THE brief was simple: produce a locally made, smooth and strong braid at an affordable price – the result is Platypus Platinum Braid.
The makers of Platinum Braid, Australian Monofil, say it uses a silicon impregnated coating to enhance the smooth construction of the line. The smoother feel equates to quieter casting through the guides and longer more accurate casts. The coating reduces wind knots and increases abrasion resistance and knot strength.
The manufactuer’s experience with braiding (which dates back to 1898) has resulted in the production of a braid line with a smooth feel that doesn’t compromise tensile or knot strength.
Only 100 per cent ultra high molecular weight PE (Dyneema/Spectra) gelspun fibres are used in Platinum Braid to ensure you get everything you’d expect from a quality braid: high strength, small diameter and near zero elongation without the expensive price tag!
Made right here in Australia by family owned and operated Platypus lines, Platinum Braid is designed for the fisho that needs an all round braid line at a price that won’t break the bank. Available in 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50 lb in 125 and 300 yd lengths in Gun Metal Grey or Natural White at all great tackle stores. RRP under $50 for 300yds.
