Sunline has been producing braided lines since 1992. Back then, Sunline braided line was only available in the United States for its professional fishing staff. In 2011, this changed with the introduction of a new braided product specifically designed for the North American market for frog fishing and flipping. The FX2 was created specifically for these two power techniques that require a superior quality braided line product. FX2 features include the following: Designed and endorsed by the world's best frog fisherman, Dean Rojas Circular vs. oval shape for easier and longer casts Doesn't dig into the spool 8-strand braid made of smooth PE and PET without coating that wears off More durable coloration.
