Berkley Forward / 150 m

The Fused Line Built for Long-Range Accuracy

The Berkley Forward is a fused line that sits within the braid category but is technically distinct from conventional braid. Where standard braid is made from many fine strands woven together, a fused line has those strands thermally bonded. The Berkley Forward takes this Berkley-exclusive construction a step further by adding a coating that increases suppleness. This combination, alongside several other specific properties, makes it well suited to long-range, accurate casting.

A Higher Sink Rate

The Berkley Forward was developed in America for finesse fishing for largemouth bass using forward-facing sonar technology on fish finders. In that application, getting relatively small, light lures precisely on target at distance is critical, and the line's properties support exactly that. Beyond casting performance, it also offers a higher sink rate than conventional braid, which gets your lure down to the fish more quickly. That faster sink rate comes in part from the very fine diameter and from a coating that holds up for a long time and does not absorb water. As a result, the line stays round and thin for longer, keeping water resistance low.

Outstanding Sensitivity

Because the Berkley Forward is a fused line, the individual fine strands lie parallel rather than crossing over each other as they would in conventional braid. That subtle but significant difference creates a more direct connection between you and your lure, making even the lightest bite clearly detectable. The higher sink rate contributes to this increased sensitivity as well - less water resistance means less line bow and a still more direct contact.

Top Finesse Braid

The Berkley Forward is not limited to forward-facing sonar set-ups. Any angler who places a high value on outstanding casting performance, a fast sink rate and extreme precision will find a great deal to appreciate here. Thanks to its unique construction and the properties that come with it, the Berkley Forward is a top finesse braid in every sense.
