Featuring a smaller diameter lead core protected by a powerful UHMPE (Ultra High Modulus PE) fiber braid, TUF-LINE® Micro Lead revolutionizes lead core trolling. With reduced drag, Micro Lead achieves the same sink rate as standard lead core and can be fished on lighter rods and smaller reels. This fiber braid is 3X stronger than standard lead core line and delivers smooth, effortless handling. Better materials provide better performance; the 18-pound test offers an incredible 53-pound break strength, while the 27-pound test holds up to 63-pounds.
