FBM: Floating Braided Mainline.

Katran's innovative 8-strand floating braid in a camouflage colour. It is designed for waters with dense vegetation: it rests smoothly on top of the weed instead of sinking into it, which helps reduce tangling on the retrieve. It is ideal for boat fishing, because the thin diameter lets you spool more line onto the reel for very long-distance fishing. High tensile strength and excellent abrasion resistance come from the dense fibre weave.
