Platypus news May 2007
Revolutionary Platypus Lo-Stretch™, now available in Fluoro Orange.
Platypus have expanding the innovative and highly successful Platypus Lo-Stretch™ range with new high visibility Fluoro Orange and larger bulk spools of 1200 metre length.
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 capitalising 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. 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.
Platypus Lo-Stretch™ is more cost effective than Braid, roughly one third the price of Braid.
Platypus Lo-Stretch™ is available in IGFA rated 3 kg – 24 kg in 300, 500 or 1200 metres in your choice of pink, blue or now high visibility orange.
