Berkley Forward Braid Braided Line 0.17mm 8.9kg 150m Crystal

Berkley Forward Braid 0.17mm 8.9kg 150m Crystal — Cast farther, feel more

The Berkley Forward Braid in 0.17mm Crystal combines precision engineering with smooth performance. Its unique finesse construction and smooth coating deliver exceptional casting distance and accuracy, while the smaller diameter offers faster sink rates to get your lure into the strike zone quickly.

Maximum casting distance and accuracy

The proprietary finesse braid construction paired with a smooth coating reduces friction through the guides, enabling longer, more precise casts. Whether you're targeting structure at distance or working tight spots, this line puts your lure exactly where you need it.

Enhanced sensitivity for better bite detection

The unique construction amplifies even the slightest vibrations, giving you direct contact with your lure and the bottom. You'll detect subtle taps and light bites that other lines miss, so you can react faster and hook more fish.
