SPIDERWIRE® STEALTHŒ BRAIDED FISHING LINE
Monofilament Manageability And Body With Spiderwire Strength And Sensitivity
SPIRIT LAKE, IOWA No fishing line has yet been made from an actual spider¹s web. But anglers have known for years that Spiderwire braided line comes awfully close. It¹s the world¹s strongest, thinnest, most sensitive family of fishing lines. Now Spiderwire introduces new Spiderwire Stealth, quiet, smooth casting superbraid.
Stealth flows smoothly and quietly off the reel spool and shoots through
the rod guides like a bullet for long, accurate casts. The secret to Stealth is its ultra thin, tight weave construction and Teflon® pressure-treated micro fibers.Unlike the 50-year old technology of wax coating braided lines, the Teflon
treatment process used in Stealth permeates the entire braid and won¹t wear off. The line maintains its reliable round cross-section cast after cast.Stealth fishes like a monofilament line. It won¹t "dig in" to the reel
spool, cut rod guides or destroy reel guide parts. With Stealth, there are no more worries about whip-knotting or low knot strength. And backlash frustrations fly out the window.Stealth exhibits exceptional knot performance, but for best results a Palomar knot is recommended. In addition, anglers are urged to lay down a monofilament backing (such as Spiderwire Super Mono XXX) on reel spools before loading Stealth to prevent line slippage on the reel spool. Use a Uni knot to join the monofilament to Stealth. Reel spools should not be overfilled and because of the near zero stretch of Stealth, anglers should back off the power when setting the hook. A lighter action rod is also encouraged.
Spiderwire Stealth is available in 150-yard and 300-yard spools in tracer yellow and moss green. Line strengths range from a 10-pound test line with 2-pound test monofilament diameter to a 100-pound test line with 20-pound test monofilament diameter.
The suggested retail price of new Spiderwire Stealth begins at $15.45 for the 10/2 150 yard spool and goes to $36.95 for the 100/20-yard spool.
