Top 3 HI-SEAS line and reasons why:
HI-SEAS 100% Fluorocarbon Line: The strongest and most manageable fluoro line I’ve ever used. Almost no memory and extremely easy to fish, yet, impossible to break. I use this line for 80% of my fishing techniques.
HI-SEAS Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon Line: The best enhancement to fluorocarbon line since the originial. This line provides all the excellent qualities of the original fluoro line, with a softer feel, the same strength, and a greater invisibility factor.
