Is 50 feet enough line for kite flying?

Only for low-altitude or display flying. Most single-line kite fliers use 200 to 500 feet, so buy multiple spools or a longer length if you plan to fly high.

Is 200 lb line too strong for a small kite?

Strength is not the problem; weight and drag are. 200 lb Spectra is thin for its strength, but on a small light-wind kite a lighter line still flies better.

How do I tie Spectra line so it does not slip?

Use a knot suited to slick line, such as a doubled fisherman's or a figure-eight with extra turns, and leave a long tail. Check knots after the first flights.

Does this line stretch?

Very little. Spectra is a low-stretch fiber, which is why it is used for steady control and line laundry, but it also means shock loads hit the kite and your hands directly.

A single 50-foot spool of 200 lb braided Spectra line. A winder, kite and gloves are not included.

Kite line pricing is set by individual kite shops and moves little. Watch for end-of-season sales at kite retailers rather than expecting frequent discounts.

Our take on the Laser Pro Gold 200 lb Spectra Line

The Laser Pro Gold 200 lb Spectra Line is a 50-foot spool of braided Spectra kite line rated at 200 lb, made in the United States. Spectra is a low-stretch, high-strength polyethylene fiber, so this line holds tension well for single-line kites and light line laundry. It is a specialty item sold by kite shops rather than a mass-market product, so stock and pricing vary by store.
