Berkley Sick Braid 0.29mm 26.4kg 150m Red

Berkley Sick Braid 0.29 mm — maximum sensitivity for trophy predators

The Berkley Sick Braid 0.29 mm Red delivers direct contact to your lure in the toughest conditions. This 8-strand PE (polyethylene) braid combines zero stretch with superior knot strength, making it a dependable choice for pike, zander, perch, and trout.

Zero stretch for instant bite detection

The Sick Braid's zero-stretch construction transmits every tap and bump straight to your rod tip. You feel structure, vegetation, and predator strikes instantly—critical when fishing deep water, heavy cover, or at long range where monofilament would mask subtle takes.

Nano coating for abrasion resistance and casting distance

Berkley's Nano coating with microcrystalline polymer creates an exceptionally smooth, abrasion-resistant surface. The line glides through guides with minimal friction, adding metres to your casts while standing up to rocks, mussel beds, and pike teeth. UV-resistant fibres maintain strength and colour over many seasons.
