With almost 100 years of braiding experience and technology, Cortland Line is a leader amongst premium super braid constructed using all the best features of Cortland's legendary Spectron braided line, but with a unique coating that makes the braid permanently stiff. A proprietary Cortland process permanently bonds the color and finish to the fibers of the braid eliminating fading or flaking so common with competitive braided lines. With only 4% stretch, small diameter pound/test ratio and a unique hyrdophobic coating that slices through the water and comes back dry, Master Braid delivers outstanding braid performance!
