Berkley

Says where the line was made

What this house covers here

A braid, a fluorocarbon, two monofilaments, a light spinning rod and a tackle bag.

Where their listings get specific

The fluorocarbon listing is the only one on its shelf that explains the second property: fluorocarbon sinks and absorbs no water, where nylon floats and swells. Invisibility is what every listing claims; sinking is what actually changes how a leader fishes, and only this one says so.

Two lines name the plant they were made in, in the United States — the only origin statement on any line shelf here.

The rod is the lightest band on its shelf at 1,70 m, 2–7 g, which is the rod that makes trout spoons and micro lures castable at all.

Where they slip

The 1000 m economy spool publishes both a diameter — 0,35 mm / 0.014 in — and a breaking strain, and then publishes it twice with two different numbers: 17 lb / 7,7 kg in the title, 8.5 kg / 18 lb in the features.

And the braid, described more fully than any other here, gives neither a diameter nor a strength anywhere in that description.
