Australian-made performance braid
From fibre to finished line
From New Zealand beginnings to Australian manufacturing: watch how Tasline braid is designed, braided, tested and spooled. This is the whole story, from raw fibre to the spool in your hands.
Tasline Elite was designed and manufactured by Tasman Textile Technologies Ltd on the rugged coastlines of New Zealand, where anglers demand tackle that performs in the harshest conditions. Over 30 years of braiding experience, together with a proprietary after-braiding process, made Tasline Elite one of the best braided fishing lines available.
In 2020, all of Tasline's equipment and processes moved to Melbourne, where manufacturing continues today. Every spool is precision-engineered on Herzog braiding machines to deliver a slimmer diameter, smoother performance and independently tested breaking strain, giving anglers more line on the reel and more confidence on the water.

TECHNOLOGY / INSIDE THE FACTORY
01
Herzog braiders from Germany — the world standard for precision weaving. All Tasline Elite lines from 8lb to 100lb are braided as true 8-strand.
02
The process developed over 30+ years in the braiding industry that makes Tasline exceptionally thin for its breaking strain.
03
Short, controlled runs with testing of every small batch — you can be assured you're buying the best braid available.
04
Independent third-party tests verify the diameter to breaking strain relationship. Actual average break published for every class.
05
Spools are inspected and packed before they ship — attention to detail at every step.
06
Made in Carrum Downs, Victoria since 2020 — not rebadged import stock. Local manufacturing means local accountability.
