FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What water is Blackout best in?
Black is the hardest color for a fish to pick out in stained, tannic, and muddy water, and it is the best night-fishing line we make. In gin-clear water it silhouettes against a bright sky, so Green or Bahama Blue blends better there. Either way, a fluorocarbon leader is what the fish actually sees at the hook.
What is the difference between 4 Strand and 8 Strand braid?
Eight strands are woven tighter and rounder, so 8X is thinner for the same pound test, slicker through the guides, quieter on the cast, and it flies farther. Four strands weave flatter and squarer, which makes 4X a little grabbier on rock and shell and easier on the wallet. Simple rule: throwing light lures on spinning gear or chasing casting distance, take 8X. Fishing heavy cover, dragging bottom, or filling several reels on a budget, 4X is the workhorse. Both use the same PE fiber and the same diameter chart.
Will the color fade or bleed onto my reel?
It cannot. Blackout is made from black OEM fiber rather than dyed line, so there is no color coating to bleed onto your hands or your reel and nothing to wash out in the sun. It is the same black on the last cast of the season as it is on the first.
What pound test and spool size should I get?
This one is offered in 8lb, 10lb, 15lb, 20lb, 30lb, 40lb, 50lb, 60lb, 80lb, 100lb. As a starting point: 8 to 15lb for trout, panfish, and finesse, 20 to 30lb for bass and all-around freshwater, 30 to 50lb for inshore snook, reds, and trout, 50 to 65lb for heavy inshore and light offshore, 80lb and up for offshore and big structure. Diameters: 8lb at 0.10mm, 10lb at 0.12mm, 15lb at 0.16mm, 20lb at 0.20mm, 30lb at 0.28mm, 40lb at 0.32mm, 50lb at 0.37mm, 60lb at 0.40mm, 80lb at 0.48mm, 100lb at 0.55mm. This one comes in 300 Yards, 2000 Yards. A 300 yard spool fills one average reel. The 2000 yard bulk spool is for filling several reels at once and works out to the lowest cost per yard. Braid is thinner than mono at the same rating, so most anglers step up a size from the mono they used to run and still gain casting distance.
What knot should I use, and how do I spool it without wind knots?
For braid to leader, the FG knot is the strongest and thinnest and it passes through guides cleanly. A double uni with 6 to 8 wraps per side is easier on the water and holds fine under 30lb. Straight to a hook or lure, use a Palomar tied with doubled line. Wet every knot before you cinch it, because a dry knot burns and that is where most break-offs actually happen. When you spool up, keep firm tension on the line the whole way, use mono backing or a strip of tape on a bare arbor so the braid cannot slip, and stop about an eighth of an inch below the spool lip. An overfilled spool is the real cause of most wind knots people blame on the line.
Do I need backing, or can I spool braid straight onto the reel?
Braid is slick enough to spin on a bare spool. Either lay down a short mono or fluoro backing and join it with an FG or double uni knot, or wrap a strip of electrical tape around the bare arbor first. Then spool under steady tension with the line coming off the filler spool the same direction it goes onto your reel, which is what keeps wind knots from showing up on your first cast.
How thin is braid compared to mono?
Much thinner at the same strength, usually right around half the diameter. That is the whole point: you pack far more line onto the same reel, you cut through wind instead of ballooning in it, and you cast noticeably further. Exact diameters for every pound test in this line are listed in the size chart on this page.
Will braid damage my rod guides?
No. Modern guide inserts handle braid without any trouble. What actually shreds line is a guide insert that is already chipped or cracked. Run a cotton swab around the inside of each guide once a season, and if it snags a fiber, replace that guide before it costs you a fish.
What is the right way to cut it?
Not with nail clippers, and not with a knife. Braid is a PE fiber that frays and rolls away from a dull edge instead of cutting, so you end up with a mashed end that will not pass through a knot cleanly. Use a dedicated braid scissor with serrated blades for a square cut, and your knots will seat right the first time.
How often should I respool?
Braid outlasts mono by a wide margin, so most anglers get multiple seasons out of one spool. The last stretch of line takes nearly all the abuse, so before you replace the whole thing, strip off the first 20 to 30 yards and retie. When the line starts feeling fuzzy well down the spool, or you have lost enough to hurt your capacity, it is time. You can also pull the line off, reverse it end for end, and respool to get a full second life out of it.
