Top 10 Braided Line Manufacturers
TOP 10 best manufacturers of braided lines
10 Cormoran
Country: Poland
Rating (2022): 4.6
Cormoran is a solid brand of fishing tackle that has received, perhaps, the smallest portion of popularity of all opponents in the rating. And, according to consumers, not entirely justified. Albeit a few, but very high-quality lines of braided lines look on the water no worse than conventional Sufix and Sunline.
When it comes to feeder braid, the Cormoran Corastrong Feeder Braid line will always be a great option. The model range of this line is distinguished by high tensile strength, is resistant to abrasion (on stones, shell rock and the sides of the rings), and also holds knots well. The Corastrong 8-Braid bottom eight-core cord is no less cool in the same path. Sweeping all the above advantages, it gives a significant increase only in load capacity, showing itself excellently when fishing for large carp.
9 Varivas
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.7
Another Japanese giant for the production of braided line, using the production facilities of the large international corporation Morris as a base. In terms of novelty, Varivas does not bring anything to the segment, however, the braids of this brand are of consistently high quality and high wear resistance.
A good example of fishing lines from Varivas is the Ajing Master DC-PE series, designed for casting at sea. It has extremely low elongation and average sensitivity, however, it is able to withstand colossal overloads when biting a huge fish (there have been cases of forceful breakage of rods without tearing this braid). The direct opposite of it is the super-thin Area Super Trout Master, designed for ultra-light fishing for small items on spinning. It is moderately strong, very sensitive and has high durability.
8 Sunline
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.7
One of the most inexpensive brands, whose products are extremely popular among domestic fishermen. All Sunline braids in one way or another combine high quality with high breaking strength, which allows them to be used for catching especially large trophy predators.
In the global market conditions, Sunline braids are known as a solid "fighter" in the marine environment. For example, the X-Cast line is capable of handling loads from 5 to 40 kilograms, demonstrating outstanding Japanese quality in all its glory. But, perhaps, the Monster Battle PE series is rightfully recognized as the most important "fighter" of the series. The name of this braid already sounds threatening, and the power characteristics only emphasize the superiority over opponents. Due to the small price tags, Sunline is willingly swept away from store shelves, and the manufacturers themselves note a significant increase in popularity from year to year.
7 Allvega
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.8
This company appeared on the Russian market later than all the others (in 2010), having received tremendous support from professional athletes and competent experts from our country. It was impossible to come up with a better PR: Allvega braided fishing line began to be snapped up very quickly by amateurs.
The main characteristic of the braid of this company, according to reviews, lies in a long service life. Thanks to the patented impregnation technology and its unique composition, even despite the presence of roughness, absolutely all series of cords retain their nominal properties. This also applies to the extremely popular Bullit Braid range, which can be used even at low temperatures while retaining its original strength and feel.
No less powerful, but more secondary, the Allvega Evergreen series looks, the whole feature of which lies in the extreme durability of the primary color. It is designed specifically for feeder and deep sea spinning fishing, allowing precise control in all phases of fishing.
6 Berkeley
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.8
The only niche where the American company Berkley was able to fully realize itself was the production of braided lines of high nominal quality and durability. As in the case of opponents, they are based on Dyneema material - a high-strength wear-resistant high-sensitivity fiber that gives the fishing line good information content.
Among the entire range of braids from Berkley, the consumer can find an option for any occasion. So, the Black Velvet line has the properties of long casting due to the sliding silicone coating.The cord easily overcomes the rings, having a low drag coefficient. The complete opposite of it is the Whiplash Crystal series, which is used only in warm seasons. It has no external coating, giving high strength combined with pristine elasticity. It is very good to use when fishing on a feeder, but it behaves no less cool when jigging and twitching on a spinning rod.
5 Power Phantom
Country: Germany
Rating (2022): 4.8
A German manufacturer of premium braided cords, ranked for its focus on maximizing breaking load parameters. And these are not empty words: Power Phantom is acquired by most domestic anglers when catching trophy fish. Without changing the use of the usual Dyneema SK65 fibers, the company squeezes out the maximum potential, directing it in the right direction.
So, the most prominent representatives of the company were the Spyder PE, Raptor PE (especially strong) and Synapse PE (showing miracles of sensory) series. Each of them is soft, allows you to knit strong knots, as well as to endure excessive loads for a short time. The only nuance that can keep the user from buying is the high cost. However, due to the durability, the purchase will turn out to be very profitable.
4 Salmo
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.9
The world famous supplier of fishing products in the face of Salmo is rightfully considered one of the strongest manufacturers of braided lines. Having obtained the rights to use Dyneema SK65, Spectra and Gore-Tech polymer fibers, they have managed to create a diverse collection of lines to suit absolutely any fishing conditions.
One of the brightest examples of the use of Dyneema threads was the Elite Braid series. Using the properties of the material correctly, Salmo has recreated an example of a braid that combines high strength with excellent glide, wear resistance (from UV rays and rough surfaces), and good lure feel. A slightly different set of characteristics has a Feeder series, designed specifically for a feeder at decent depth horizons. It is bright, which makes it easier to control on the water, sensitive (despite the large cross section) and treated with a special impregnation that gives it sinking properties.
3 Duel/Yo-Zuri
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.9
The leading Japanese manufacturer of fishing products, whose products are traditionally of high Japanese quality and practically the lowest price in the entire segment. According to the canons of consumer opinion, the combination of these advantages is what causes a wave of huge popularity of Yo-Zuri/Duel braided lines.
As a manufacturing material, this company most often uses Ultra PE polymer fibers, which have good performance. Thus, the Super X-Wire PE series braid (made from the above-mentioned threads) is widely used in conditions of negative temperatures (detrimental to most lines) and, thanks to the wear-resistant coating, feels great in snags and on a rocky bottom. Another representative of the company, Hardcore X4 PE, has a perfectly smooth section, which is why it is often used for long-distance casting in order to catch holes and dumps in search of a large hidden predator.
2 Sufix
Country: Finland (produced in Japan, Taiwan)
Rating (2022): 4.9
Behind the eminent trademark Sufix hides the equally well-known company Rapala, familiar to anglers from a series of excellent wobblers and baubles for any fishing conditions. However, braided fishing lines are also in no way inferior to their “brothers in the segment” in quality. Their main advantage, judging by the feedback from consumers, is the highest reliability, which indicates advanced production conditions and the conscientiousness of the Finnish company.
Sufix braid uses Gore and Dyneema fibers as the main production material, the excellent characteristics of which are high wear resistance and sensitivity, respectively. Some of the most famous products of the brand are fishing lines of the Matrix Pro series (powerful, for catching mainly large predators) and 832 Braid (premium braid with enormous breaking load and high sensitivity).
1 PowerPro
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.9
An eminent American manufacturer using special fibers of the Spectra Fiber brand as a material for creating a braid. Thin and at the same time strong, these threads are capable of withstanding up to 40-50 kilograms of load, being in a plexus of 8 pieces (typically up to 0.43 mm variation of the Moss Green braid).
Braided with the company's unique Enhanced Body technology, Power Pro cords offer superior smoothness and wear resistance that goes with it. They perfectly come off the spool of the spinning reel, provoking the longest casts and excellent responsiveness at all stages of fishing.
As another unique option, the Hunter Multicolor series can be distinguished, designed for fishing at a decent depth.These braids are distinguished by a wide variety of colors, which greatly simplifies the control of the bait at depth. The purchase price of such options varies greatly depending on the thickness of the section and the length of the unwind. However, this is typical for all Power Pro fishing products.
