Setup, Compatibility & Care
When setting up the Kinetic Distance Mainline, it is recommended to use a shock leader if you are casting heavy leads at maximum power, as braided lines have no elastic shock absorption. Because of the slick nature of Dyneema, ensure you use braid-friendly knots such as the Palomar or a specialized braid knot to prevent slippage. When winding the line onto your reel for the first time, keep the line under tension to ensure an even lay, which prevents line dig-in. To maintain the line's longevity, rinse it with fresh water after fishing in silty or abrasive environments and store your reels out of direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation.
