Berkley Sick Braid 0.14mm 16.5kg 150m Flame Green

Berkley Sick Braid — Zero-Stretch PE Braid Built for Freshwater Predators

The Berkley Sick Braid is an 8-strand PE (polyethylene) braid engineered for precision lure fishing, combining a nano coating with microcrystalline polymer for outstanding smoothness, abrasion resistance, and casting distance.

Zero Stretch for Instant Bite Detection

With 0% stretch, every tap, tick, and take transmits directly through the line to your hand. Whether you're working a jig over a rocky bottom or twitching a soft plastic at depth, the Sick Braid keeps you in direct contact with your lure — a real advantage when fishing at range or in strong currents.

Nano-Coated for Smooth, Long-Distance Casts

The nano coating with microcrystalline polymer creates an exceptionally slick surface that flies through rod rings with minimal friction. The same coating also gives the braid strong knot integrity and solid resistance to abrasion from rocks, gravel, and underwater structure — important qualities when targeting pike, zander, perch, and trout across varied freshwater venues.
