What are STROFT monofilament fishing lines made of?
All monofilament fishing lines are made of either fluorocarbon or polyamid (nylon). Sometimes the term “copolymer” is used. This is also nylon, but it’s been mixed with additives in order to improve certain properties. All STROFT monofilament fishing lines are manufactured from copolymers (nylon with additives). For a fundamental and detailed description see: What are the pros and contras of nylon, fluorocarbon and dyneema.Nylon has the big advantage that it can actually be tuned (e.g. using additives, controlled stretching, heat treating and tempering) to greatly improve certain properties (e. g. breaking strain, knot strength, softness, surface hardness, etc.) Fluorocarbon has not been used for fishing lines by WAKU until now. See following question regarding fluorocarbon.
