What are STROFT Dimples?
The surface of STROFT GTP is covered with dimples, these occur partly as a result of the braiding, but they are also intentional. The dimples produce air turbulence and reduce the air resistance of the line during casting, which results in longer casts than would be possible with a smooth surface. The surface of a golf ball also is dimpled for the same reason. A smooth golf ball wouldn’t fly nearly as far. The number and depth of the dimples is governed by the thickness of the individual fibres, the number of fibres per yarn, the number of yarns used, the angle of braid as well as the exceedingly tight braiding procedure that also results in such a round fishing line.
