Western Filament's Tuf Line® XP is a small-diameter, Spectra braid designed to lay evenly on the spool. Tuf Line XP is produced under a high-tension process allowing for greater compaction of the fibers, making it stronger than other braids. Tuf Line XP's advanced finishing process also produces a line that boasts higher abrasion resistance and near-zero stretch with excellent knot performance.

Smooth and ReliableI tried many nylon and 'super braids' for musky fishing. Tuf Line XP is smooth for long casts and a quiet retrieve. It is strong and reliable year after year. I've used the 56 & 80 LB test for years now, reversing it on the reel after two or three year use. The green color does fade, but that has no impact on its fishing performance. If you think the green color is needed, to refresh it just run a green magic marker over the first couple yards of line that will run in front of the lure.

Great Alternative than those high price braidsI've fished with many brands of braids. Suffix, Spider Wire, and of course Power Pro. I heard nothing but good reviews about this line. Price point and quality of this line is excellent. Very sensitive and and limp. Knot strength is great too. Don't have any problems of my knots breaking off. I got to spool 3 Shimano Cardiff 401a with this line. Of course backing is needed. Highly recommend this line who wants to try something new or different.

limp as a wet noodleI was looking for a replacement for the old original spider wire (no coatings).
This line fit the bill, just what I was looking for and I like the fact that it gets lighter colored. My primary use is with plastics with a fluorocarbon leader and I sometimes see a line tic before I feel the hit. Great product

Great productI've been using this line for over 6 years in strengths of 12 to 80 pound. I find I very reliable and it stands up well under very demanding conditions. I recommend it

Quality lineI bought 300yds of the 30lb green line almost three years ago and it has performed wonderfully since then. It was the first brand of braided line I used and will be the last as long as the quality remains the same. I haven't had any breaks like other reviews mentioned. The color does fade rather rapidly to white, however I didn't think that warranted a loss of a star. I've caught plenty fish on the old white tuf line.

Great StuffHaving used about all the different braided lines while trying to find something that would give good service on both spinning and casting reels, I think this is the only one out there that does both really well. I don't have the twisting problem with this line that other lines give me. The diameter is a little larger than other lines of same strength. I have no problem with knots holding. I really like this line!!

Poor PerformanceTried to tie a fluorocarbon leader to 50 pound braid and it broke everytime. Tied uni to uni, modified albright, and others, different leaders, all broke. Tied same knots with Power Pro and had no issues. Also, the color is misleading Moss green. Very faint green that fades after 1 trip and it basically white line.

excellent line choiceI purchased the line for bottom fishing in 100 to 300 feet of water and the small diameter or the line allows me to use less weight and I am able to feel the bites much easier.
Thank you for your inquiry. This is a Spectra braid.

Does TufLine work on top-water baits?
Asked by: basserguy42
gets wet and sinks but no stretch. I think sinking is a bit of a problem unless your top water is moving all the time

Can this line work good with the Billdance river catfish baitcast combo without any backing? Please answer!
I'm looking for a combo with the right line that can hold big fish. I'm planning on getting 65 lb. braid with this line and putting it on my billdance river catfish baitcast combo if I get it. If it would work good with it I would like to know if it needs backing.
Asked by: rmonster
Yes, you can use this line without backing. However, Braided line is much more narrow and does not fill the spool as intended. Mono makes a good backing to properly fill a spool. Thanks

How well will this braid perform on spinning gear?
Just bought some 20# pound tuf line? I'v heard mixed reviews! I float in the french broad river for smallies with 8 pound fluoro. line. The last time I was out I cought 30 or so but lost two 5+ pounders, they got me over and under some rocks it was a heart breaker! Im fishing with a Pflueger Trion GX-7 Spinning Reel - 4735GX. I'm tired of losing hogs and 8 dollar lures! Any advice would be much appreciated!!!
Asked by: blakeNC
wonderfully, line is not coated so it is very limp. It spools very nicely. I use it on spinning gear with plastics and a floro leader

how well would this line be for a beginner using a baitcaster?
Asked by: SoCo
It is brilliant because i find it much easier to work with than mono. Birdnests are inevitable while learning a baitcaster and I have had little problem sorting out a mess on the rare occasion it happens. I tends to stay on the spool better when there is an over rotation. I find mono likes to jump off and add to the mess. plus this stuff is indestructible. You will not lose lures.
