Berkley x5 Braid 0.25mm 27kg 150m Flame Green

Berkley x5 Braid 0.25mm 27kg 150m Flame Green — cut through heavy cover with confidence

The Berkley x5 Braid takes conventional braided line to the next level. While most anglers trust 4-strand braids, Berkley adds a fifth PE strand for extra strength and durability, making this 0.25mm line ideal for fishing in thick vegetation and demanding conditions.

Optimised strength and abrasion resistance

Constructed from 100% PE fibres with a 5-carrier weave, the x5 Braid delivers exceptional breaking strain (27kg) relative to its 0.25mm diameter. The additional fifth strand significantly improves abrasion resistance, so you can fish confidently around structure, snags, and rough underwater obstacles without worrying about line failure.

Built for heavy cover and vegetation

The Flame Green colour and robust construction make the x5 Braid particularly effective when targeting predators in weedy environments. Whether you're fishing for pike in dense weed beds or bass in heavy lily pads, this line cuts through vegetation reliably and maintains its strength even after repeated contact with sharp stems and leaves.
