Berkley Whiplash 8 Braided Line 150m 0.12mm 17.5kg Crystal

Berkley Whiplash 8 — legendary braiding strength

The Berkley Whiplash 8 in Crystal is a perfectly round 8-carrier superline built from 100% PE fiber. Whether you target big predators or finicky species, this 0.12 mm / 17.5 kg spool delivers the strength and smoothness that made Whiplash a go-to choice for anglers worldwide.

Extreme fighting power

The 8-carrier construction combines exceptional breaking strength with a compact diameter. At 0.12 mm this Crystal variant offers 17.5 kg of pulling power, giving you the backbone to land trophy fish on lighter tackle while maintaining precise lure control and bite detection.

Smooth casting and durability

The perfectly round profile glides through guides with minimal friction, enabling longer casts and reducing wind knots. PE fiber withstands repeated abrasion from structure, teeth, and rod rings, so the line performs reliably session after session in both fresh and saltwater environments.
