Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 Braided Line 2000m 18kg 0.19mm Translucent

Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 — Long-Cast Braid with Near-Invisible Profile

The Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 X8 PE (polyethylene) Braid in Translucent / 0.19 mm / 18 kg delivers the sensitivity and strength of an 8-carrier braid with a surface so smooth it practically glides through your guides — all on a generous 2000 m bulk spool ideal for refilling multiple reels.

Round, Tight Weave for Maximum Casting Distance

Eight PE fibre carriers are woven into an unusually dense, round profile that minimises friction against rod guides and the water surface. The result is noticeably longer casts compared to looser braids of the same diameter — a real advantage when covering water for predators or presenting lures at range.

Microcrystalline Polymer Coating for Smoothness Without Sacrificing Strength

A thin layer of high-resistance microcrystalline polymer bonds to the weave without adding bulk, keeping the diameter honest at 0.19 mm while protecting individual fibres from abrasion. The coating also contributes to good knot-tying behaviour — the braid beds down cleanly under tension rather than slipping or piling.

Choose the Right Variant

The Stealth Smooth8 X8 PE Braid comes in a wide range of diameters, breaking strains, and colours to match your target species and technique. Select the combination that suits your setup best.
