Worst braid I've ever seen11lb 600yrd spool. This braid is so weak you can't even tie fluorocarbon to it. I've tried 3 different knots no luck. I can grab this braid and snap it with very little effort. I only use sunline FC sniper fluorocarbon for tournaments and love it , thought this line would be good i was wrong $81.99 down the drain. Going back to the tried and true PowerPro braid.
horrible experience with 11-pound almightnot sure about any of the other tests but the 11-lb almight pink is the single worst braid i've ever tried (and i've tried a lot of them). the line is incredibly thin but i have broken the line three times while simply cinching down a knot and don't even feel like i'm pulling that hard. you also have to be careful because the line slips with some knots. i like the sunline fluoros and just assumed the sunline braids would be good but this is the worst braid i've tried, followed only by sunline's siglon (separate review)
Be WarnedI bought the 600 yard, 16lb line and spooled 3 spinning reels with it and went to prefish a tournament at Lake Havasu, and I am very glad the issues I experienced were BEFORE the tournament... In a span of two days I experienced the following:
- right after spooling my first reel, I was tying my leader (8lb floro) with an Alberto knot, and as I went to pull the knot tight the braid line right ABOVE the knot broke... I didn't really think anything of it, perhaps I somehow damaged the line. I retied with no issue.
- on my second reel, as I was tying my Alberto knot, it slipped twice – but I knew the knot would work because I had just tied it. This line diameter is MUCH smaller (and smoother) than the braid line I had before, so I considered that growing pains of getting used to the new line. I took my time on the third attempt and had no issues.
- my third reel had no issues while spooling or with the leader knot.
I was casting a 1/4 oz. underspin and all seemed to be going well. My casts were smooth and a bit further than with my previous braid. After about 2 hours of casting, I went to make a cast and the line broke below the leader knot – the knot did not fail, it was the braid. I run about a 10 foot floro leader so the odds of the line getting damaged that high up the line are very slim. I retied with an Alberto knot which seemed successful and continued fishing. After another 30 minutes or so, the knot failed. OK… retied with a double uni knot because something about my Alberto was not working. Uni knot worked and I fished the rest of the day with no issues on this reel. (only 2 small fish caught, about 1.5lbs each)
On one of my other reels, I had a small jerkbait that also weighed ¼ oz. I was casting that for about 30 minutes and I decided to just check my knot, and it pulled right apart! Retied with a double Uni and as I was casting, the line broke above the knot AGAIN. Thankfully, my lure was floating so I was able to retrieve this one… After that I stripped all 3 reels and spooled new braid.
Talking with some guys who were also in that tournament, they also fish this line and love it and have had no issues... Maybe I got a bad batch? Bad Quality Control? I don’t know, but I was not happy.
After trying everything it’s the best PE...this line is really something else, I have tried dozens of others and this actually does FEEL noticeably different. Strong current, Wind, it literally doesn’t matter you are WIRED to your bait with barely any bow in the line no matter what. Now yes due to how thin and hard the line is it bites through the monk when tying leader knots so FG is really your only option but I found that just getting a micro swivel and tying to that with 1.5ftish of leader is perfect cuz it won’t go through your guides and if you tie the braid to the swivel with a polymer not that is going to be stronger than any other leader connection. Also when spoiling onto the reel put the line spool in a bucket of water!!! Label up so it doesn’t twist!!! and it will stay buoyant and be packed on tight. Now this is a 5x strand and technically 4x because 4 strands are wrapped around the 5th so it isn’t super smooth, makes minor noise when coming through the guides under tension but overall it doesn’t make a difference and with it being made like this each strand is beefier so ultimately your getting the best “abrasion resistance” out of the comparable PE lines. Finally I mainly used the 22lb for casting spoons 16lb for ultralight, but all the others under 13lb do get insanely thin and that’s what your paying for at that level, don’t buy one of the thinnest lines money can buy if strength is what you want… go buy power pro or something then lol
Very disappointingI’ve had more breakage issues with the 7# Almight than I ever thought possible. I have used Sunline SX1 in 8# and other small-diameter braided lines like D Braid and 832 for years with no issues. I dumped the rest of the Almight — I just cannot deal with the constant breakage issues. I just hope Sunline never stops making the SX1!
WIND KNOTSSave your breath this crap makes wind knots like crazy biggest waste of money, I’d rather fish power pro.
