Stroft FC1 | Fluorocarbon Tippet 25m

STROFT FC 1 is the fishing line that came up with the highest breaking strain ever achieved with 100% fluorocarbon.

Particular focus is laid on the line’s knot strength which is fine tuned for each individual diameter. Because of that highly crucial characteristic and its other significant benefits – abrasion resistance, faster sink rate, minimal tensile elongation, strike elongation, casting performance, longevity, low visibility (see also page 12) – STROFT FC 1 is a perfect piece of kit for all forms of leaders/ tippets. Speaking of characteristics, a distinguishing feature between fluorocarbon and monofilament lines which is often hotly debated in the angling press is the difference in elongation. Or more precisely the different
rates of the elongation properties under different line loads (see diagram page 10 – elongation properties). Looking at the blue graph for monofilaments such as GTM and ABR one will notice an undulated line, whereas the black dotted line for fluorocarbon FC 1 and FC 2 is a straight line, which crosses the blue graph at a line load of 50%. In other words, in high line load situations FC stretches more than GTM and ABR, while the elongation in both types of line, is comparable for the strike range (approx. 50 % line load) . In the range of minimal line load FC shows lower stretch than GTM and ABR, which
translates to higher sensibility, better line feedback and bite detection. Characteristics that anglers experience when on the water. If anglers look for these latter qualities FC 1 and FC 2 are their first choice.

For the relatively high price of FC 1 we do recommend anglers use FC 2 as their leader material and select FC 1 as a tippet. This serves the same purpose at a fraction of the cost.

• Remember: Stroft FC1 is a 100% fluorocarbon fishing line with the highest breaking strain that has been tested and verified by the EFTTA.
• 85% knot strength when using the uni-knot. 
• 25m per spool
