Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 18, 2014 Super User Posted February 18, 2014 what kind of line is tufline? ive never heard of it It's braided line. I use 10 or 15 lb braid on my spinning reels (all my spinning reels have braid as mainline). I will then use a leader. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 it is NOT your typical braid...it was designed with spinning reels in mind....and no need for a leader at all.. this is from TW The longest-casting and easiest handling superline TUF-Line has ever developed, TUF-Line SuperCast will change the way you think about braided line. Utilizing a revolutionary post-process coating that adds lubricity, this new coating allows SuperCast to have superior castability and distance compared to monofilament, fluorocarbon, or standard braided lines. The added lubricity also allows knots to cinch down tighter for higher strength and security. Manufactured with a unique bi-component process, TUF-Line SuperCast incorporates an exclusive inside-out coating process that ensures a perfectly round, smooth, and highly abrasion-resistant superline that does not break down or lose its rigidity with prolonged use. The coating process of SuperCast also ensures permanent coloration of the line so the color won’t fade, flake, or bleed. SuperCast with its smooth outer coating, quietly glides through the rod guides without the tell-tale braided line screech, allowing for longer casting distance and a stealthier approach when flipping or punching. SuperCast also eliminates common issues associated with spinning reels when using braided lines, like poor bail performance, tip wraps, and wind knots. So if you have been hesitant to try braided lines on your spinning reels, SuperCast is the perfect choice. For casting reel applications the ultra-round construction of SuperCast virtually eliminates the line's ability to dig into itself and will give you trouble-free handling all day long. So whether you are using a casting or spinning reel you will find SuperCast to be the quietest and easiest to manage superline ever designed. TUF-Line SuperCast delivers a significant advancement in superlines by producing a line that has the smoothness and handling of monofilament and the toughness of braid. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 18, 2014 Super User Posted February 18, 2014 It's not a traditional braid. It's a fused and coated micro filament line. Think Fireline original with a slick coating. I wouldn't classify it as a spinning only line, but it's break strength is about double standard mono per diameter. So, 30# SuperCast is similar to 15# mono. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 I've used both the 12 and 20# supercast lines both on spinning, at first I liked it. The 12# was used mostly fishing weedless flukes with leader and BB swivel, I had the same line twist and windknots as any other braid. Similar scenario with the 20#, used with my barracuda tubes that constantly rotate 360 degrees. Not saying any strength was lost but I did have an uneasy feeling with the coating always breaking off.
