Softer and more flexible than regular fluorocarbon – it better protects hooks and knots and reduces the risk of losing fish. The abrasion resistance and knot strength of the new high-performance material have been increased by up to 30%. Climax fluorocarbon does not absorb water, sinks, and is virtually invisible underwater.
Like all other Climax leader materials, the fluorocarbon is supplied on the new Click Twist smooth-running spools. The soft neoprene absorbent Flex rubbers secure the fluorocarbon leader and protect it from UV radiation.
Fluorocarbon or monofilament?
In everyday language, monofilament usually means nylon, although fluorocarbon is also a single-strand line. Fluorocarbon is denser, sinks and is often less visible in water, but not completely invisible. Nylon is generally softer, more affordable and cushions lunges well. Fluorocarbon is often used for leaders, while nylon main line suits elasticity and easy handling.
Climax Fluorocarbon Tippets 30 m is leader material in several diameters. Choose it when a fluorocarbon leader suits the technique. Test knot strength and replace abraded sections. Fine fluorocarbon is not a reliable pike trace: abrasion resistance does not mean bite-proofing.
