WESTERN FILAMENT TUF-LINE SUPERCAST BRAID - The Fisherman

WESTERN FILAMENT TUF-LINE SUPERCAST BRAID

Utilizing a revolutionary post-process coating that adds lubricity, SuperCast will change the way you think about braided line. The coating allows the line to have superior castability and distance compared to monofilament, fluorocarbon, or standard braided lines. The added lubricity allows knots to cinch down tighter for higher strength and security. Traditional braided lines create a noisy tell-tale sound as the line moves through the rod guides. For freshwater fans, in situations where your line is draped over a log or timber, this sound can spook nearby fish. SuperCast with its smooth outer coating quietly glides through the rod guides, allowing for longer distance and effortless casting. So now when you find yourself trying to punch through thick brush, weeds and vegetation, SuperCast will give you that stealthy approach.

SuperCast eliminates some of the common problems associated with spinning reels when using braided lines, typically poor bail performance, tip wraps and those dreaded wind knots. If you have been hesitant to try a super-braid on any of your spinning reels, your ship has finally arrived: SuperCast is the perfect choice. For casting reel applications, the ultra-round construction of SuperCast virtually eliminates the line’s ability to dig into itself and will give you trouble-free handling all day long. So whether you are using a baitcasting or spinning reel, you will find this to be one of the quietest and easiest to manage superlines designed to date.

Manufactured from Spectra fiber with a unique bi-component process, SuperCast incorporates an exclusive “inside out” coating that ensures a perfectly round, smooth and highly abrasion resistant superline that does not break down or lose its rigidity with prolonged use. Unlike many competitive braided lines, the coating process of SuperCast ensures permanent coloration of the line so the color won’t fade, flake, or bleed. SuperCast delivers a significant advancement in superlines by producing a line that has the smoothness and handling of monofilament combined with the toughness of braid. Designed for both fresh and saltwater use, SuperCast is proudly made in the USA. It is available in 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, and 30-pound-tests in 100, 125, 300 and 2,500-yard spools, with your color choice of either green or hi-vis yellow.

I am a big fan of the hi-vis yellow shade. As a charter boat captain and saltwater fishing guide, I can easily follow the frenetic antics of a large gamefish with this “lemon yellow” color by maneuvering the boat to help my angler regain line, while also preventing the fish from running under the keel and breaking off. Using a 10- to 25-yard camo or fluorocarbon top-shot or wind-on leader keeps the hi-vis line far enough away from the hook end to fool wary fish, so it’s the best of all possibilities – hi-vis where I can see it combined with no-vis where the fish can’t see it.

TIPS AND TRICKS
I have been using TUF-Line XP almost exclusively on all of my saltwater jigging and trolling outfits and the new SuperCast seems like just the ticket for my half-dozen Penn 975 baitcasters. Unlike monofilament, TUF-Line has very limited stretch, a hard exterior and very little memory. Wind the line on tightly and under steady pressure. Packing the reel well will eliminate any opportunity for the line to dig into the spool. If done properly the first time, you’ll experience years of trouble-free use. TUF-Line does not break down in sunlight like monofilament, however it is susceptible to nicks and abrasion. After continued use, watch for wear or fraying close to terminal gear. Remove a short length of the worn line and retie if necessary. All TUF-Lines have considerably less stretch than monofilament lines. Therefore, a monster hook-set is not necessary. Be firm and controlled. TUF-Line hits nearly as hard at 100 feet as it does at only ten feet down.

The MSRP of a 100-yard spool of SuperCast is $14.99, with the 125-yard at $17.99 and the 300-yard spool at $34.99. Roaming the internet for street pricing, each one of these can usually be purchased for a few bucks less than the MSRP. The superbraid ship has already sailed, revolutionizing the way we fish both inshore and offshore. If you were waiting for the right moment to book your trip on the superbraid ship, that moment is right now. The new TUF-Line SuperCast will definitely improve your game.
