Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line 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?

Spooled up the 20lb test on my spinning reels for finesse plastics and smaller swimbaits. Can cast it a country mile, and am now able to reach the fountains in the middle of the pond/lakes in my community.I am happy to report that, upon snagging the fountains on multiple occasions, I had to put a shirt over my hand, wrap the braid a couple times around my hand, and pull very hard to break the mono leader to get free. I have done this several times and the braid has never broke on me. This stuff is plenty strong! If anyone is wondering, I use a crazy alberto for the braid/leader knot, and an improved clinch or double-pitzen at the hook end.I have the green and yellow spooled up. I've fished with it several times and haven't really noticed any fading yet. Then again, I don't care because I use leaders.

I’ve tried many brands of braided line over the years and I’m no fan of any of them I just don’t like braid line . That said I do use it mostly on saltwater gear due to how much you can get on the reel compared to mono .. This Reaction brand braid is pretty nice stuff .. The color doesn’t bleed out like the cheaper ones due .. also I got the one that has a different color every 10 meters .. Haven’t caught a fish on it yet cus I haven’t been out chasing the tuna yet .. Im sure it will work great .. They’re a Good company that cares about bringing good quality products to the market at a fair price .. can’t ask for more than that .. Give it a try I’ll bet you like it ..

I was not sure about ordering this line as I didn't know anyone who used it. I figured I would give it a shot, love the camo blue yellow colors. I've gone out 4 times fishing and when I do, it is at least 8 hours of casting and catching. casting has excellent distance with minimal curls and no fouling because of wind etc. Yesterday I casted close to a dam, but the lure went over the dam and was stuck out of sight. I knew the lure was lost but I tried pulling it out for at least 10 minutes, and had to cut the line. I have to say this line is unbelievably strong and after rerigging it , I was fishing as usual! I'm sold on this product!

I only started fishing this year in February, and just started using braided line, so this is my first time. But the value is great, for the yards vs cost. It looks great, doesn’t have that powder coating or whatever that another brand I tried does and got all over myreel, so that’s a plus! Haven’t caught a fish yet, but I love the sensitivity of this braided line! Also, I fish very rocky areas, I do use a fluorocarbon leader, so can’t attest to durability in the part. Will buy more for the rest of my gear!

First time switching to braided over mono and it is super nice. Has a different feel to it but I definitely like it more, it might take some getting used to as it casts differently but it’s worth for the strength in size. I would recommend looking up a line size comparison in LBs to see which would be the best go to. It seems that braided is a lot smaller but more sturdy. Only bad thing is that it’ll tangle if you throw it out to hard but sometimes you can get it loose pretty quick.

Seems like a larger diameter than other 20# test braid that I have. Very stiff and very noisy though the rod eyes. After I submitted the first review 1 star, reaction tackle reached out to me, asking what they could do to make me satisfied. We agreed on them sending me the 4 strand line. They did this and am very pleased with the customer service. I will not hesitate to purchase from them.

This is my first time using braided line and it's good to go. ease to bait up so no more trying to tie hooks or lures for what feels like wasted time. There is one thing I don't like, little fuzz balls form on the line and are very annoying on a bait caster when you reel it in and feel it on you fingers.

very strong line

Although I have not used this line yet, it seems of good quality and consistency and off the spool as strong as advertised, hopefully actual performance will be equal. Only complaint at this point would be the two week delivery window. Really? I could have walked there and picked it up in less time. Perhaps they might closely look at there delivery operators.

good line you can see exactly where it goes in the water so you can tell if a fish is sneaking off with your bait obviously you'll have to use a mono or flouro leader strung up 2 rods with 300 yards .... caught the same bass 2 times in a row the first time out great for kids getting into it cause they can see what there doing easier .... buy one.

Quick delivery. Was concerned if I rec'd the right amount of line as the spool shown was quite a bit larger than what I rec'd. Excellent response when I made contact. They confirmed that I was sent the 500 yards as ordered as well are now going to change the pictures used.
