Berkley Sick Braid 0.29mm 26.4kg 150m Flame Green

Berkley Sick Braid 0.29mm 26.4kg — Ultra-smooth PE braid for long casts and instant bites

The Berkley Sick Braid in 0.29mm / 26.4kg is an 8-strand PE braid (PE = polyethylene) built for predator anglers who need maximum casting distance and direct contact with every take. Its nano coating delivers a smooth, abrasion-resistant surface that shoots through the guides and stands up to pike teeth, sharp gill plates and snaggy structure.

Zero-stretch construction for immediate bite detection

With 0% stretch, the Sick Braid 0.29mm transmits every tap, thump and head shake straight to your rod tip. You feel the lure working over weed beds, detect cautious perch bites at range and set hooks instantly—even at long distances where monofilament would absorb the strike.

Nano-coated surface for long casts and high abrasion resistance

The microcrystalline polymer coating creates an exceptionally smooth finish that reduces friction in the rod guides. Your casts fly further with less effort, and the coating protects the fibres against rocks, gravel and mussel beds. Superior knot strength keeps your rig secure through countless casts and hard-fighting fish.
