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?

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.

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.

Cast great and no issues with wind knots/ memory or knots in general. I purchased 80lb braid for wife to use on Penn Rival. It works great and caught plenty of red snapper. Definitely recommend this line. I plan on buying more for my other rods.

First time using this line and it is good-comes off the reel very smoothly and gives long casts. So far no issues and have used for hours surfcasting-have caught many decent fighting fish and line is holding up well-very good value

this line is great for the price i did notice its a little louder through eyelets than more expensive brands. Break strength, casting,and tying knots have been great, just not as round as more expensive name brands, overall definitely worth the price ..500yds for 20$.

When I purchased this 50 lb line it was for my 12 ft surf pole, I was only planning on using it for 1 trip to the beach then purchasing a more popular band after my trip. I have to say after catching 3 black tip sharks and numerous other species well over 45 inches I am extremely impressed with this line.... I just ordered a second spool of it for my second pole. I highly recommend this line over the more popular brands.

It's tough as nails, while at the same time giving you extreme sensitivity. It digs into the reel just slightly on a hard hook set, but casts great, the knots don't slip, it's fairly quiet, and way stronger than expected!

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
