FS8 offers optimal strength for the diameter thanks to the tightly woven strands. FS8 is an ideal choice for lure fishing due to its non-stretch properties, ensuring maximum feedback from the rod to the lure and optimum hooking potential. FS8 is designed for fishing in areas where snags are common and the line comes into contact with hard surfaces. The line is a little stiffer than other 8 braids on the market, but incredibly strong and durable.
