Best braid
I like small line diameters for finesse fishing smallmouth. This is by far the most durable line for its rating. Very abrasion resistant and holds color extremely well. Respooled all my reels with Cortland and not looking back!

Cortland Master Braid™ is the most consistently performing super braid, ideal for a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater applications. Implementing Cortland’s Opti-ConTM Technology, gel-spun fibers are woven into a tighter and stronger braid that stacks better on the reel.
Master Braid is treated with FiberTech® protection that bonds to the individual gel-spun fibers, which adds body and improves handling of the line. This super braid excels at strike detection, instantaneous hooksets and longer casts. With exceptional strength and low stretch, Master Braid doesn’t require a break-in period and maintains its body and handling cast after cast for an extended life. ColorLast™ provides long-lasting color that does not bleed.
