FTM GR8 Line Braided Line 0.08mm 4.8kg Purple

FTM GR8 Line — Ultra-Fine 0.08mm Braided Line for Finesse Spinning

The FTM GR8 Line in Purple is an 8-carrier (8-fold) braid built for anglers who demand long casts, low diameter, and dependable durability in both fresh and salt water. At just 0.08mm with a 4.8kg breaking strain, it's an ideal choice for finesse and light predator fishing.

Maximum Cast Distance from a Slender Profile

The 8-carrier construction produces an exceptionally round, smooth cross-section that flows cleanly through rod guides. This minimises friction on every cast, translating to noticeably longer distances even with lightweight lures — a real advantage when targeting wary fish in clear water or covering large areas.

Built to Last with an Additional Sealing Coat

Beyond the braid itself, the GR8 Line receives an extra sealing treatment that significantly increases abrasion resistance. Whether you're working structure, gravel beds, or weedy margins, the line holds up to repeated contact without premature wear. The vibrant purple colour proved highly visible to anglers during testing, making line-watching straightforward even at distance.
