Choose your W3 8-Braid strength based on target species and location. Use 0.08–0.10 mm (3–3.5 kg) for small sea trout and light saltwater conditions. Use 0.128–0.148 mm (5–6.1 kg) for general sea trout and bass. Use 0.165–0.205 mm (7.9–10.1 kg) for larger predators and rough sea conditions. All diameters maintain the same profile and handling characteristics.
The Double Dura-Coating technology creates a rigid, hydrophobic surface that reduces water absorption and friction. This delivers extra stiffness to prevent wind knots during long casting sessions in onshore winds, while the smooth finish enables longer, more accurate casts and improved drag-free presentation.
Yes. While engineered for sea trout and saltwater applications, the W3 8-Braid performs excellently for freshwater pike, bass, and predatory fish. The abrasion resistance and low-stretch characteristics make it ideal for rocky or snaggy venues, and the premium UHMPE fibers deliver superior strength in all water types.
The 0.08 mm variant combines the thinnest diameter with 3 kg breaking strength, offering maximum casting distance and water penetration for light sea trout fishing. Thicker variants (0.128–0.205 mm) sacrifice some distance for greater holding power and durability in demanding conditions. All maintain the same construction quality and Double Dura-Coating performance.
Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene (UHMPE) fibers deliver exceptional strength-to-diameter ratio, allowing thin lines to achieve high breaking strength without bulk. Japanese UHMPE in W3 8-Braid provides superior abrasion resistance, lower water absorption, and improved color retention compared to standard PE alternatives.

The W3 Smokey Grey Braided line has been developed for sea trout and saltwater anglers seeking excellent braided line performance. Our innovative construction produces a line that combines maximum strength and abrasion resistance with a super-smooth surface. Constructed from premium Japanese Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene (UHMPE) fibers using an 8X design.
W3 Smokey Grey Braid uses a construction with 32 weaves per inch for a smoother surface and increased abrasion resistance. The line features a round profile for better performance and penetration through the water column.
Sea trout and saltwater anglers demand a line with extra stiffness to avoid wind knots caused by casting repeatedly into fierce onshore winds. The W3 Smokey Grey features a Double Dura-Coating technology to give the line more rigidity. The Dura-Coating gel process creates a smoother, hydrophobic surface that reduces water absorption and lowers friction. This ensures a rigid and stiff line with excellent water repellence for longer, more accurate casting.
To achieve maximum color stability, W3 Smokey Grey is soaked in dye tanks before being oven cured to bake in the pigment and finally sealed by a double gel-coat for improved longevity. Premium Japanese UHMPE fibers provide excellent strength-to-diameter ratio.
