How are singular fibres made into a STROFT multifilament fishing line?
Multifilament STROFT GTP is made by braiding. Other multifilament lines are not braided but are twisted, welded or stuck to form lines. The fibres for STROFT GTP are first bundled into yarn, the number of fibres in a yarn and the number of yarns in a fishing line depends on the required strength that we wish to achieve. STROFT GTP Typ 12 consists of 8 single yarns each consisting of 300 individual fibres. Our special braiding technique results in an almost perfectly round line with arrow-like “dimples” on the surface. See also: What are STROFT Dimples? Due to the particularly tight braid there are very few air cavities which makes the line more resilient.
