A HIGHER STANDARD IN 4-CARRIER BRAIDS – Hammer Braid braided fishing line utilizes a micro-filament UHMWPE fiber in a unique Diamond Braid pattern that maximizes the lines’ overall strength while decreasing the diameter over standard 4-carrier braids. On average Hammer Braid is 10% stronger than standard 4-carrier braids in the same pound test. COLORFAST PRE-TREATING PROCESS – Hammer Braid is colored using an engineered proprietary coating (EPC) process to pre-treat the fiber ensuring a colorfast braided line with virtually no fading and loss of color. The pre-treatment process also provides for greater knot strength than standard 4-carrier braids. SMOOTHER SURFACE DIAMETER – Hammer braid is manufactured in a tighter braid configuration which provides a smoother surface than standard 4-carrier braids. The smoother surface allows for longer casts and quieter retrieves while passing effortlessly through the rod guides. AMAZING ABRASION RESISTANCE – Hammer Braid’s pre-treatment process provides amazing abrasion resistance and longer life. The “Hammer Tough” braid construction cuts through vegetation effortlessly
