Built for NZ Trout Rivers and Lakes

Target New Zealand trout with a line that is thin, strong, and easy to cast.  This 0.185mm 8lb green fishing line is designed for rivers, streams, and lake edges where clear water and wary fish demand a subtle presentation.  It suits spoons, spinners, and soft baits, giving you smooth casting and reliable hook-ups.

The hybrid nylon and fluorocarbon construction offers a balance of strength, abrasion resistance, and lower visibility under water.  The thin 0.185mm diameter lets your lures run naturally in current while still providing enough power to handle hard-fighting rainbow and brown trout.  Because the line has low stretch, you can feel hits and changes in lure action more easily, even in fast runs.

Key Features of this 0.185mm 8lb Green Fishing Line

  • Ideal for NZ trout fishing in rivers, streams, and lake margins.
  • 0.185mm thin diameter for long, smooth casts with light spoon lures and spinners.
  • 8lb (3.6kg) breaking strain – strong enough for larger trout while keeping lure action lively.
  • Nylon + fluorocarbon blend improves strength, abrasion resistance, and underwater stealth.
  • Low-stretch design gives better sensitivity and helps with solid hook sets.
  • High-visibility green colour that is easy to track above water yet subtle below the surface.
  • 500m bulk spool provides enough line for several reel fills or respools before a trip.

Benefits for Kiwi Anglers

  1. Improves bite rates in clear NZ rivers by reducing line visibility near the lure.

  3. Handles contact with rocks, gravel beds, and submerged structure common in local streams.
  4. Offers a good balance of finesse and stopping power for both small stream trout and larger fish in bigger water.

Q & A – Common Questions About This Fishing Line

Is 0.185mm line good for trout fishing in New Zealand?

Yes. The thin 0.185mm diameter is ideal for New Zealand trout because it offers smooth casting and low visibility in clear rivers and streams.  It helps spoons and spinners run naturally while still providing enough strength to land larger trout.

Is 8lb too strong for trout?

No. 8lb is a great all-round strength for NZ trout fishing.  It stays light enough for finesse lure action, yet gives you the power needed for bigger fish or fast, rocky river currents.
Many experienced NZ anglers use 6–8lb for spoons and spinners.

Will the green colour spook trout?

Green line blends well with typical NZ water colours, including weed beds and clear river tones.  Above water you can see it easily, but underwater it remains subtle, especially with the nylon–fluorocarbon blend reducing visibility.

Can I use this line with spoon lures?

Definitely. The thin diameter and low-stretch design make it perfect for 5–12g spoon lures.  It casts far, tracks well in current, and offers excellent sensitivity to help detect bites.

Is this line suitable for both rivers and lakes?

Yes. It performs well in shallow, clear rivers and deeper lake edges.  In lakes, it helps you reach longer distances when casting from shore, and the abrasion resistance helps around rocks and submerged timber.

How much line will I need for my reel?

Most 1000–2000 size spinning reels used for trout will take around 100–150m of this line.  A 500m spool gives you multiple full refills, making it excellent value for regular anglers.

What knots work best with this hybrid line?

Improved clinch knots, Uni knots, and loop knots work well with this nylon–fluorocarbon blend.  The line ties cleanly and cinches down smoothly without slipping.

Does the line handle abrasion from NZ river rocks?

Yes. The fluorocarbon component increases abrasion resistance, helping prevent damage when the line rubs against rocks, gravel, or structure during a fight.
