Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 Braided Line 2000m 12.7kg 0.13mm Translucent

Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 — Ultra-Thin Translucent Braid for Finesse Freshwater Fishing

The Spiderwire Stealth Smooth8 X8 PE (Polyethylene) Braid in Translucent at 0.13 mm / 12.7 kg delivers a barely-there profile on the water combined with the sensitivity and strength of an 8-carrier construction — ideal for finesse presentations where line visibility matters.

Smooth, Round 8-Carrier Construction for Longer Casts

Eight tightly interwoven PE fibre carriers create a dense, round braid that flows cleanly off the spool and through rod guides. The result is reduced friction and noticeably longer casting distances compared to looser weaves, without sacrificing the low-diameter advantage that makes this line so versatile in freshwater scenarios.

Microcrystalline Polymer Coating for Durability and Knot Strength

A thin layer of high-resistance microcrystalline polymer locks the braid together, smoothing the surface and protecting individual fibres from abrasion. This coating also improves knot reliability, so you can trust your connection to swivels, lures, and leaders to hold under pressure — without adding meaningful bulk to the line.

Choose the Right Variant

The Stealth Smooth8 X8 is available in a wide range of diameters, breaking strains, and colours to match your target species and fishing style. Select based on the weight of lures you're casting, expected fish size, and visibility preferences.
