Reaction TackleBraided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility

I've tried several brand and models of said brands over the years and they all seem to have 1 thing in common , a pain in the tushy to work with when tieing knots , getting birds nests out ( if you snag a tree branch on the way forward in your cast with a baitcaster you'll know what I mean ) , a waxy feel that's hard to grip , and just seeing with old eyes .I got black because it's hardest for the fish to see in dirty water or after sunset (first time using black was with Hammer 30lb so I'm familiar with how it looks in the water already) and it was not that hard to work with when I loaded up my brand new out of the box Sharky3 baitcaster reel . I plan on using it for lighter lures so I wanted a thinner line and a whole lot on the smaller spool that the reel came with . 30 pound was perfect as I wanted same diameter as 8lb mono . I got over 80 yards of it on the reel ( I intentionally left it about 10 yards shy of being full ) and getting things started , knotted , and filled was as easy as working with 6lb mono but no line memory to contend with .Time will tell how well this stuff holds up against rocks and trees but so far I like it , so much so I already ordered another roll to switch my Ultralite spinner combos over from 4lb mono to 15lb braid , again in black .

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?

So I needed to spool up one of my inshore rods for an upcoming trip. Was looking on Amazon for my normal brand and stumbled across this. After reading the reviews I figured I would order a spool (15 pound moss green) and give it a chance. I slapped it on a pole and went to the lake to try it out. Well it preformed just as well as my normal brand (there name starts with a P and costs twice as much). This stuff ran flawlessly. Reaction is now on 10+ of my rods ranging from 4 pound ultralight setups up to 65 pound grouper set ups. And will be switching all of my reels over to it as needed. I am a trout guide in the Southern Appalachian's and truly wish they had fly line as I would give it a try without hesitation. If your on the fence about this company do it. You won't look back. Customer service is also amazing.

I have bought this brand of braid several times and haven’t had many issues with it. But this most recent purchase of 1500 yards had a visible damaged spot in the line which was noticed while spooling it onto an Avet a little over half way into the spool.Update: Although I received a damaged Spool, customer service was great and made up for the issue. I can highly recommend this product knowing you will receive a quality product and in the event you have issues the company will take care of you.

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 ..

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.
