Finesse X8 has increased stiffness, transferring energy and vibration to the rod tip quicker which equates to a much more sensitive line than other braided lines in the market. This stiffness also provides an unsurpassed reduction of wind-knots. However, the true benefit is the unmatched thinness of the line, providing extraordinary benefits to the angler and his technique, such as father distance and water to drag resistance and better lure performance.
