No Stretch: There's no power in line that stretches belief. Direct Contact Braid doesn't stretch, so you have full hook-setting power. Sensitivity AND Strength: The best of both worlds. Line that's strong enough to fight beasts, and also transmits even the most sensitive nibbles. Abrasion Resistant: Direct Contact line has a custom coating that helps keep the fibers together, slide over abrasions, and cut through weeds. No Memory Plus Tighter Diameter: Tired of backlash, coils, and birdnests? Direct Contact braided fishing line has no memory. When you cast, it stays straight. 40lb Direct Contact Braid has a line diameter of 0.3mm. 80lb has a diameter of 0.5mm. These are about half of the diameter of the same test mono. This means you can fit MORE and STRONGER line on your same reel. Catfish Sumo is a USA Company: Small business based in Chattanooga, TN, we're here to support you.
