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?

So I needed to spool up one of my inshore rods for an upcoming trip. Was looking on Amazon for my normal brand and stumbled across this. After reading the reviews I figured I would order a spool (15 pound moss green) and give it a chance. I slapped it on a pole and went to the lake to try it out. Well it preformed just as well as my normal brand (there name starts with a P and costs twice as much). This stuff ran flawlessly. Reaction is now on 10+ of my rods ranging from 4 pound ultralight setups up to 65 pound grouper set ups. And will be switching all of my reels over to it as needed. I am a trout guide in the Southern Appalachian's and truly wish they had fly line as I would give it a try without hesitation. If your on the fence about this company do it. You won't look back. Customer service is also amazing.

Spooled up the 20lb test on my spinning reels for finesse plastics and smaller swimbaits. Can cast it a country mile, and am now able to reach the fountains in the middle of the pond/lakes in my community.I am happy to report that, upon snagging the fountains on multiple occasions, I had to put a shirt over my hand, wrap the braid a couple times around my hand, and pull very hard to break the mono leader to get free. I have done this several times and the braid has never broke on me. This stuff is plenty strong! If anyone is wondering, I use a crazy alberto for the braid/leader knot, and an improved clinch or double-pitzen at the hook end.I have the green and yellow spooled up. I've fished with it several times and haven't really noticed any fading yet. Then again, I don't care because I use leaders.

I’ve tried many brands of braided line over the years and I’m no fan of any of them I just don’t like braid line . That said I do use it mostly on saltwater gear due to how much you can get on the reel compared to mono .. This Reaction brand braid is pretty nice stuff .. The color doesn’t bleed out like the cheaper ones due .. also I got the one that has a different color every 10 meters .. Haven’t caught a fish on it yet cus I haven’t been out chasing the tuna yet .. Im sure it will work great .. They’re a Good company that cares about bringing good quality products to the market at a fair price .. can’t ask for more than that .. Give it a try I’ll bet you like it ..

I just received the Reaction braided line (50 lb test) and have fisted it along side a leading brand name line and I can't tell any difference between the two. I can say that the leading brand will color fade over time, so I can't speak on the performance of the line long term but so far it will be my goto brand from here on out.Highly recommend

The line was stronger as the same size monofilament. I fish the bottom and get snagged often. With the braided filament I was able to recover most snags. I did notice that for me my casts were not as long using the same setup but I am pleased with the line. I like the hi-vis and was worried that it would effect the fishing but I have not noticed any change in the action. I'm tempted to try this for my leader line just to see what happens.

This line is absolutely amazing I have been using it for about 2 months now and it has held up great. I even lended it to a buddy of mine and he loved it too. Im already buying a second thing of line because it is just so good for what you pay for. A little bit of color loss from sun exposure but still it’s not terrible looking. 10/10 line and I would definitely recommend it to you if you are looking for some cheap line that can hold up to huge fish.

My old braided line had a problem with coming unraveled {major braid name). I used my name brand line for years until the company sold and changed the process I guess, something changed. I was experiencing a lot problems with other brands too not lasting. This line has been awesome, it stays round casts great very strong. I will re spool the rest of my reels with this brand.

Although I have not used this line yet, it seems of good quality and consistency and off the spool as strong as advertised, hopefully actual performance will be equal. Only complaint at this point would be the two week delivery window. Really? I could have walked there and picked it up in less time. Perhaps they might closely look at there delivery operators.

good line you can see exactly where it goes in the water so you can tell if a fish is sneaking off with your bait obviously you'll have to use a mono or flouro leader strung up 2 rods with 300 yards .... caught the same bass 2 times in a row the first time out great for kids getting into it cause they can see what there doing easier .... buy one.

Quick delivery. Was concerned if I rec'd the right amount of line as the spool shown was quite a bit larger than what I rec'd. Excellent response when I made contact. They confirmed that I was sent the 500 yards as ordered as well are now going to change the pictures used.
