Fluorocarbon is the hottest line in professional fishing. As proof, just look at how many brands of fluorocarbon have sprung up over the past year or so. And the pros love it: Kevin VanDam uses it exclusively, and several other pros use it as much or more than mono.
But did you know that all fluorocarbon line is only made in three plants in the world? Two are in Asia and one is in Germany. And the only fluorocarbon specifically manufactured for fishing is German. The Asian plants make it for other uses (like filtration), and supply it to line marketers as a side business. That's why some fluorocarbon plainly doesn't hold up as well as others.
Now that you know that, here's the kicker. Only one line company has exclusive rights to the German fluorocarbon: Clermont, Fla.-based Triple Fish.
Four years ago Triple Fish began working with the German manufacturer to adjust its fluorocarbon to be even more fishing-friendly. The results: better knot strength, less stretch and far more suppleness than Asian fluorocarbons, so it's more "mannerly" on your reel.
Plus, like all fluorocarbons, it's twice as dense as mono so it sinks better and is more abrasion-resistant, and it's crystal clear so it's nearly invisible to fish.
One more amazing fact: the Germans' more-efficient manufacturing process allows Triple Fish to sell its fluorocarbon to BassFans for less money than other fluorocarbons.
More Lines
That's just Triple Fish's fluorocarbon line. As should be obvious from the above, Triple Fish is the world leader in the development of other new, specialty fishing lines.
Many of its line are manufactured from Perlon, as opposed to the nylon used in most fishing lines. The reason? When you (or a fish) stretches Perlon, it comes back to its original diameter within 3 percent -- even after 400-600 stretches.
Why is that important? The pros re-spool their reels every night during competition because when you get hung up, catch a big fish or set the hook hard, it stretches conventional mono. The line remains stretched so it has a thinner diameter and up to 25 percent reduced tensile strength.
In contrast, almost like a rubber band, Perlon will come back to its original diameter so it will maintain its tensile strength and toughness longer than conventional mono. That's why saltwater anglers love Triple Fish lines. They don't know why, they just know Triple Fish holds up way better than other lines.
This also means you get more use out of your line, which is important for anglers on a budget -- and who isn't on a budget?
Here are a few more Triple Fish lines you should know about:
> Camoescent -- A super-tough line that's a favorite of flippers and pitchers. Every 22 inches, Camoescent changes from brown, to green, to dark orange, to clear fluorescent. That breaks up its profile so the fish can't see it as well. Also, the fluorescent segments help you with deep worm or jig fishing during the day, as well as night fishing. Don't like fluorescent line? No problem. Triple Fish's Camouflage line omits the fourth, fluorescent band.
> Silicone -- A tough, clear line that also casts very well. The Perlon material is thermally infused with raw silicone to displace water and keep it relaxed, unlike conventional nylon monos which absorb water and weaken with use.
> Rx Spinning -- This line is light-years ahead of any other spinning-specific line in the world. Memory is reduced by 55 percent, it has a 22 percent smaller diameter for the same pound test and it casts like a dream. Check it out.
Three Final Things to Consider
> Triple Fish is owned by Dave Burkhardt, who has been a major behind-the- scenes player in bass fishing for decades and is a heck of a bass fisherman. He's no MBA-come-lately to the fishing industry. He knows what bass anglers want and need.
> When fishing industry bigwigs go fishing, they call Burkhardt to beg him for some line. Triple Fish lines are one of the few secrets left in fishing -- and the secret is out!
> Again, the highest-tech fishing line-development plant in the world is in Germany, and Triple Fish has exclusive North American rights to their products.
