Berkley Forward Braid Braided Line 0.17mm 8.9kg 150m Flame Green

Berkley Forward Braid — Cast farther, feel more

The Berkley Forward Braid in 0.17mm / 8.9kg / 150m / Flame Green delivers exceptional casting distance and bite detection thanks to its proprietary finesse construction and smooth coating. Whether you're finesse fishing or chasing predators, this line combines slim diameter with impressive strength.

Precision casting and higher sensitivity

The unique finesse-braided construction with smooth coating reduces friction through the guides, allowing longer, more accurate casts. The proprietary design enhances sensitivity, so you'll feel even subtle takes and bottom contact. Ideal for techniques where direct feedback matters—from drop-shotting to jigging.

Faster sink rates for better lure control

At just 0.17mm diameter with 8.9kg breaking strain, Forward Braid sinks faster than thicker lines, helping your lures reach the target depth quickly. This makes it perfect for vertical presentations, deep-water fishing, and situations where you need to cut through current or wind.
