FTM GR8 Line Braided Line 0.18mm 12.8kg 225m Aqua

FTM GR8 Line — Smooth 8-Carrier Braid for Confident Spinning

The FTM GR8 Line in Aqua/Blue is a well-built braided line designed with spin fishing in mind, equally at home on freshwater and saltwater venues. At 0.18 mm diameter with a 12.8 kg breaking strain, this 225 m spool sits in the versatile mid-weight range.

Smooth Surface for Maximum Cast Distance

The 8-carrier (GR8 stands for 8-strand) construction is tightly wound to produce a notably smooth, round profile. This reduces friction through the guides and allows the line to flow cleanly off the spool, contributing to long, accurate casts when working lures or soft plastics.

Abrasion Resistance You Can Rely On

Beyond the tight weave, an additional surface sealing treatment increases resistance to abrasion — useful when fishing around rocks, gravel, or submerged debris. The Aqua/Blue colour proved highly visible during testing, making bite detection and line management straightforward in varying light conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 8-strand Aqua/Blue construction on a 225 m spool. Match the diameter and breaking strain to your target species and setup:

• 0.10 mm / 6 kg — ultra-light freshwater spinning; trout, perch, small predators

• 0.12 mm / 8.2 kg — light lure fishing; perch, pike-perch, bass (fresh- and saltwater)

• 0.14 mm / 9.5 kg — general-purpose spinning; mixed predators, medium lures

• 0.16 mm / 11.3 kg — heavier spinning, jigging; pike, larger pike-perch, coastal species

• 0.18 mm / 12.8 kg — mid-heavy spinning and jigging; pike, catfish, sea bass, salt and freshwater (current variant)

• 0.20 mm / 14.2 kg — powerful setups; large pike, catfish, surf/saltwater fishing
