Who would have thought a generation ago that the fishing line category would be the scene of some of the most significant technological breakthroughs in the tackle industry? An angler’s choice in fishing line used to boil down to a favorite brand and, perhaps, a few line-test strengths.
No more! Tournament angling has accentuated the importance of line selection. Today successful anglers realize that fishing line is their critical link to their lure – and to the fish! It is the very last place you want to compromise on quality!

In case you missed the details of Manabu Kurita’s 22-pound, five-ounce largemouth bass, caught from Lake Biwa in Japan in July of 2009, 25-pound Toray Super Hard Strong line was Kurita’s line of choice for that world record-tying catch.
Designed for the Japanese angling market, Toray is unquestionably one of the finest fishing line brands to ever hit the angling world. And keep in mind that we are living in a period that may well go down in tackle history as the Golden Age of Line Innovation.
This month is your opportunity to acquire four outstanding Toray lines at Lee’s Global Tackle Connection (www.leesglobaltackle.com). Toray Super Finesse is a super sensitive yet incredibly strong fluorocarbon line of fine diameter and superior performance. Pete Sagartz of Lee’s reports catching 30 smallmouth bass, over three pounds on average, without once having to retie the knot on his 4.5-pound test Toray Super Finesse.
When finesse is your game, no line provides better performance! Toray Hi-Grade Premium Plus is a fluorocarbon similar to the Super Finesse – soft, supple, low stretch and highly sensitive. Available in 8-, 10-, and 12-pound test, it is an extremely versatile line that will provide outstanding performance with bread-and-butter techniques from fishing Senkos and hopping jigs to drawing reaction strikes with crankbaits and jerkbaits.
Toray Super Hard Upgrade’s unique formulation results in a super shock-absorbent line with a bare minimum of stretch. Use it in tough situations. Its no-stretch property allows you to fish a lighter rod with no compromise in hook-setting capability. A red mark appears on the 100-yard mark of the 200-yard red spool for accurate re-spooling measurement.
Toray Super Finesse Braid is a fine-diameter fusion super-line. Top anglers in the U.S. and Japan are using Toray Super Finesse Braid not only in applications where superlines lines shine, but as backing for Toray Super Finesse or Toray Hi Grade Premium Plus (available in 12-, 14-, 16-, and 17-pound test).
“With Super Finesse Braid anchoring my spool, I add only 25 yards of the Toray super premium fluorocarbons,” says Sagartz, a Great Lakes smallmouth specialist. “True, the Toray lines are premium priced, but they last and provide incredible performance -casting distance, sensitivity, abrasion resistance and more — that is hard for anglers to comprehend. Used properly, you can get a whole season’s worth of performance out of a single spool!”
Try these Toray lines, available in limited supply at Lee’s Global Tackle Connection this month. You’ll understand why they are the choice of the world’s most sophisticated anglers – and the choice of the largemouth bass world record holder, too!
