Features

This is the best, most versatile line.

Its best feature is its stretch capacity. This elasticity reduces the risk of breaking and unhooking by absorbing aggressive movements during the fight.

Your line can lose resistance over time and with use and exposure to the sun. Always check its condition at the end of each fishing season.

Why use this line?

This is the pulling force needed to break the line. Note that breaking strain and weight are two different things.

A 10 kg fish has a force of just a few kilos in the water if it's still or not very active. However, the same fish can put a greater strain on the line than its own weight when the force of its speed of movement during the fight is added. To make their catch, anglers need agility and concentration.

How can you assess breaking strain by line weight?

It is expressed in hundredths of a millimetre. This means a 35/100 line is a line with a diameter of 0.35 mm. The greater the diameter, the greater the line's breaking strain. However, this will make it less discreet and flexible.

Reducing the line diameter allows you to increase the casting distance and get more length in your reel.

How to assess the line's diameter?

Step 1: Open the pick-up then attach the line to the spool with a simple double knot.

Step 2: after closing the pick-up, turn the crank to wind the line while keeping it tight in a cloth. We recommend you place the spool in a tub of water to reduce the risk of kinking.

Step 3: fill the spool by stopping 1 to 2 mm before the end of the upper lip of the spool of your reel, then cut the thread.

How should you fill your reel?

If you wish to use a braid on the main line, you can save some by attaching a few metres of line (backing) before installing the braid. For example, on a spool with a 500 m capacity, you can add 200 m of line and 300 m of braid, attaching them together with a knot.

This optimizes the filling of the spool. This rig also prevents the braid from rotating inside the spool.
