[ICAST 2025] Best New Fishing Line of ICAST – PowerPro Max-8

PowerPro has won Best of Category for Fishing Line in the ICAST 2025 New Product Showcase with the new PowerPro Max-8 braided fishing line. This is a new high-performance braided fishing line designed for offshore anglers looking for a rugged and smooth casting braided line that offers superior control while offshore. Built with an 8-carrier Spectra HT fiber construction, the new Max-8 cuts through the water, reducing drag and scope in the line when used for vertical jigging, trolling, and casting applications. This new construction makes it 25% thinner than comparable lines, giving anglers increased line capacity without sacrificing line strength. Made with Enhanced Body Technology (EBT) engineering, each fiber is infused with resin, making a smoother, rounder, and more durable line. PowerPro Max-8 is available in the line test ratings of: 30lb, 40lb, 50lb, 65lb, 80lb, and 100lb. It has two color options, 4-color and white, and comes in spool lengths of 333yds, 500yds, 1500yds, and 3000yds for all line tests. MSRP ranges from $84.99 – $999.99 (White) and $99.99 – $1119.99 (4-Color), depending on line test and length.
