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

What line should you choose - Estuary

What line to use Estuary

Sinking-Braid is engineered for 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. Find out more about Sinking-Braid

Jigging-Braid is the ultimate line for fish targeting – fish exactly where you want using the measured colour sections.

You can jig and fish with increased confidence, at the exact depth where the fish are hanging.

Troll with more control by keeping your lure spread exactly where you want it behind the boat. Find out more about Jigging-Braid

Super-Braid is useful when lurecasting and trolling for fish as the low stretch allows quick reaction to catch that fish.

Super-Braid's fine diameter allows you to work lures deeper with less water resistance. Four time stronger than steel and unaffected by sunshine or heat. Find out more about Super-Braid

Super-100 is the line when you need a fine diameter to catch those spooky fish. Super-100's fine diameter allows your lure or bait to be worked deeper with a more life-like presentation as there is less interference than a thicker line. Find out more about Super-100

Platinum is a great all purpose line, priced well while still offering excellent fine diameter and strength. Our most popular line for all fishing situations. Find out more about Platinum

Lo-Stretch is our newest and most revolutionary monofilament, manufactured to eliminate as much stretch as possible. This is the monofilament that is closest to Super-Braid's sensitivity.

Lo-Stretch has a fine diameter, yet is tough enough to handle most situations. We recommend that first time fishos use a different line (such as Platinum) as lower stretch can increase pulled hooks and lost fish when you are starting out.

Lo-Stretch is IGFA rated. Find out more about Lo-Stretch

Classic is our most affordable line, tough, strong and with excellent knot strength. Available in green, blue or brown to suit your fishing water colour best. Find out more about Classic

Stealth Leader is our Fluorocarbon leader, with the quicker sink rate, invisibility and toughness which is sometimes hard to find in Fluorocarbon.

Fluorocarbon has a refractive index which is closer to water than normal nylons, which some anglers believes make the line more invisible than regular nylon monofilaments. Available in 100m packs at an affordable price. Find out more about Stealth Leader

Hard Alloy is a leader made with special blends of nylons to maximise abrasion resistance. One of the first leaders to be manufactured matte rather than gloss to eliminate glint from sunshine which can spook fish. Find out more about Hard Alloy
