Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater - Colored Diamond Braid for Extra Visibility

UPDATE: The day the below review (which originally had 2 stars) went live, Reaction Tackle sent me a mssg, to which I responded, and the very next day refunded me for the 15# line that I had bought. Wow!! (And, today I loaded up the 25# version of this line that I had purchased and I think it's gonna do the trick...and if it does, I'll give this a full 5 stars because I love everything else about this line - especially now the stunningly good customer service.)======Summary (for the 15# line): Color is terrific for murky waters like ponds and lakes!! Easy to see against that. And it casts like a dream - freely, far, and true. However...I'm admittedly no fishing expert, but I've never had line break like this. I bought this to replace the awful, twisty mono that came on my new reel, and was delighted with how it handled versus that swirly junk, but I don't think this 15# line is good for much. First caught a feisty, fighting 4+ pound catfish but line snapped once I finally got him near the dock. Re-rigged, recast and caught a ~1# bass and yet again the line broke.TL;DR: After decades of always borrowing brother's and uncles' rigs, finally purchased my own during a recent vaca on the lovely SC coast. Learned quickly that the cheap nylon junk that came pre-loaded was too frustrating to manage. So when I got home, I did a bunch of research and decided braid was the way to go. On Amazon, found this as a top seller. Figured I'd never need more than 15# for the random, casual fishing I would do, so ordered this. (Unfortunately I also ordered an extra, larger reel of it bc I was concerned I wouldnt have enough when I got this first smallest reel and saw how slender it was, so now I'm stuck with that bc it is just outside the return window.)Didn't have opportunity to use it until this past weekend, when I was enthralled with how much nicer it was to cast, and how responsive it was. You truly can feel every little nibble.But then I caught a fish...a very feisty, fat, fighting fish. I fought with it for a good 3 or 4 minutes but finally got it near the dock where we could see it was a sizable catfish, around 4 or 5 pounds. My companion reached for the line, and it snapped, just a few inches from the fish.Ok.So I cut off a couple feet of the line, and started over with fresh rigging. Within minutes, had another fish that I pulled in. When it got close enough to the dock, we could see it was a smallish bass, maybe 1# if that. Tried to pull it up and again the line snapped in two.So I don't know what this 15# line could possibly be good for. Minnows?

We literally buy thousands of yards of the Reaction Tackle 8 strand braid every year. This is the best value in braided fishing lines available when strength and cost are both to be considered. Most typically we use the 50lb blue camo but we have used everything from 20lb - 100lb. All weights have performed better than expected and have never left us regretting our choice of mainline.

I know you have to select how many yards you want but the picture should reflect what size you are getting. It seems a little misleading, so it makes me question the product. Please update your pictures accordingly.

I have this braid on my Lews baitcaster. It casts beautifully and super smooth. I have only gone pier fishing a handful of times in the Potomac. So far so good. Loving the visibility too. Appreciated when I did get hung up once that I only lost the leader but kept my sinker lol.

Seems like a good enough line so far. There are a couple issues, though. First, there's a coating on the line that wore off when filling the reel and built up on the guide. Second, it's not 1000 yards. According to my digital line counter, the spool ran out at 953 yards. Time will tell if I have to edit the review to drop any more stars.

Used this to spool up my saltwater reel and it performed really well. This is my go to brand now for fishing line. Way cheaper than other brands and it performs really well

Looks like it is a good quality braid but it is made in china. It took forever to get to my house but I don’t have prime. Going to test it out on some king salmon next weekend

It was exactly what I wanted and was shown in the description. This is my second time ordering from Reaction Tackle and I have nothing but praise for them. They get your order to you quickly and both times have actually been earlier then the date Amazon specified. I also like that they're a USA based company this means you're getting a quality product and supporting Americans as a veteran this is very important to me.

Perfecto

La linea se reviente mucho antes de llegar al libraje indicado. Lo barato sale caro.

me decepcionó el producto es muy pequeño y no se observa como en la foto.

Muy buena calidad.

La línea es de buena calidad, no se rompe, es bastante resistente, para caña de 6 pies
