PowerPro Super8Slick V2

Re-engineered with added abrasion toughness, the new PowerPro Super8Slick V2 braided fishing line combines an eight-end dense weave fiber construction with proven ‘Enhanced Body Technology’ (EBT) process. The new braid is offered in nine different pound test designations, and in five spool sizes to fill from one reel, to bulk spools for multiple fills and for reel spooling by your local tackle shop.

Named “Best New Fishing Line” at the 2018 ICAST Show, the new ‘V2’ version is the smoothest, softest and longest casting braid in the PowerPro line-up. The Honeywell Spectra fiber provides a stronger, tougher braid, while the PowerPro EBT process makes the Super8Slick V2 structurally rounder. The process floods propriety resin through the finished braid, resulting in a smoother line that reduces backlashes, increases casting distance, makes it easier to tie knots, and offers superior strength to size ratio. It is extremely silent as it passes over the rod guides.

The new Super8Slick V2 braid is offered in PowerPro’s well known moss green for all-around use, onyx (black), hi-vis aqua green and blue. All colors are offered in 8-, 10-, 15-, 20, 30-, 40-, 50-, 65- and 80-pound test (from 1-pound test to 18-pound test mono diameter equivalent), and in 100-, 150- and 300-yards spools and 1500- and 3000-yard bulk filler spools.

The line will retail from $20.99 for 150-yard spools. For more information on the new PowerPro Super8Slick V2 from Innovative Textiles - a Shimano Company, see your local tackle dealer, visit PowerPro.com on the web, or call PowerPro customer service at 877/577-0600.
