NASH have another winner if you’re a fan of fluorocarbon lines. Normally made by combining a carbon base with fluorine to create a bonded line, this process renders the line almost totally invisible under water as it has the same ‘refractive index’ as the water which surrounds it when fishing so it becomes almost impossible to see.
Fluorocarbon line is stiffer than monofilament nylon line, which makes it ideal for forming part of ‘combi-link’ or stiff rigs, especially in clear water. Abrasion resistant, water and oil resistant, fluorocarbon lines are tough enough to deal with most situations that an angler will encounter. Its stiffness can cause a few errors when knot tying and sufficient care should be taken to ensure knot strength; a dab of superglue may help.
Each pack comes complete with a ‘rig tips’ book to help the inexperienced angler get the best from the product.
