Spin off from F1

Copied this from the BBC's article about spin offs from F1

"On another, the attempts to reduce the amount of rubber in contact with the track has led to the design of fishing line with a star-shaped cross-section, reducing drag on the fishing pole's guides and allowing anglers to cast further"

 

Has anyone heard of this wonder line, and what knots would you need

I thought that was what Airflo's Ridge Line was like?

Yes same as, the ridges on the line reducing drag when lifting off the water prior to casting?

ultima does a hollow line with ridges (star shaped) called flo-cast

i use it for my float fishing /trotting on my centrepins and closed faced reels ,its very good and smooth casting line with a bit of stretch but not too much .
