What it is

Classic says it blends "two high-quality nylon types for greater stability," reinforced with high-tensile poly "to enhance action and speed," around a CoreTech core that "delivers excellent loop stability and tip weight." Classic also says its smaller outer diameter makes it "faster and easier to control."
