Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 0.29mm 26.4kg 150m Translucent

Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 — Ultra-Smooth 8-Carrier Braid for Maximum Cast Distance

The Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 X8 PE (Polyethylene) Braid in Translucent, 0.29 mm / 26.4 kg, delivers the sensitivity and strength of a premium 8-strand braid with a silky-smooth finish that lets you cast farther and fish more comfortably in both fresh and saltwater.

Microcrystalline Polymer Coating for Unmatched Smoothness

Eight tightly woven PE fibre carriers create a dense, round braid profile that already reduces friction significantly. A thin layer of high-durability microcrystalline polymer coating takes this further, producing a surface that glides through rod guides with minimal resistance. The result is noticeably longer casts and reduced guide wear over time.

Sensitive, Supple, and Easy to Knot

Despite its 26.4 kg breaking strain at just 0.29 mm diameter, the Stealth Smooth8 stays soft and pliable on the spool. You'll feel bottom structure and subtle takes clearly through the low-stretch PE construction. Knot connection is straightforward — the supple braid seats cleanly without the stiffness that can compromise knot strength on some braids.

Choose the Right Variant

The Stealth Smooth8 is available across a wide range of diameters, breaking strains, and colours to match your target species, technique, and water conditions. Select by colour for visibility or stealth, and by strength for your rod's rating and intended quarry.
