Berkley Sick Braid Braided Line 0.14mm 16.5kg 150m Black

Berkley Sick Braid — Zero-Stretch Sensitivity for Predator Fishing

The Berkley Sick Braid is an 8-strand PE (polyethylene) braid built for anglers who demand direct contact with their lure and instant bite detection in freshwater predator fishing.

Nano Coating for Abrasion Resistance and Casting Distance

The Sick Braid is treated with a nano microcrystalline polymer coating that hardens the outer surface without stiffening the braid. This gives you outstanding abrasion resistance when fishing around structure, weed edges, or gravel beds — while the extreme smoothness of the weave lets the line shoot off the spool with minimal friction for longer casts.

Rock-Solid Knots, Zero Stretch

With zero stretch across the full spool, every tap, nudge, and run transmits directly to your rod tip — critical when targeting pike, zander, perch, or trout with soft plastics, jigs, or spinners. The tight 8-strand construction also locks knots firmly in place, so you can trust your connection under pressure without needing to double-check after every fish.

Choose the Right Variant
