How are STROFT monofilament lines manufactured?
The companies Honeywell, Quadrant EEP Inc. und Röchling Engineering Plastics use a different manufacturing technique but the resulting fibre has similar characteristics. The “gel spinning” technique from DSM produces the best and strongest fibres world wide. The fibres have a diameter of 0,01mm and a tensile strength of 350 kg/mm2. Incidentally one can use this value to calculate the true maximum breaking strain of a fishing line; a 0.18mm diameter line has a maximum breaking strain of 7.4kg. We use only these fibres in order to make STROFT GTP lines.
