KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line - Abrasion Resistant Braided Lines – Incredible Superline – Zero Stretch – Smaller Diameter – A Must-Have!

Avoid at all cost. I purchased because it was one of the few braids offered in a 500yd spool and I needed it fast. It is impregnated with some kind of dye that fouls up everything. Worse than road tar as the only thing that will clean it is MEK. When I spoiled it up, my fingers were black with what resembles the ink out of a ball point pen when you break one. Nothing would remove it from my fingers until I tried MEK. Now my Penn 6500 is covered in the same foul goo. This was the grey color offered. The reel bail & roller, spool and all the rod eyes will require solvent cleaning before it can be respooled.

This is the third time I have bought this line of braid, after going through the ringer twice with it, I have dedicated to it and picked up one spool of each color for me and my fishing crew. The line has proven surprisingly strong and durable. I fish out of Hawaii, primarily on the shoreline, and have a lot of rocks and reef to deal with. The line has handled multiple instances where I have got stuck up on the rocks and needed to apply sizable force to turn a fish out of a hole, and the line handles each time. I run a hook line off of the braid that is of the same test, and with the exception of one time, the line has always broke at the mono hook line, while the braid stood strong. Saltwater and fishing from the shore puts your line to the test, and this braid has passed with flying colors in my experience. Solid price point for a solid product. Me and all my crew have been stoked on our new pickup of line, and it is showing as much promise as the last couple times I have tried this braid. Very happy to have all the color variation to be trying out too.

the main reason i purchased the 20lb line was because kastking claims there line diameter is 0.18mm. i was looking for something comparable to maxcuatro (it’s a bit expensive) in the same lb line. maxcuatro’s line diameter is 0.19. i put the two lines side by side and kastking is easily almost twice a thick as maxcuatro. if you're casting a semi light lure you might struggle with distance at first since the line is a little stiff. might need some time to break it in a little. will report back on it's durability over the next week and see how it holds up with some snook/tarpon/trout abuse.****update aug 27******i have used KK enough over the past month and it's not for me. i thought maybe the line would loosen up and not be so stiff, that didn't happen. casting semi-heavy lures, i lose distance compared to powerpro slick and maxcuatro. that can make the difference between getting your cast in the "sweet spot" or coming up short.

great line for ocean fishing. this is for your main line , just add a light leader and pow FISH ON. Castro camp in Baja, mexico, using kastking 65# SuperPower braided line with 40# leader. i caught this Seabass it weighed 62# after gill and gutted. Just got lucky. pervious years I've gotten 30's and 40's but never bigger. this line was fantastic. TommyTuna

I was skeptical at first because of the low price of this line. But after a full season using this on Lake Michigan and landing a substantial number of 20+ pound monsters, I'm completely sold! Not 1 break off the entire season. The color fades after time, but the fish don't seem to care. I now have 26 rods with this line on them. I use it for backing on lead core rods and spool up the downrigger and dipsy rods fully and then use a fluorocarbon leader. To do this with the name brand stuff is relatively expensive and I now see no reason to invest in anything else!

Awesome stuff right here.I was looking for a cheaper alternative to PowerPro or Sufix, so i figured i'd give it a shot, and test it out. Here's what i foundPro's:1- Price2- Strength; tested 100yrds in 3,5,10,15 feet incriments (3 times each length) and averaged ~16.6lb breaking strength. Would be higher, but a couple of the shorter length tests broke at the knot below 10lbs (likely my error). Highest was 17.25lb3- SUPER smooth casting. After several uses in saltwater (without rinsing reel/line) the line never got stiff, and casts as good if not better than PowerPro Super 8 Slick4- Durability is phenomenal. Got tangled up in oyster covered rocks, 30lb mono leader was broke and the portion of braid that was tangled up was a little frayed, similar to what PowerPro does after using it for a while. Removed it to test, and it broke @ 12.75lb. Pretty good considering how tangled up it was.Con's:1- There is some black stuff on the line (invisible-grey), not sure what it is. Not REALLY a con, just annoying when you are trying to spool a reel and hold tension on the line only to look at your fingers/hands after to find black everywhere. So far, it seems to have rinsed off.2- After the black stuff rinses off, the line changes color to more of a light blue. Not really a con, more of an observation.Overall, i'm pleasantly surprised, and won't be using any other brand ever again. A quality product at half the price? Yep, that's for me.Edit: Purchased the 50ld and 10lb since my review - excelent stuff. Holds up like it's supposed to.

I use KastKing on all my gear for fishing here in Southern California. With a short topshot, this braid has cut thru lots of kelp while fighting yellowtail off my kayak. I've used this braid when it was just called Eposeidon and not KastKing, and I'll keep using it for as long as I fish. For the quality at the price, it cant be beat. I started off using this line on my surf reels but now all my reels have it. I use 20lb on my sabiki, 50lb for my Sealine SHA X-40 and 65lb on my TLD 15. Best line I've ever used, hands down.

Super tough string. Resist abrasions as good as anything I've tried

Seeing as there is alot of fake reviews online about this line I will give an honest reviewHaving used the mega8 casting braid that faded and broke under the stated breaking strain casting seemed to have got their act together for the new Fortis lineKnot strength is goodColour hasn't faded after a few usesQuiet through the guides when castingFeels strong braidWhether it matches the actual breaking strain I can't tellOverall good braid for the money so will be loading my reels up with this braid for 2017

Appears to be good stuff... will be tried out for first time on the banks of the Wye next week.. watch out Mr Barbel we're coming for you!! : )Good service from vendor.

on the very first use the braided line advertised for 50lb snapped under a fish of approx 15lb weight

Fast delivery. Item like shown.

Breaks very easily - I’d avoid if I were you. Replacing mine with a more reliable braid.
