Cortland Master Braid - Blue

Cortland Master Braid is the most consistently performing super braid, ideal for a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater applications. Implementing Cortland’s Opti-ConTM Technology, gel-spun fibers are woven into a tighter and stronger braid that stacks better on the reel.

Master Braid is treated with FiberTech® protection that bonds to the individual gel-spun fibers, which adds body and improves handling of the line. This super braid excels at strike detection, instantaneous hooksets and longer casts.

ColorLast provides long-lasting color that does not bleed.

Best braid

I like small line diameters for finesse fishing smallmouth. This is by far the most durable line for its rating. Very abrasion resistant and holds color extremely well. Respooled all my reels with Cortland and not looking back!

Fantastic braid

I initially tried Cortland Master Braid after receiving a discount through NY BASS Nation (thank you!). I have continued to use it because it's strong, thin, and very fade-resistant.
