Product information "Scientific Anglers Absolute Fluorocarbon Shock Leader Material"

Absolute - this is the short and concise name of the new leader series from Scientific Anglers. The Absolute Fluorocarbon Tippet from Scientific Anglers offers exactly what discerning fly fishermen dream of: a perfect blend of impressive strength, abrasion resistance and a 15% higher wet knot strength than previous models. In addition, its excellent suppleness makes it easy to knot, making it undoubtedly one of the best fluorocarbon materials on the market. It is therefore hardly surprising that the developers of these lines describe their products as "Absolute".

The Scientific Anglers Absolute Fluorocarbon Shock is made from 100% fluorocarbon and is suitable for all predators in fresh and salt water due to its particularly high abrasion resistance. The material is extremely strong and withstands sharp teeth, corals, stones and other structures better. The generous 30 metre spools have a particularly large diameter. This not only prevents memory, but also allows the leader material to be attached within easy reach, e.g. to a rucksack or waistpack. Very practical!

Like any other FC, the Fluorocarbon Shock from Scientific Anglers has two major advantages: Firstly, FC has a comparable refractive index to water. This means that leaders made from FC are almost invisible in the water. In crystal-clear waters, it therefore often has the edge over conventional nylon (monofilament) leaders. Secondly, fluorocarbon sinks easily, whereas nylon floats on the surface. For this reason and also due to its higher abrasion resistance, FC is often used where stones or other structures pose a danger during the fight.

Whether fishing for native predators such as pike and co. or for GT, tarpon and other tropical giants: The Absolute Fluorocarbon Shock is a first-class choice and a material you can rely on 100%.
