Master Braid is constructed in a way that makes it rounder, which means less twist, greater accuracy, longer casts and extended life. A proprietary Cortland process bonds the color and finish into the fibers of the braid eliminating fading or flaking of the color and stiffening agent. With only 4% stretch, small diameter pound/test ratio and a unique hydrophobic coating that slices through the water and comes back dry, this new Master Braid delivers greatly enhanced fishing qualities and performance. Master Braid is very easy to use and works equally well on both spinning and conventional reels.
