Platypus news August 2007

Platypus Sinking-Braid voted best line for 2007Platypus wins Best line at Australian Fishing Tackle Show for Platypus Sinking Braid™.

Expanding the innovative and highly successful Platypus Super-Braid range with new Platypus Sinking Braid .

Platypus Sinking Braid is designed for finesse fishing situations where light jigheads or unweighted baits are needed to target finicky fish.

Ultimate Strength - finest possible diameter for a given breaking strain so you get longer casts, greater spool capacity, and more finesse.

Platypus Sinking Braid is stronger than steel. Computer monitored braiding achieves an ultra tight weave of 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE (Dyneema™/Spectra™) gelspun fibres.

Ultimate Depth Control - engineered slow sink to get light or unweighted lures or bait into the strike zone fast and keeps you there, with nothing to inhibit a natural presentation and less ‘line belly’ between hook and rod tip for more positive hook sets

Ordinary braids float - Platypus Sinking Braid has a slow-sink rate from an engineered blend of Ultra High Molecular Weight PE fibres with denser fibres.

Ultimate Sensitivity – near zero stretch so you feel every bite, tap or bump… providing sensitivity and control that monofilament fishing line can’t match.

Platypus Sinking Braid uses 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE fibres with engineered near zero stretch… and unlike fused gelspun lines, it has zero memory for better control

Platypus Sinking Braid is available in 6, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50 lb in 150, 300 or 500 yard packs. Produced in red for high visiblity out of the water.
