Platypus Fishing Line: Australia's strongest fishing line since 1898

Fishing Line Sinking-Braid

AFTA Best of Show AwardOrdinary PE braids float...not usually a problem, but when fishing with light or unweighted lures or bait, it's hard to get into the strike zone and stay there. Platypus Sinking-Braid has been designed to address this problem.

Platypus Sinking-Braid is braided using gelspun polyethylene fibre blended with the addition of denser high tenacity fibres - near zero stretch so you feel every bite, tap or bump providing sensitivity and depth control that no other line can match.

Platypus Sinking-Braid engineered slow sink to get light or unweighted lures or bait into the strikezone fast and keeps them there, with nothing to inhibit a natural presentation. Reduced "line belly" between rod tip and hook ensure more positive hook sets

Advantages of Platypus Sinking-Braid

  • Engineered slow sink
  • Not weakened by sunlight
  • Less "line belly" between rod tip and hook for more positive hook sets
  • Exceptional strength to diameter ratio
  • Phenomenal sensitivity from near zero stretch
  • 100% Australian made, owned and operated
