The advantage of braid is the incredible sensitivity you get from near zero stretch; Platypus Lo-Stretch™ has the lowest stretch possible from a monofilament. By captialising on new raw material blends and state of the art manufacturing processes we are able to bring you this exceptional line.
Some stretch is good, braid has almost no stretch which makes the line incredibly sensitive, but can result in pulled hooks and lost fish. Platypus Lo-Stretch™ gives you the best of both worlds - enough stretch to allow a slight shock absorbing quality with minimum stretch for maximum sensitivity.
All braided lines have worse knot strength than monofilament, and knots for braids typically require more turns and wraps than regular knots. Good knots tied with Platypus Lo-Stretch™ give 100% knot strength, excellent knots tied in braid give 85% knot strength.
Platypus Lo-Stretch™ is more cost effective than Braid, roughly one third the price of Braid.
Features:
- Lo-Stretch™ is thinner than most monofilaments
- Constructed using an exclusive three-layer process
- IGFA class
- Low stretch for added sensitivity and improved lure action
- 100% Australian made, owned and operated
