Platypus 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.
