Yes 12 ply, it's strong and super thin for its line class. 
Great line if you can afford it.

Its silky smooth as its 12ply compared to Sunline and Varivas which are 8 PLY. Its has the thinest diameter for each PE class also.

Deffinately up there with the Sunline Monster Battle and YGK Full Drag.
I'm not a Varivas fan.

When i fished with it a couple years ago before it came out i found it very stiff.... and had it break a coulpe times but we were fishing it in PE5

Still prefer Varivas Casting PE for top water fishing
