Berkley Forward Braid

Berkley has introduced its FORWARD Braid, a purpose-built line for use with forward-facing sonar.

FORWARD Braid’s proprietary technology provides the angler with a new tool that overcomes common pain points experienced when using forward-facing sonar – casting distance, sensitivity and sink rate. With Berkley FORWARD Braid anglers now have complete control of how they present their bait to fish.
 
FORWARD Braid’s unique longitudinal construction differs from standard braided line in that it is smooth and round in shape allowing for zero resistance when traveling through the guides of a rod, thus providing the angler with optimal castability. Where traditional braided lines flatten out, FORWARD Braid keeps its shape through the guides giving anglers using forward-facing sonar the ability to cast farther, placing their bait right where they want it at the right time, without any resistance.

Sink rate and sensitivity are also key concerns for many FFS anglers. The smaller diameters offered with FORWARD Braid allow it to cut through the water column faster, getting smaller, finesse-style baits to the fish faster. An additional, unique benefit of FORWARD Braid’s proprietary longitudinal design is that it reduces fiber crossover to increase sensitivity and provide a stronger, more direct signal back to the angler when compared to standard woven braid.
  

Key Features – FORWARD Braid

• The longitudinal construction provides additional advantages compared to conventional braid:

     -   Higher sensitivity due to reducing the fiber crossover which increases the signal back to the angler
     -   Maintains the line’s cross section integrity allowing for longer casts and more longevity over time
     -   Smaller diameters and weight ratios that create less wind resistance when casting a lure
     -   Ability to pack more line onto a reel
