 KRYSTONITE
is not just another good quality mono; no
KRYSTONITE is an exceptional line with many unique characteristics.
KRYSTONITE has been extensively used and thoroughly tested over a three-year
period in the toughest conditions possible to find...tropical shallow
saltwater angling! The harsh conditions of this extreme environment cannot
be overstated. The combinations of blazing sun, abrasive sand, corrosive
salt, sharp coral, sea fans and all manner of underwater hazards will soon
expose the limitations of any normal mono.
No line on earth will ever resist the cutting edge of coral not even our
famous Ton-up, coral will even cut through wire. But out of all of the
mono's that were tested, and they included many well-known brands KRYSTONITE
proved to be the best of all for its low diameter and all round ability. If
KRYSTONITE can handle this type of fishing then it will easily cope with
anything freshwater has to throw at it.
The abrasion resistance testing of the line was based on matching true
diameters and not claimed breaking strains.
KNOTS...Important. Determining accurate line strength is never a
straightforward affair.
There is no single knot that is best for all types of line. Every different
type of line has its own favourite knot. Normal nylon mono prefers a knot
that would be totally unsuitable for use with a braided line. Fluorocarbons
also have their own preferred knots.
The strength of the line depends on which type of knot the line is happy
with. So which is the best knot for a hybrid line such as KRYSTONITE?
The very simple and easy to tie Palomar knot will guarantee to give you
consistent maximum line and knot strength and is highly recommended.
