When it comes to chasing the biggest, hardest-fighting fish, you need a line that won’t back down. That’s where 100-pound braided fishing line shines. Built for strength without the bulk, this type of braid is made to handle serious abuse—from big bites in freshwater to heavy-hitters offshore.

Unlike traditional mono or fluoro of the same strength, 100 lb braid stays compact and easy to manage, offering anglers more line capacity and better control. Whether you're deep dropping, pulling fish out of thick structure, or making long casts, this heavy-duty braid gives you the muscle and responsiveness you need to get the job done.

Best Uses for 100 LB Braided Line

Freshwater Applications

• Targeting Trophy Catfish
  When pursuing massive catfish in deep rivers or reservoirs, a 100-pound braid provides the necessary strength to handle prolonged battles and the abrasion resistance to withstand rough underwater structures.​

• Heavy-Duty Muskie Fishing
  Muskies are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Using a 100-pound braid allows anglers to cast large lures and ensures that the line can endure the stress of muskie fishing, especially in areas with heavy cover.​

Saltwater Applications

• Big Game Offshore Fishing (Marlin, Tuna, Shark)
  Offshore anglers targeting formidable species such as marlin, tuna, or sharks require a line that can withstand extreme forces. A 100-pound braid offers the tensile strength needed for these battles, along with a thinner diameter that allows for increased line capacity on big game reels.​

• Deep Dropping and Bottom Fishing
  When fishing deep offshore structures or reefs, a 100-pound braid provides the sensitivity to detect subtle bites at great depths and the strength to haul heavy fish from the ocean floor.​

Sunline offers high-performance braided lines in a 100-pound test, each designed to meet the demands of serious anglers.​

Xplasma Asegai Braid

Why It Stands Out:

Featuring Sunline’s proprietary Xplasma technology, this 8-strand braid offers enhanced slickness, abrasion resistance, and water repellency. Its smooth surface reduces friction, resulting in longer casting distances and improved handling.

Available Colors:

• Dark Green

• Light Green

Spool Lengths:

• 165 yards

• 330 Yards

• 600 Yards

• 1000 yards

Siglon PEx8

Why It Stands Out:

This Japanese-made 8-strand PE braid is known for its tight weave, high sensitivity, and low color bleed. It offers an excellent balance of strength and diameter, making it suitable for various fishing techniques.

Available Colors:

• Dark Green

• Orange

• White

Spool Lengths:

• 165 yards

• 1980 yards

Choosing the Right 100 LB Braided Line for Your Needs

When selecting a 100-pound test braided line, consider the following factors:

• Fishing Environment: For offshore big game fishing, a braid with enhanced water repellency and abrasion resistance, like the Xplasma Asegai Braid, is ideal. Its advanced coating ensures durability in harsh saltwater conditions.​
  

• Target Species & Techniques: If you're targeting large pelagic species or engaging in deep dropping techniques, the Siglon PEx8 offers the sensitivity and strength required for detecting bites at depth and battling powerful fish.​
  

• Line Visibility Preferences: High-visibility colors, such as the Siglon PEx8 in Orange or White, assist in tracking line movement and detecting subtle bites, especially in varied light conditions. Conversely, the Dark Green option provides a stealthier approach in clear water scenarios.​
  

• Spool Length & Capacity: For extended offshore trips or when targeting species known for long runs, opting for larger spool lengths, like the 1980-yard spool of Siglon PEx8, ensures you have ample line capacity. For more specialized applications or when using smaller reels, the 165-yard spool of Xplasma Asegai Braid may be more appropriate.​
  

Final Thoughts

A 100-pound test braided fishing line is an indispensable tool for anglers pursuing large, hard-fighting species in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Whether you're battling trophy catfish in murky rivers or wrestling marlin in the open ocean, the strength, sensitivity, and durability of a quality 100-pound braid provide a significant advantage.​
