Fishing is a sport that is constantly evolving, from rods that are lighter and stronger, to reels that have lightning fast retrieve speeds and more wear resistant components, to lures that have the appearance of bleeding gills and sponges inside soft plastics that hold scent cast after cast. All of these advancements are amazing and the tackle and lure makers should be commended for them; none however will help you put a single fish in the boat if you don't have line that's up to the task! That's where WonderBraid comes in, over the past four years First Light Tackle has been testing and giving feedback in order to develop a braided fishing line that could do it all. The result of this is WonderBraid!
A superior evenly wound braid that spools and casts smooth, it has passed the test of landing HUGE snook from around the bridges of Fort Pierce and Stuart, Florida to casting lightweight lures and soft plastics to redfish and trout on the flats. WonderBraid is only available in pink (light red for the insecure angler). The reason for this goes back to the inspiration for the name, "one braid" that can do it all; since pink is hi-vis above the water and very lo-vis under the water it was the best all around color choice. WonderBraid is wound very tight, this means it is more resistant to digging in to itself on your spool (a common cause of wind knots). WonderBraid has no "break-in period" so you can count on it casting perfectly from the day you spool it on your favorite reel!
We at Treasure Coast Tackle use everything we sell, this is why the WonderBraid article has taken a little while to post. We wanted to test it ourselves under the bridges, around structure, on big fish and on the flats in windy conditions. It pulled our big snook from around pilings and cast perfectly into a 15 mph wind on the flats.
We can say without a doubt that you will not find a braided fishing line on the market that performs as well as WonderBraid for the price ($12.50/150yd spool). A braid that performs like a high end superline, at a price every angler can afford, one braid....WonderBraid! WonderBraid is available in 12, 20, 30 and 50lb spools at Treasure Coast Tackle.

TIP: To help eliminate wind knots on any braid, make sure to close the bail by hand and give a little tug on the line. This will ensure you don't have a loop sticking up on your spool for line to snag on when you make your next cast causing a knot!
