FAQs
Can I use this line for fishing hookbaits?
No, this is specifically designed for spodding and bait delivery. It lacks the properties required for effective fishing or bait presentation.
Is a leader mandatory?
Yes, a shock leader is highly recommended to prevent the braid from snapping under the force of heavy spodding casts.
Does the yellow color fade over time?
Like all high-visibility braids, some fading can occur with prolonged sun exposure, but it is designed for longevity in harsh fishing environments.
What knot should I use to join this to my leader?
A strong, slim knot like the FG knot or a double uni-knot is recommended for a seamless transition through the rod guides.
Is this braid abrasive resistant?
While strong, it is designed for open water casting. Avoid dragging it over sharp rocks or zebra mussel beds whenever possible.
Troubleshooting
Line snapping during the cast
Ensure you are using a suitable tapered leader to absorb the casting shock.
Braid digging into the spool
Re-spool the line under higher tension and ensure it is layered evenly across the spool.
Wind knots occurring
Check that the line is not overfilled on the spool and ensure the rod guides are free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety and performance, always use the Exocet Mk2 in conjunction with a tapered monofilament or heavy-duty braid leader. The leader acts as a shock absorber during the explosive forces of a spod cast, protecting the braid from snapping at the knot. When spooling your reel, ensure the line is wound tightly and evenly to prevent digging in. After use, rinse the reel spool with fresh water to remove any lake silt or salt residue. Store your rod setup in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the braid fibers over time.
