説明

There is a moment every angler knows. The line goes taut. The rod bends. And in that instant, everything — the hours of waiting, the sunburn, the early alarm — is justified or destroyed by what happens next. If the line holds, you land the fish of a lifetime. If it doesn't, you spend the rest of the year wondering what was on the other end. The Leviathan was built for that moment.

This is a 16-strand PE (polyethylene) braided line manufactured in Japan using the same ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers trusted by commercial longline fleets. Each strand is individually tensioned during the braiding process — a technique that costs more in machine time but produces a rounder, smoother line with 30% less friction through the guides. The result is casting distance that surprises even seasoned tournament anglers, and knot strength that approaches 95% of the line's rated breaking strength.

We offer The Leviathan in lengths from 300 meters to 1500 meters because we know that different fisheries demand different quantities. The 300M spool fills a single bass reel perfectly. The 1500M spool is for the offshore angler who fills a 50W reel and still has enough backing for a second setup. Available in multicolor metered markings (every 10 meters) for precise depth control, and in diameters from PE 0.6 to PE 8.0. Saltwater or freshwater — the line does not discriminate. The fish does not care what water it lives in. Neither should your gear.

The ocean does not offer second chances. Fill your reel with a line that understands that.

Key Features

  • ✦ 16-strand Japanese PE construction — rounder profile, smoother casting than 4-strand or 8-strand alternatives
  • ✦ UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) fibers — category-leading tensile strength-to-diameter ratio
  • ✦ Multicolor metered markings every 10 meters for precise trolling depth and jigging control
  • ✦ Available in 300M, 500M, 1000M, and 1500M spool lengths to match any reel capacity
  • ✦ Diameter range PE 0.6 through PE 8.0 — from ultralight freshwater to heavy offshore trolling
  • ✦ Knot strength exceeding 90% of rated breaking strength when tied with FG or PR knot
  • ✦ Saltwater and freshwater rated — UV-resistant coating prevents degradation from sun exposure

Application Scenarios

The Leviathan serves anglers across the entire spectrum of the sport. Freshwater bass anglers running baitcasting setups at PE 1.5-2.0 will notice 15-20% longer casts compared to 8-strand lines — critical when reaching structure that holds the biggest fish. Inshore saltwater anglers targeting snook, redfish, and striped bass at PE 2.0-3.0 benefit from the abrasion resistance against oyster beds and dock pilings. Offshore trolling crews running PE 6.0-8.0 on 50W and 80W reels appreciate the 1500M spool that fills an entire reel in one shot — no backing, no splicing. Vertical jigging specialists rely on the 10-meter color bands to hold precise depth without looking at the fish finder. Even European carp anglers running PE 0.6-1.0 at extreme range will find the casting smoothness transformative. The Leviathan is not one line for one fish. It is the line that makes you confident no matter what bites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a leader with this line?

A: For most applications, yes — a fluorocarbon or monofilament leader is recommended. While The Leviathan has excellent abrasion resistance for a braided line, the low visibility of fluorocarbon is essential for clear-water presentations and toothy species. We recommend 3-6 feet of fluorocarbon leader connected with an FG knot.

Q: How does the 16-strand compare to 8-strand for casting distance?

A: The rounder profile of a 16-strand braid produces measurably less friction through rod guides. In controlled testing, 16-strand PE 1.5 achieves 12-18% greater casting distance than 8-strand of the same diameter when using identical rod, reel, and lure weight. The difference is most pronounced with lighter lures under 15g.

Q: Will the color fade over time?

A: Some color fading is normal with any dyed braided line after extended use and UV exposure. This does not affect the line's strength or performance. The 10-meter color bands remain distinguishable for approximately 40-60 fishing days under typical conditions.

Q: Can I use this for surf casting?

A: Absolutely. The 16-strand construction and smooth profile make The Leviathan excellent for surf casting, where maximum distance is critical. For surf applications, we recommend PE 2.0-3.0 paired with a shock leader to absorb the force of a power cast with heavy sinkers.

Q: How should I spool this line onto my reel?

A: Always spool braided line under tension — loose spooling causes wind knots and reduces casting distance. Use a line spooler or have a partner hold the spool with a pencil through the center while applying moderate pressure. For baitcasting reels, fill to approximately 1/8 inch below the spool rim. For spinning reels, stop at the bevel where the spool lip angles inward.

Great line — spool with proper tension!

Excellent line once properly spooled. First attempt I didn't use enough tension and got a minor wind knot — user error, not a product flaw. Re-spooled with proper tension and it's been flawless through 6 trips. The PE 4.0 handled a 40lb amberjack without breaking. Solid value for the price.

Perfect for my surfcasting setup

I run PE 2.0 on a 12ft surf rod and need maximum distance. The Leviathan added about 20 yards to my cast compared to 8-strand line. The smooth finish means it doesn't chew up my guides. Been using it 3x weekly for two months with zero fraying. Very impressed.

Solid line, color fades a bit in tropical sun

Used PE 3.0 for a 3-day offshore trip targeting yellowfin tuna. Line performed flawlessly — no wind knots, no breakoffs, smooth through the guides even under heavy drag. The color metering is very helpful for trolling depth. Knocked one star because the bright colors faded after about 30 hours of tropical sun exposure. Strength wasn't affected though.

Japanese quality that competes with premium brands

I've been using Japanese domestic market PE lines for offshore jigging for years. The Leviathan at PE 5.0 holds its own against lines costing twice as much. The color metering is precise — I can hold depth within 2 meters at 80m depth. Spooled two 50W reels and still have line left on the 1500M spool.

The casting distance is real — not marketing hype

I'm a tournament bass angler and I've tried every braid on the market. Switched to The Leviathan PE 1.5 on my baitcaster and immediately gained 15 yards of casting distance on a 3/8oz jig. The 16-strand round profile genuinely makes that much difference through the guides. Landed a 7.2lb largemouth on 20lb test with zero line issues.
