Monofilament Enters The 21st Century!

HI-SEAS is proud to introduce a bold advancement in monofilament fishing line-- White Lightning --a reduced-stretch, glass-clear, micro-thin diameter monofilament with sensitivity that rivals braid without the hassles.
    Why do anglers use braid? In a word--sensitivity. And why are braids more sensitive than old-style nylon lines? They offer a thinner diameter and a very low stretch factor. But braids have drawbacks. They require special knots to prevent them from coming untied. It has a tendency to dig under itself on the reel causing backlashes and tangles, is extremely visible underwater and is considerably more expensive, frequently two to three times the cost of quality monofilament.
   With the introduction of White Lightning HI-SEAS closes the performance gap between mono and braid. You see most monofilament line brands have a stretch factor of 25% or greater and can make it feel like you're fishing with a rubber band between you and your lure or bait. That makes it difficult to feel the subtle pick up of a wary fish and harder to set the hook. The more line you have out the worse it becomes. Most mono has a thicker diameter, which creates more resistance in water further inhibiting sensitivity and robbing you of capacity on your reel.
   HI-SEAS White Lightning is engineered from a totally new copolymer matrix that is incredibly thin, remarkably strong and has a 40% to 60% less stretch than old-style nylon. Its sensitivity rivals braid, but since it is a glass-clear, micro-thin monofilament you avoid the problems associated with braid. It offers incredible knot strength with easy to tie knots. It supple texture lays perfectly on spinning and conventional reels and it flows off smoothly so its casts like a dream.
   White Lightning is perfect for freshwater and saltwater applications. It doesn't matter if you're fishing plastic worms, finesse jigs, surface plugs, vertical jigging or bottom fishing with bait...you'll feel the strike and set the hook with confidence. And if you fish at night you'll love White Lightning because it glows above the water under black lights to making watching the line or tying knots in the dark a breeze.
   White Lightning is the monofilament of the 21 st Century and it's coming to better tackle retailers in 300-yard filler spools in attractive pegboard boxes or in bulk spools. If you can't find it ask your favorite dealer to order it by name. For more information on this and other fine HI-SEAS products go to our Catalog page and download it in PDF format

New GRAND SLAM
Saltwater Line That's Big Fish Tough !

Saltwater is no place for wimpy lines that aren't up to challenging big fish in the most unforgiving environment on earth. That's why HI-SEAS created Grand Slam , a performance driven monofilament that can go one-on-one with any fish, no matter how big, without worrying about line failure. It is available in the five most popular saltwater line colors--clear, smoke blue, green, pink and fluorescent yellow.
    HI-SEAS chemists started with a proven multi-polymer matrix and made it extra tough through the use of a proprietary extrusion process that incorporates laser technology to produce a line that is so tough it's almost abrasion proof! But that's only part of the story. Grand Slam's has incredible impact strength, which means no matter how hard a fish strikes, even when high-speed trolling, you're hooked up and in control! It's moderately soft composition means it lays neatly on spinning or conventional tackle. It has superb knot strength, works well with crimps and swages and provides excellent casting qualities.
   Every yard is computer checked for consistent diameter and breaking strength and each spool is hand checked before leaving the factory so you know you can rely on it to perform as advertised.
   New Grand Slam is available in ¼-pound, 1-pound, 2-pound and 5-pound spools from six to four hundred pound test in your favourite line colors. So the next time you're out, whether its surf casting for stripers, live bait fishing for kings, trolling for trophy billfish or just sinker bouncing for back bay flounder, you owe it to yourself to use the line you can count on no matter how tough the conditions or how long the fight.
   HI-SEAS new premium quality Grand Slam is BIG FISH TOUGH and promises you a level of performance you can rely on when you need it most.

RED DEVIL Ultimate Hi-Vis
So Bright You'll Need Shades!

This is the most incredible high-visibility line in the world--new HI-SEAS Red Devil--and not just because it's the brightest, easiest to see line ever made. We set out to design a totally new trolling line, broke all the rules along the way, and in the process ended up with a product so unique, so packed with performance extras, that our field testers were using it for applications we never dreamed of and loved it!
    Most hi-vis lines are fluorescent yellow, relatively bright and easy to see on sunny days, but under clouds or low-light conditions it can be just as hard to see as regular lines. After months of research and testing we developed the proprietary Red Devil color, which stands out against water and sky regardless of ambient light conditions. It's not just easy to see, it's almost impossible to miss and that's why you buy a hi-vis line in the first place. And because it's a derivative of red it fades quickly below the surface making it hard for fish to see so you get the best of both worlds.
   Yet the color is only part of the reason Red Devil is a bold leap forward in monofilament technology. Its next-generation formulation combines the most expensive co-polymers with silicone, which results in a line that is so soft it feels like silk, yet so abrasion resistant it wears like iron with virtually no memory whatsoever. Run it through your fingers and you'll agree there isn't another line on the market that feels like it, but don't let the softness fool you. This is one of the most abrasion resistant lines ever made! It's wonderful to tie and its knot strength blows the competition away.
   New Red Devil is the finest trolling line you'll ever use whether you're fishing lures or rigged baits for billfish, live bait fishing for kings or slow trolling worm rigs for walleye. Its controlled stretch gives it just the right amount of impact resistance to guard against breakage when a big fish hits while providing a solid hook set. That's what we designed it for, but our field testers liked it so much they began using it for fishing bass in heavy cover, casting swimming baits to stripers and a host of other techniques. Turns out Red Devil is just great line for any technique any time you want a hi-vis line.
   Red Devil is available in ¼, one, two and five pound spools from 6 to 130-pound test. Ask your tackle retailer for it by name. For more information on this and other fine HI-SEAS products go to our Catalog page and download it in PDF format
