Smooth casting and great sensitivity
Despite the heavy test weight, this PE line casts surprisingly smooth. I can feel even the slightest nibble through the rod. Quality is exactly what you expect from Varivas.

Great product, check your reel capacity
The line itself is fantastic. Just a heads up that 300m of size 12 takes up a lot of space. Make sure your reel can handle the volume before buying. Otherwise, performance is flawless.

Top tier quality but pricey
This is genuine Japanese import quality. The weave is tight and there is no fraying after multiple trips. Only giving 4 stars because shipping took a while and the price is higher than domestic brands.

Reliable for trolling
Been trolling with this for three months now. No signs of wear or fading on the color indicators. The knot strength is impressive; I haven't lost a fish due to line failure yet.

Best line for big game fishing
Switched from a competitor brand to this Varivas line and the difference is night and day. It cuts through the water efficiently and has excellent abrasion resistance against coral reefs.

Incredible strength for deep water
Used this line for offshore jigging off the coast of Florida. The 160lb test held up perfectly against large amberjack and grouper. The depth markings are very accurate and help when targeting specific zones.
Q: Is this line suitable for freshwater pike fishing?
A: While technically possible, this line is designed primarily for saltwater big game fishing. The 160lb breaking strength is likely overkill for most freshwater applications unless targeting extremely large muskies.
Q: Is this line made in Japan or just packaged there?
A: This is a genuine Varivas product manufactured in Japan, known for their high-quality control standards in braided PE lines.
Q: What is the actual diameter in millimeters?
A: For Size #12, the approximate diameter is 0.68mm. Please note that slight variations can occur depending on manufacturing batches.
Q: Does the color change every 10 meters?
A: Yes, the multi-color pattern typically changes every 10 meters to help you track the depth of your lure accurately while jigging.
Q: Can I use standard mono leaders with this braid?
A: Yes, this braided line works well with fluorocarbon or monofilament leaders. We recommend using a strong knot like the FG Knot or PR Bobbin Knot for the best connection.
