Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 0.05mm 5.4kg 150m Translucent

Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 — Ultra-Fine 0.05 mm Braid for Finesse Fishing

At just 0.05 mm diameter and 5.4 kg breaking strain, this translucent 8-carrier PE braid gives finesse anglers a near-invisible presentation with the sensitivity and strength to detect and land light-biting fish.

Smooth, Round Braid for Maximum Cast Distance

The Stealth Smooth8 is woven tight from eight PE (polyethylene) fibre carriers, forming a dense, round cross-section that flows freely through rod guides. The result is noticeably longer casts compared to looser or rounder constructions, while the smooth surface reduces friction and line noise during the retrieve — a real advantage when working light lures at range.

Microcrystalline Polymer Coating Without Compromise

A thin layer of high-durability microcrystalline polymer coating binds the eight carriers together, keeping the braid supple and quiet while adding abrasion resistance. Crucially, the coating does not inflate the diameter or reduce knot strength — the line ties cleanly and holds securely, so you can rely on your knots even when fishing close to cover or structure.

Choose the Right Variant

The Stealth Smooth8 is available across a wide range of diameters, breaking strains, and colours to match different techniques, target species, and water types.
