Fishing Line Super-Braid

Since the release of Super-Braid, Platypus has had requests from anglers around the country asking for a slightly stiffer and coloured braid. In response Platypus has recently released Dark Green and Bright Yellow coloured Super-Braid.

Platypus Super-Braid is braided using 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE (Dyneema™ / Spectra™), for the low stretch, ultra-thin diameter you have come to expect from the new wave of braids.

It has some amazing charactistics including the astonishing facts that - for its diameter - it is ten times stronger than steel, it will not deteriorate in sunlight, it will not absorb water and lastly, it has no line memory! Excellent for lure casting, trolling, fly reel backing or bottom fishing.

Unlike thermo fused and fusion lines, Super-Braid does not suffer from fluffing after the fused coating begins to wear. The effect of the fluffing is as the line is retrieved it creates a much larger wake as the fluff pushes through the water. When anglers need every advantage they can get, Platypus Super-Braid delivers!

Super-Braid has enough body to cast exceptionally far while being limp enough to ensure excellent handling and useability. It provides a remarkable "feel" and situation awareness when lure fishing. Flow-on advantages include crisper lure actions, deeper running depths, and positive hook setting.

Fishing Line Jigging-Braid

Platypus Jigging-Braid™is the ultimate fish targeting braid.

Expanding the innovative and highly successfulPlatypus Super-Braid™ range with new Platypus Jigging-Braid™. Platypus-Jigging Braid™ is designed as the ultimate fish targeting braid, using five coloured sections 10 metre long.

Platypus Jigging-Braid ™ is stronger than steel. Computer monitored braiding achieves an ultra tight weave of 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE (Dyneema™/Spectra™) gelspun fibres in a eight carrier configuration. Eight carrier braids are the premium end of the braid spectrum, most Japanese braids are eight carrier.

Eight carrier braids are round not flat like most cheaper American and European braids, rounder braids pack better on a reel, are more abrasion resistant, have superior knot strength and have a lower coefficient of friction for longer casts. Using three or four carriers produce a cheaper, but technologically inferior braid.

Ultimate fish targeting – fish exactly where you want using the measured colour sections. Jig and fish with increased confidence, at the exact depth where the fish are hanging. Trolling with more control by keeping your lure spread exactly where you want it behind the boat.

Ultimate Sensitivity – near zero stretch so you feel every bite, tap or bump… providing sensitivity and control that monofilament fishing line can’t match.

Platypus Jigging-Braid™ uses 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE fibres with engineered near zero stretch… and unlike fused gelspun lines, it has zero memory for better control.

Platypus Jigging-Braid™ is available in 30, 50 and 80 lb in 150, 300 or 500 yard packs. Multicoloured at 10 metre intervals.
