Product Information
Full details

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this line suitable for PVA bag fishing?
Yes, its low diameter and strength make it excellent for distance PVA work.
Do I need a shock leader?
It is highly recommended when casting at extreme ranges to protect the mainline and prevent crack-offs.
How long is the spool?
The product is supplied on a 300-meter spool.
Is this line abrasion resistant?
Yes, the Dyneema construction is highly resistant to abrasion, making it ideal for weedy or snaggy venues.
Can I use this for feeder fishing?
Absolutely; the sensitivity of the braid is ideal for detecting bites at long distances in feeder setups.
Troubleshooting
Line digging into the spool
Ensure you load the line under firm tension and avoid overfilling the spool to the very edge.
Knots slipping or coming undone
Switch to a braid-specific knot like the Grinner or Palomar, and ensure you lubricate the knot with water before tightening.
Poor casting distance
Check your rod rings for damage and ensure the spool is filled properly; use a slightly lighter lead if the line is not clearing the rings cleanly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional casting distance due to low friction
- Near-zero stretch for superior bite indication at long range
- Highly durable in snaggy or weedy conditions
- Soft texture prevents excessive line noise through rod guides
Cons
- Zero stretch can lead to hook pulls if the clutch is too tight
- Can be more visible in extremely clear water compared to fluorocarbon
- Requires specialized knot selection to maintain strength
Setup, Compatibility & Care
When setting up the Kinetic Distance Mainline, it is recommended to use a shock leader if you are casting heavy leads at maximum power, as braided lines have no elastic shock absorption. Because of the slick nature of Dyneema, ensure you use braid-friendly knots such as the Palomar or a specialized braid knot to prevent slippage. When winding the line onto your reel for the first time, keep the line under tension to ensure an even lay, which prevents line dig-in. To maintain the line's longevity, rinse it with fresh water after fishing in silty or abrasive environments and store your reels out of direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation.
