Ultra Monofilament
What is Gigafish line?
Material:
Made of dyneema, a strong and durable material commonly used in fishing lines.
Monofilament:
Gigafish Ultra is a single-strand fishing line, as opposed to braided or fluorocarbon lines.
Thickness and Cost:
It is thinner and more affordable compared to fluorocarbon lines, making it an attractive option for anglers.
Strength:
Despite its thinness, Gigafish Ultra is surprisingly strong, which often surprises those who encounter it for the first time.
Buoyancy:
Gigafish Ultra has neutral buoyancy, meaning it can be adjusted to float or sink depending on the angler's preference or the fishing situation.
Flexibility:
It is a soft line, allowing flies to move realistically in the water, which can be advantageous in attracting fish.
Knot Strength:
Ultra knots well, but like with all fine lines, it's recommended to moisten the line and tie knots slowly to prevent breakage.
Stretchiness:
It is not very stretchy, which can provide better sensitivity to bites and strikes.
Memory:
Gigafish Ultra has very little memory, meaning it retains minimal coiling or memory from being spooled on a reel, resulting in smoother casts and less tangling.
Overall:
Gigafish Ultra offers a combination of strength, thinness, flexibility, and low memory, making it a popular choice among anglers, particularly those who prioritize sensitivity and realism in their fishing experience.
