Thanks to its highest tensile strength values and optimal elastic suppleness, the STROFT GTM is the most successful line in the world for all types of fishing and purposes in the premium class. Particularly valued by fly fishermen as leader and tippet material.
The STROFT GTM is the No.1 monofilament fishing line. TÜV Munich declared it the best monofilament fishing line ever – and in the US magazine “THE FLYFISHERMAN” STROFT GTM was declared the absolute winner in terms of load capacity. The tuning focus is on the tensile strength values while at the same time optimizing maximum elastic suppleness. This process, which is constantly being further developed, mainly involves modifications of the now multi-stage tempering process. Hence the abbreviation GTM (Tempered Monofilament). The composition of the “polyamide alloy” (see also catalog) is also in constant development. If development results show clear improvements, these are incorporated into series production after an extensive test phase. Over the years, the STROFT GTM, which goes through all stages of refinement and coordination, has, in addition to the knot load capacity (the most important property), also the sliding friction, static friction, surface hardness, surface smoothness, yield point, elongation at break, fine load elongation, initial elongation, twisting elongation , sensitivity, feedback, memory, flexibility, suppleness and softness are continually improved and optimized. The STROFT GTM is available in diameters from 0.03 mm to 0.30 mm in very fine increments of 0.01 mm each and in the range from 0.30 mm to 0.60 mm the increments are 0.025 mm. But even more important than the fine diameter gradation is the very fine selection of load capacities this makes possible. This means that there is exactly the right STROFT GTM for every type of fishing and for every purpose – with the highest possible linear and knot load capacities with optimal coordination of all other properties. STROFT GTM is the right fishing line for all sport fishermen who only consider the best quality, namely the number 1.
Our Opinion For South African Waters – the worlds best!
This fantastic tippet material is incredibly strong for its diameter, ties well, and offers you excellent value to performance. Stroft can be used as a tippet tied straight onto tapered your leader, or as is for euro nymphing where diameter to strength makes a huge difference. While not invisible underwater like that of fluorocarbon, the thinner diameter allows for a very high hookup rate while using Stroft. Exceptional material for dry flies, nymphs and competitive anglers.
