Niti Polywire (2m)
STROFT NiTi Polywire Wires made of nickel-titanium alloys (NiTi) are enjoying increasing popularity in the PREDATOR FISHING SCENE - mainly because of their unique property of springing back to their original state even after severe bending. However, there are also disadvantages - namely when „connecting“ these nickel-titanium wires to swivels, snaps, hooks and others. Crimps are often used as aids for this purpose. But unfortunately these connections have strongly fluctuating breaking strains, also because of the sharp edges of the crimps. If you crimp them too hard, there is a risk of stress concentration at either end of the crimp (NiTi wires are generally more susceptible to stress concentration than steel wires) and thus a reduction of the wire’s breaking strain. If the crimping is too weak, there is a risk of slippage, which also leads to a reduction in breaking strain. Sometimes „tying a knot“ is recommended. However, there too depending on the wire, only highly fluctuating knot strengths are achieved. In addition, thicker monowires are stiff and tying knots becomes very difficult. STROFT NiTi Polywire solve these problems and are the first choice when it comes to the ultimate predator leader. The connections are quick and easy to make. No crimps, no pliers - a simple, very easy to tie clinch knot with 4 turns is the solution - and with STROFT NiTi (and its thinner wires) it can even achieve up to 100% of the linear breaking strain! This was made possible by a very specific adjustments of the alloy composition to those properties that are desired for predator fishing leaders - namely: maximum abrasion resistance, superelasticity, optimum (simple) knotability, best possible line memory, maximum breaking strain/maximum knot strength, sufficient stretch (8%) and a non-reflective surface. STROFT NiTi Polywire optimally meet all these requirements. Diameter Breaking Strength 0,30 mm 8 kg 0,35 mm 14 kg 0,40 mm 18 kg Length: 2 m

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.

Tippet Material
As a fly fisher you probably know that there is nothing worse than loosing a big fish, or any fish, to a broken leader. It is therefore of the utmost importance that your fly leader can is in the highest quality. Only high quality leaders are thin enough for the fish not to notice them but strong enough to land your dream fish. Not only is the leader important for taming fish it´s also important for a great cast. If you´ve ever fished with a too short leader you´ll probaly know that it´s hard to get the leader to stretch which makes the cast look clumsy. A tapered leader is good way to prevent this because of the gradual tapering which ensures the best transfer of energi to make sure you leader always streches as it should. When we choose our leaders and tippet materials we also aim for the highest quality on the market. In our sortiment you will find leaders and tippet materials from brands like: TIEMCO, TRAUN RIVER and RIO.
