Extra capacity and durability when beach current or faster fish call for it.
Beach and fast-predator situations can need more casting weight or more room for long runs than a standard inshore fill.
Why use it?

When to use it

Size, weight, or test

Start with the recommended range and re-tie whenever abrasion appears.
Fine-tune the setup
