Advantages of Using our Blacktail Fishing Trace:

• Protection Against Abrasion: Blacktail often inhabit rocky areas. A sturdy, abrasion-resistant trace, like fluorocarbon or heavier nylon, prevents line damage from sharp rocks or the fish's teeth.
• Better Hook-Up Rates: Our strong yet thin trace line is less visible in clear waters. This improves the chances of hooking line-shy fish.
• Optimal Rig Presentation: The stiffness of our Trace Material helps maintain the bait’s presentation, reducing the risk of tangling with the main line or sinker trace.
