FTM GR8 Line Braided Line 0.16mm 11.3kg Purple

FTM GR8 Line Braided Line 0.16 mm – Smooth 8-Carrier Braid for Longer Casts

The FTM GR8 Line is a smooth, durable 8-carrier braid built for predator fishing. In purple — a colour proven to be highly visible during testing — this 225 m spool at 0.16 mm / 11.3 kg is a confident all-round choice for freshwater spinning.

Cast Further with an 8-Carrier Weave

The tight 8-carrier construction creates a round, smooth profile that slips through rod guides cleanly, reducing friction and extending cast distance. Whether you're working a river bank or a large reservoir, you'll notice the extra metres under the right conditions.

Sealed Surface for Lasting Abrasion Resistance

An additional sealing treatment locks the braid fibres together and hardens the outer surface, helping the line resist wear from rocky substrates, gravel bars, and repeated guide contact. This adds practical longevity without affecting the line's sensitivity or suppleness in the hand.

Choose the Right Variant

The GR8 Line Purple is available in several diameter and breaking-strain combinations across the same 225 m spool format, covering light finesse work right through to heavier predator tactics.

• 0.08 mm / 4.8 kg — ultra-light setups, small lures, perch and trout in clear water

• 0.10 mm / 6 kg — light spinning, small plugs and jig heads, freshwater predators

• 0.12 mm / 8.2 kg — versatile all-rounder for pike, perch, and zander in fresh or salt water

• 0.16 mm / 11.3 kg — medium-weight freshwater spinning; good balance of sensitivity and strength for pike and zander

• 0.18 mm / 12.8 kg — heavier lures, larger pike, freshwater

• 0.20 mm / 14.2 kg — big-lure fishing, strong currents, trophy pike
