What is braided PE line?
Short answer
PE stands for polyethylene, the fibre braided line is made from, and the strand count - four, eight or twelve in the listings we see - describes how many fibre bundles are braided together.
In detail
It is a construction variable rather than a quality grade: more strands change how the line feels and how it behaves in the guides, and manufacturers publish their own explanations of the difference.
