TSURINOYA EX8 100% Fluorocarbon Fishing Line | 35m
Couldn't load pickup availability
The TSURINOYA EX8 is a 100% fluorocarbon fishing line supplied in a 35m spool for use as leader material or fishing line where the properties of fluorocarbon are preferred.
The dense fluorocarbon construction provides a sinking line with low stretch and abrasion resistance, making it particularly suited to lure fishing, leader setups and fishing around structure. The supplier also describes EX8 as suitable for use with both spinning and baitcasting tackle.
Key Features
- 100% fluorocarbon construction
- 35m spool length
- Low underwater visibility
- Sinking line
- Low-stretch characteristics
- Supplier-stated high abrasion resistance
- Designed for improved bite detection and line control
- Suitable for leader and mainline applications
- Suitable for spinning and baitcasting tackle
100% Fluorocarbon Construction
Unlike fluorocarbon-coated nylon lines, EX8 is specified by the supplier as 100% fluorocarbon.
Fluorocarbon has a refractive index closer to water than conventional nylon monofilament, giving it relatively low visibility underwater. This makes it particularly useful for leader applications where a less-visible connection between the mainline and lure or bait is desirable.
Sinking Line
Fluorocarbon is denser than conventional nylon monofilament and naturally sinks in water.
This characteristic makes EX8 suitable for presentations where the leader or line needs to follow a lure or bait down through the water column rather than remaining highly buoyant near the surface.
Low-Stretch Characteristics
EX8 is designed with relatively low stretch compared with conventional nylon monofilament.
Reduced stretch can provide more direct feedback through the line, assisting with:
- Bite detection
- Lure control
- Contact with the bottom
- Feeling changes in structure
- Hook-setting response
Abrasion Resistance
The supplier describes EX8 as highly abrasion resistant, making it suitable for fishing around environments where leader material may contact harder surfaces.
This can include:
- Rocks
- Reef
- Timber and snags
- Pylons
- Oyster-covered structure
- Other submerged structure
Line should still be inspected regularly for abrasion or damage and replaced when required.
Suitable Fishing Applications
Depending on the selected breaking strain and complete tackle setup, EX8 can be used for:
- Bream
- Whiting
- Flathead
- Tailor
- Trout
- Bass
- Mangrove jack
- Barramundi
- Estuary lure fishing
- Soft plastics
- Hardbody lures
- Freshwater lure fishing
- Reef and structure fishing
- Leader material
- Spinning setups
- Baitcasting setups
Lighter breaking strains can be used for finesse and light-tackle presentations, while heavier options may be better suited to larger fish and fishing around abrasive structure.

Line Rating: The product variants for this line are labelled using the PE line-rating system. PE numbers refer to a standardised line diameter classification and should not be interpreted as a direct breaking-strain rating in kilograms or pounds. Always refer to the corresponding diameter and supplier-stated strength for the selected PE size when choosing line for your fishing setup.
