The STROFT GTM is the # 1 monofilament fishing line. The TÜV Munich declared it the best monofilament fishing line ever - and in the US magazine "THE FLYFISHERMAN" STROFT GTM was declared the absolute winner in strength. The tuning focus is on the tensile strength values while optimizing highly elastic suppleness. This process, which is constantly being developed, mainly involves modifications of the now multi-stage annealing process. Hence the abbreviation GTM (tempered monofilament). Likewise, the composition of the "polyamide alloy" is in constant development. If development results indicate clear improvements, they flow into series production after extensive testing. Over the years, the STROFT GTM, which undergoes all stages of refinement and tuning, has not only the most important characteristic of knot strength but also sliding friction, static friction, surface hardness, surface smoothness, yield strength, elongation at break, fine load elongation, initial elongation, drill elongation, Sensitivity, feedback, memory, flexibility, smoothness and softness are constantly being improved and optimized.

R5 (11.0 kg)
The R stands for round and tight. Type R is produced of Peak-UHMWPE fibres, with a very special braiding process. The STROFT special-braid, for example, consists of 300x8 = 2400 single fibres in Type R12. This results in a practically perfect circular cross section, with arrow head “dimples” on the surface. The “dimples” produce tiny air turbulences during casting which greatly reduce air-resistance and increase casting distance. They work in a similar fashion to the dimples on a golf ball. But this „round and tight special braiding process“ offers another big additional advantage which many others of the so called „braided“ do not have. For all STROFT GTP lines it is possible to create a splice loop which has a better knot breaking strain than any other connection - namely up to 100% of the available breaking strain (see page 34). Type R01 to R06 are extremely fine lines. Their actual diameter ranges from 0,07 mm to 0,13 mm. A unique PeakUHMWPE fibre, bundled in strands, made of a few individual fibres, allows to explore this type of reduced diameter strength. Batch fabrication is at this point not economical, since very fewy angling applications require monofilament lines of such a reduced diameter strength. Nevertheless, having explored and gone down that route, we will continue manufacturing these type of monofilaments in small quantities, if only to show the technical capabilities available to us. And who knows, maybe the one or the other angler is on the lookout for these super-fine lines.
