Berkley Sick Braid Braided Line 0.19mm 18kg 150m White

Berkley Sick Braid — Nano-Coated PE Braid for Direct-Contact Predator Fishing

The Berkley Sick Braid is an 8-carrier PE (polyethylene) braid built for anglers who demand immediate bite detection and reliable knot performance when targeting freshwater predators. The 0.19 mm / 18 kg variant in White sits in the mid-range of the Sick Braid lineup — fine enough for versatile lure work, strong enough for pike, zander, perch, and trout.

Zero Stretch for Instant Sensitivity

With 0% stretch, every tap, nudge, and run transmits straight to your fingertips. In deep water or at long range — exactly where zander and pike test your attention — you feel what is happening at the lure rather than guessing through a cushioned signal. That direct connection also means a sharper, more decisive strike.

Nano Microcrystalline Polymer Coating for Durability and Distance

The 8-carrier weave is treated with a nano microcrystalline polymer coating that hardens the braid's surface without stiffening it. The result is high abrasion resistance against gravel, rocks, and weed edges, combined with exceptional smoothness through the rings. Smooth line means less friction at the guides, which translates to longer casts — useful whenever you need to cover water quickly with spinners, jigs, or soft-plastic rigs.
