With the Delphin brand, you get 100% fluorocarbon fishing line. Delphin FLRCARBON has overcome the problem common to most fluorocarbon lines on the market – it has high knot strength and greater flexibility, which ensures a perfectly presented bait.
Fluorocarbon is a special type of line because it has a similar refractive index to water, making it virtually invisible in water. The density of fluorocarbon is approximately 80% higher than water and 60% higher than standard nylon line. It is for this reason that fluorocarbon sinks very quickly. Therefore, Delphin FLRCARBON is an ideal choice for creating fast-sinking rigs for catching wary fish in crystal clear water.

Please note:
Knot strength is always the limiting factor. If you notice an unwanted knot in the line, cut it immediately and create a new rig. The way a knot is tied significantly affects its strength. The knot should be tightened slowly and carefully.

Fluorocarbon or monofilament?
Fluorocarbon is itself a monofilament material; everyday use of monofilament generally means nylon. Fluorocarbon is denser, sinks faster and is often less visible underwater, though not completely invisible. Nylon is usually softer, cheaper and cushions lunges well. Fluorocarbon is often chosen for leaders and nylon for main line where elasticity and simple use are wanted.
Delphin FLR Carbon / 100% is fluorocarbon leader material. Choose diameter for obstacles, hook size and knot strength. Moisten the knot and tighten evenly. Fine fluorocarbon is not reliable protection against pike teeth, even if it withstands bottom abrasion well.
