Line - Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 8 Carrier 80lb Braid
This line is ideal for deep dropping due to the 8 strand braid paired with the teflon coating, which combine to provide a round, thin and super smooth braid. Not only does the Teflon coating provide extra smoothness to the line, it also has water repellent properties so that the line doesn't soak up too much water and become heavy and lose strength over time.
When deep dropping you need a smooth braid to minimise friction and heat generation in the line due to the heavy weights and fish being hauled up, which is exactly what the Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 achieves.
