GOOD GEAR: FINS 40G BRAID


FINS is proud to announce the release of its latest braided super line the 40G. The unique composite structure of the 40G gives it a smooth mono-like feel while still being a durable braid with an incredibly-small diameter-to-strength ratio.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT Fins 40G

Why does 40G come in unusual package tensiles? We wanted to highlight how different 40G is compared to existing braids. As an example, most braids that are equivalent to a 6lb mono are labelled 20lb; 40G is 45lb. Also our “full disclosure” front label gives you the average break without a knot, as well as diameters in English and metric units.

What makes this line feel so smooth? FINS 40G is made with a unique process; we start with a core of SPECTRA fibre and then over-braid this tightly with 8 ends of smaller yarns.

Why does this line cost more? Smaller yarns generally cost more and the 40G’s unique processing is also slower than typical braiding which is why it has such an excellent feel.

Does this line hold up well? Our pro-staff anglers report at least twice the wear as standard braids. When 40G is close to wearing out, you have an advance warning as the over-braid will show damage before the core. Will this line hold its colour? The colour will last as long as the product, due to the colour being applied to the core fibres. 40G gets darker when wet and lighter when dry.

What knot do you recommend? We recommend the Palomar for terminal attachments, and a double uni-knot when attaching to a leader, but giving an extra wrap is always a good idea with super slick FINS 40G.

Colour: Chartreuse   Spool Lengths:  150 / 300 / 1500yd spools.
