Why use this line?
This is the best, most versatile line. It's perfect if you fish in clear areas.
Its best feature is its ability to stretch. This stretch gives it a great feel when battling a carp and reduces the risk of unhooking. It also promotes gentle bridling of the fish.
Your line can lose resistance with time and use. Always check its condition at the end of each fishing season.
How can you assess resistance by line weight?
This corresponds to the pull needed to break the line. For example, if you suspend 10 kg on a 9 kg line, it will break.
That said, a 10 kg line will not necessarily break on a 15 kg fish. Water holds the fish, reducing its weight on the line. However when it pulls on the line it can exert a force greater than its weight and break it.
How to assess the line's diameter?
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 more resistant the line will be to carp, but it also makes it less discreet and flexible.
Reducing the line diameter allows you to increase casting distance and get more length in your reel.
How should you fill your line reel?
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 to the limit leaving a 1 to 2 mm margin, then cut the line. The reel is ready
TIP
If you wish to use a braid on the main line, you can save some by attaching a few metres of line before installing the braid. For example, for a spool with a 500 m capacity, you can put in 200 m of line and 300 m of braid, attaching them with a knot.
This optimises the spool fill. This rig also prevents the braid rotating in the spool.
