PLATYPUS LO-STRETCH
Â
Platypus lo-stretch is a monofilament that has such low stretch it thinks it’s a braid.
- 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
- Much has been written about the advantages of Braid and most of it is true, but we often forget that monofilament has its place in fishing as well
Â
Some points to consider:
- 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.
Â
“This line makes it possible to control the fish when I need to, very reliable line!” – Mr Ishikawa Motchan, respected Japanese seabass angler
Â
- 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