Good lineLol I have no idea what everyone is doing to break their line. I fish saltwater and finessed some nice sized fish (jacks, snook, gator trouts, etc) in and never had a problem. Either use uni/uni knot or FG knot. People need to tune their drag instead trying to horse fish in. I use the 10lb test or PE 0.4. It's worth it.
TrashI have bought 3 spools of this stuff one being the 600 yard 16lb and two of the fillers in 13 and I'm here to say it is absolute trash. It is crazy how easy this stuff breaks when tying leaders. I've tried everything to make it not break at he connections. Huge fail.
WeakUsed the 18.5 line for mid strolling and had a lot of issues. Had the line break or come undone at the braid fluoro connection knot. Never had these issues before and tie good knots. Breaks like sewing thread would not recommend.
Excellent qualityThese other folks are tying bad knots or not using their drag not sure. I’ve landed several fish over 4+lb in the last few months fishing a lake with a ton of timber and thick grass with this line in 18.5lb and I have drug fish over logs and everything and have had 0 issues to mention. It’s Sunline quality at its best. It sinks very well too almost identical sink rate as fluoro. 10/10 would recommend this line.
Breaks so easy.I totally bought into the hype and gave it an honest go. Tried 2 different spools thinking the first was just a bad spool, which happens. This line would break so easy. Lost too many good fish and lures. Even tying leaders on was brutal. At times it would take 2 or 3 tries to get a knot that wouldn’t break. You couldn’t pay me to use this line again. I’ll stick with PowerPro.
killing it with the 18.5lb stuff. hotpinkI bought this stuff thinking I could get better performance with bottom contact stuff since it is supposed to sink better. it does. I havent broken off yet, and I have landed a few biggies. I am on my second year with the same spool. the pink is fading, but I didnt expect much in that department. the line is THIN!.. and entire spool ran out on me when I was spooling up a Vanford 2500. It just came to the end! I had to take it off by putting it on a spare reel, and added much much more inexpensive mono backer to make up the diff. it is still on the low side!! I am waiting until the fade is so bad, I am compelled to reverse the spool. I will add more backer then. I typically use an Alberto knot to tie my leaders, but the FG holds great as well. my leader is 10lb Daiwa flouro leader.
Go by line diameterIf you are used to using the common US market braids use line diameters, go with the 16lb and up. I would say 13lb - 16lb should be the absolute lightest you should go, it is equivalent to us market 6lb- 8lb rating.
Don’t let these reviews scare youThis braid in the 18 and 22 pound sizes are in comparison to regular braids in 10 to 15 pound sizes. I use the 22LB for a minnow, shakey
Heads, and wacky rigs, and the 18LB for light drop shots and Ned rigs.
Good but have to know what you're gettingit's a good braid, very slick and sensitivity is good. I see all the bad reviews and this is because this is a braid made in JDM PE, which isn't your usual rating system that we Americans are used to. It is very VERY thin in comparison to most braids you may be used to. Also these PE braids are a little more 'true' to the weigh rating whereas most other braids marketed for American market are actually a little stronger than their labels for a little leeway. It does sink though but definitely if you are used to one weight I would recommend going the next size up in this one for this one. That being said I've enjoyed it for my STRICTLY finesse applications. Knot strength has actually been pretty decent for me too
Good braid for different reason.Got it in the pink 10lb. It has nice visibility and you can honestly get good use out of it if you want to practice or learn how to tie new knots. Simply tie your preferred knot and tighten and you’re back to square one! Rinse and repeat. There’s plenty of line in the spool.
Honestly this line sucks. It’s given me PTSD for using braid. I gave it tons of chances and literally lost lures (3) just simply casting sometimes. I should’ve learned my lesson the first time, but I’m a masochist it seems.. Nothing is more demoralizing than this braid. If you really like to play it risky, and live life on the edge you would still need to think twice before spooling this garbage. This is for the real adrenaline junkies who not only want to battle the fish, but battle luck and ultimately a poor decision.
My recommendation is if you normally fish the 10lb, just buy the strongest rating.
trash line and no customer supportI fish 7lb d-Braid for 4 year on pro tournament in Canada and I love it! I was pump when I saw the new almight. Bought 3 7 pound spool for my finesse application, and every time I set the hook on a fish it broke. I never see something like that... I use light gear and I always use 6-7 pounds test for my finesse application and I never have this type of problem. I decide to check the line with my hand. Every time I pull the line with my hands, it broke with ease. I send an Email with a video of me braking the line with my hand to sunline and they respond to me : just use heavier line.... What a joke. Don't lose your money on this
Kept breakingDone with this stuff too. Bought the 7lb and it's garbage, snaps at connection knot just about every cast. Big fail Sunline.
