Braided with new Spectra HT (High-Tenacity) fiber from Honeywell that is up to 25 percent thinner than equivalent pound test braid, PowerPro has added the new Maxcuartro fishing line to its catalog.
Spectra HT fiber, exclusive to PowerPro for use in braided fishing line, allows for four-end construction contributing to longer casting distance. Anglers will quickly notice the performance when used on a baitcasting reels, and can downsize their tackle and still have plenty of capacity when used in saltwater situations.
PowerPro Maxcuartro braid is offered in two colors – moss green primarily for freshwater situations, and high-vis yellow for both fresh and saltwater fishing use. Both colors are available in 50-, 65-, 80- and 100-pound test, on 150, 500, 1,500 and 3,000-yard spools.
“What anglers will note quickly is the how thin Maxcuartro is, up to 25 percent thinner at comparable test weights which is all due to our use of Spectra HT fiber,” said Dan Thorburn of PowerPro. “This leads to all kinds of fishing success benefits – more reel capacity, improved casting distance, lower visibility, plus you can downsize you tackle to enjoy the your time on the water and the entire fish fighting scenario even more.”
With Maxcuatro, anglers can also expect twice the abrasion resistance of original PowerPro line.
“With Spectra HT, Honeywell is able to provide a fiber that has less internal friction, so Maxcuartro is also more durable, providing longer life on your reels, plus you’ll notice less line fray,” said Thorburn.
As with other PowerPro braided fishing lines, Maxcuartro is up to eight times more sensitive and has minimal stretch when compared to nylon and fluorocarbon fishing lines. Anglers feel even the lightest strikes, allowing them to make quick, solid hookset, all in hopes of catching more fish.
A 150-yard spool of 50-pound test Maxcuatro will retail for $28.99. It'll be available this spring.
