the original tungsten wire. Worked a treat and the camera is back to full working order.

Low diameter ideal for carp fishing in weedy areas.Good choices of breaking strains and lengths.Good choice of colours.

Bought the 80lb braid for beachcasting with fixed spool reels, does the job perfectly. PB Conger first trip!
