THE
T HE U LTIMATE F ISHING LINE
HISTORY
Pioneering the first-ever UHMWPE (ultra-highmolecular-weight-polyethylene) braided fishing line, TUF-LINE continues to redefine perfection. Through years of experience and persistence, we continue to manufacture a variety of products that are sure to fill every need of our fellow anglers. Our manufacturing partners have grown consistently along with TUF-LINE’s reputation of unwavering quality and are known as the industry leaders in textile braiding.
TECHNOLOGY
What makes TUF-LINE The Ultimate Fishing Line? Being avid anglers ourselves, throughout the decades we have continually tested and proven the superiority of our braid. Understanding the needs and wants of our customers, quality has always been and always will be our number one priority. There is nothing worse than losing the fish of a lifetime due to a breakage in your line, which is why TUF-LINE is pound for pound 15 times stronger than steel. Our proprietary coating process has created the most “bullet-proof” line on the market. The coating process permeates into the fibers of the braid creating a stronger, more abrasion-resistant, long-lasting superline. Through years of research and development, we have perfected our unparalleled coating process.
WHAT MAKES TUF-LINE DIFFERENT?
Our manufacturing partner produces a large variety of products that are used in high-tech industries including medical, automotive, electric motor manufacturing, aerospace, and military applications. Registered and approved as an ISO 9001 and AS 9100 organization, our production partners have proven that quality is their core concern. Currently, products made on the same machines and with similar materials are on NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover, in Formula 1 race cars, on the airplanes you fly in and are utilized throughout the entire American Armed Forces. TUF-LINE is built to the same rigorous quality and durability standards demanded by top US military and commercial partners. TUF-LINE is backed by proprietary technology that is only found on our products. Paired with the most advanced materials and production, you can rest assured that you’re using the best line you could ever put on your reel.
WHY CHOOSE TUF-LINE?
COATING
Our Force Fusion™ coating process ensures a longerlasting color and coating life due to the permeation of the coating throughout the braid. Our coating provides superior abrasion resistance but also a more permanent coloration of the line resulting in zero shedding or color bleeding.
ABRASION RESISTANCE
Independent lab results against the major competitors show just how “TUF” our lines are.
Accelerated Fiber to Metal Abrasion Resistance Cycles
TIPS
CHOOSE LINE BY DIAMETER, NOT BREAKING STRENGTH
When choosing a TUF-LINE product to replace a monofilament line, it’s usually best to choose a TUF-LINE with comparative diameter to the monofilament you would use in similar conditions. The benefit of this approach is maintaining similar handling characteristics and surface area to what you are used to.
SPOOL THE LINE TIGHT
TUF-LINE does not grip a reel spool as monofilaments do. Before spooling up with TUF-LINE, put a wrap of electrical tape on the reel spool. This gives the line something to bite into. Alternatively, you can also put a few yards of monofilament and tie the line directly to the mono. Wind the line on tightly and under steady pressure. Packing the reel well will eliminate any opportunity for the line to dig into the spool.
SET DRAGS PROPERLY AND USE A CONTROLLED HOOK SET
Set your drag to no more than 30% of the line’s breaking strength. If using a monofilament or fluorocarbon leader, set the drag to protect the leader. All TUF-LINE products have considerably less stretch than monofilament lines. Therefore, a monster hook set is not necessary. Be firm and controlled.
DOUBLE KNOTS PERFORM BETTER
TUF-LINE’s fibers and coatings don’t bite into one another when knotted. For this reason, poorly tied knots can slip under a load. For general applications, the use of a Palomar knot will hold with exceptional strength. To incorporate a wide family of knots, tie them with a doubled length of TUF-LINE to add significant strength.
MAX DISTANCE | ABRASION RESISTANT | SUPREME CASTING FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE IN FRESH OR SALTWATER
Our Force-Fusion™ coating process provides superior abrasion resistance and a more permanent coloration of the line resulting in zero shedding or color bleeding.
ROUND PROFILE
Fused fibers create a rounded profile that stays consistent throughout the entire spool for even casting.
SUPERIOR DISTANCE & HANDLING FOR A SMOOTH, ACCURATE CAST.
Our flagship, most premium eight-carrier superline provides performance on the water second to none. Utilizing Force-Fusion™ Technology, this superior offering is braided under extremely high tension, resulting in ultra-compact fibers and an overall more cylindrical form. This silky finish offers anglers a supreme casting experience while increasing reliability due to reduced wear. Additionally, its bonding and coating process ensures the longevity of color hook-up after hook-up. Cast it for yourself – you’ll catch the difference.

ULTIMATE STRENGTH | SMOOTH CASTING | EXTREME DURABILITY FOR RELIABILITY IN EVERY APPLICATION
ULTRA STRONG & ABRASION RESISTANT BRAID WITH NO STRETCH FOR BETTER HOOKSETS.
Aerospace advancements have been leveraged to produce TUF-LINE® XP, our best-selling braided superline. Tension Lock Technology is used in the manufacturing process to braid under extremely high tension, creating more compaction of the fibers and a rounder profile than competitive lines. As a result, XP is more compact, smaller in diameter, packs better on reels, offers better knot performance, casts longer, reduces rod tip wraps, and boasts higher abrasion resistance. Its state-of-the-art coating remains permanently bonded to the fibers, offering an incredibly long service life with zero shedding.
