UltraSpod vs SENSE which braid to choose?

In 2025, we expanded our range with the new braided mainline UltraSpod 25lb, crafted specifically for spodding. While the UltraSpod and SENSE lines share similar features, their intended purposes differ. Both lines are floating braided mainlines made from 8 tightly woven fibers, offering excellent casting properties and durability.

Key Features of UltraSpod and SENSE

• SENSE: With a thinner diameter, SENSE is designed for maximum casting distance. It’s the ideal choice for anglers looking to reach extreme ranges effortlessly.
• UltraSpod: Built for spodding, UltraSpod is specifically designed for use with various types of bait rockets. When spodding to a clipped distance, frequent impacts with the spool clip demand a line that can withstand repeated stress. UltraSpod features a thicker diameter and higher breaking strength compared to SENSE.

Why Choose UltraSpod for Spodding?

During testing, the 25lb breaking strength was determined to be the optimal balance. It provides:

1. Durability: The thicker diameter ensures the line withstands frequent impacts with the spool clip during spodding without breaking.
2. Casting Performance: Despite its higher strength, UltraSpod remains thin enough to allow bait rockets to reach maximum distances during casting.

This combination of strength and slim profile inspired the name "UltraSpod" – representing a line that’s both tough and efficient.

Key Benefits of UltraSpod:

• 8-Fiber Braid: The dense weave ensures smooth, reliable performance and exceptional durability.
• Floating Design: Like SENSE, UltraSpod is a floating line, perfect for spodding applications.
• Balanced Properties: Strong enough to handle intense impacts, yet thin enough for long-distance spodding.
