Tippet material Stroft Fc2 Fluorocarbon

After a lot of preparation and Tests, STROFT is now bringing two new fluorocarbon fishing lines onto the market,
Stroft FC1 and Stroft FC2.
Of course, the new lines have also been tested by the EFFTA and as a result FC1 and FC2 will now carry the
EFTTA seal of quality. Both lines, Stroft FC1 and Stroft FC2 have the highest breaking strains that the EFTTA have as yet been able to confirm for
fluorocarbon lines.
The linear breaking strain of the Stroft FC2 is just marginally lower than that of Stroft FC 1.
Stroft FC 1 has an exceptionally high knot strength, which of course is somewhat reflected in the price.

These new lines have a comparatively low memory, certainly in comparison to other fluorocarbon lines.

Technical characheristics:

Abrasion-resistance. Very high resistance to abrasion with low rate of absorption (water absorption
0.01%); this value stays constant even after being immersed for several hours, which makes this the
ideal material for use on rocky ground or mussel beds.
- Density. Fluorocarbon is heavier (1.78 g/cm³ as opposed to Nylon 1.14g/cm³), so it tends to sink. That
makes it ideal, if one requires a strong line that sinks quickly.
- Sensitivity. Extreme sensitivity as a result of the minimal load-elongation makes the line particularly
useful whenever lure feedback and bite detection are paramount (spinners, spoons). The relatively high
specific weight of the line results in the line straightening quickly after casting and improves bait contact.
- Casting (fly fishing). The higher specific weight also helps the leader „roll out“ nicely on the cast as
well as helping both nymph and streamer presentation.
- Durability. Very high durability as UV-light, saltwater and other aggressive substances have practically
no effect, ideal for sea fishing and wherever high levels of solar radiation are expected.
- Visibility. The refractive index of fluorocarbon is 1.42 as opposed to 1.58 for nylon; as a result it’s closer
to that of water which is 1.33. For this reason, it is less visible to the human eye when immersed in clear