Breaks too EasilyBought the braid, ... hoping it would work well with wacky worm, skipping cover claw Jackalls, ... lost 4 fish in a row. Line broke at knots and inbetween. I used the 10 pound test and was very disappointed. Also it is so thin, ... that it is difficult to see and tie knots, especially at dusk and at night. That said, ...If ... I buy again I would buy the 20 pound just to be able to see it better. I hope that Sunline will revisit this product and correct the weakness, ... it had great potential.
Not D braid, but not TRASHI’ve used the 13lb and 11lb both daily for the last 2 months and this it what I’d say about it. Starts off great but after the color starts to fade it looses some abrasion resistance at the FG knot to where you have to retie it after a day of fishing. Did my D braid last longer… yes but almost 2 months of daily use isn’t bad at all!! From my experiences casting off stuff is user error or poor knots
Will break at connection knot!If you tie a leader, it will break at the connection knot within a few cast. It cuts into your flouro or mono too easily. Lost 2 expensive lures on the cast.
FlimsyLine breaks every which way from knot tying, hooksets, and just being able to pull it apart with your hands. Don't waste your money.
TrashI love sunline, but this product is trash. I've never broke braid in my spinning rod on the hookset, but I have with this twice. That is when I'm not having it break while tying my braid to leader knot. Don't buy this product
JunkI would not recommend this line at all. It cost me a FM110 on the beach the other day from a mystery break off mid cast 6 to 8’ above my connection knot. Sunline needs to bring back Defier D-brad and remove Almight from the market.
Well…..Looks 10/10
Castability 100/10
Abrasion resistance -45/10
I gave the 7 and 16 lb 2 outings and lost an unfortunate amount of lures and fish. I’ve never had a bluegill break me off until today. This line casts amazingly but that’s all it has going. Please don’t waste your time on this.
The jury is still out, but not looking goodWas a Power Pro user for years and it did the job. Switched to Defier and loved it but only got to use it for a short time sadly. Spooled up my ned setup with 13lb Almight over the weekend since it was time for new line. First cast, the leader came clean off. No clue if it sliced off at the knot or the knot unraveled. Never in however many years of tying braid to fluoro leader have I tied a bad knot and had this happen, so it's extremely unlike this was a result of my knot. Retied and continued fishing and caught a number of fish without issue. The couple times I got snagged, the breakoff point between the 13lb Almight and 7lb Sniper was always at the leader to braid connection and not at the leader to hook or a random fray somewhere along the leader, so it required tying yet another leader which is a bit frustrating. Given how much thinner and limper this 13lb line is relative to 10lb Power Pro, it's a bit disappointing that it didn't really seem to cast any better either.
Disappointed so far and may just go back to 10lb Power Pro on my ned and 15lb on my other spinning setups once the Defier on them goes bad. I have a spool of 7lb Almight on the way to test on an UL setup as that's another application where sinking braid would be helpful. Fingers crossed it'll be a better experience.
break from tying knotDisappointed with this line, was really looking forward to using this for something more finesse. I have used power pro 10lb before and that line rarely or never fails when tying knots. Even after tying FG knot the line is so thin it will cut into it self than become so thin that it will snap. I hope Sunline can look into this and make some changes. Despite the issues the line does cast good.
It’s no defier!I have had good experiences with both the defier d braid and the overwatch. I can’t say the same about the almight. Perhaps I got a bad batch but it wind knots and breaks way too much. Also it’s not quiet in the guides. If I could get my money back I would. I had the 11# pink. Already in the trash. Going back to daiwa j-braid grand.
Pretty GoodDoesn't seem to sink much faster at all thank PP SSV2 or Seguar Smackdown, but the 18.5 lb fishes great. I like the color, but it doesn't show up quite as well for me under low light as bright yellow/green lines. Pretty loud on NRX+ recoil guides, but not unbearable - it is much smoother than other ~4 carrier braids that I have used.
Had hopes were dashedNot a fan. I wanted to like it, but I pretty much hate it. I have been using this for BFS and one UL spinner. Started with the 7.2lb and it would break off just pulling my hook from the keeper. Broke off on tiny fish. Jumped to the 11lb thinking maybe the 7 was just too light. Out urban pond fishing today and it broke off three times. One was a large fish the others were not. I’m done with it. Too expensive to throw away so it may get thrown on some of my kids perch jerking rods, but definitely not on anything that might catch bigger than a 6oz fish.
