The Japanese leader SUNLINE manufactures and develops braids, nylons and fluorocarbons since 1977 thanks to a manufacturing plant equipped with highly technological machines and an extremely active and efficient “Research and development” department. SUNLINE is also known worldwide for the reliability of its products and the accuracy of the performance indicated on the packaging (products approved by IGFA for record approval). SUNLINE indeed performs an extremely rigorous control on its products put on the market with machines connected to computers capable of testing and measuring the strength of a nylon, a fluorocarbon and a braid (polyester and polyethylene). These highly efficient machines are also capable of measuring the resistance to knots, abrasion resistance, UV resistance, resonance, glide, braiding intensity etc… Only a manufacturer is capable of providing this kind of information and avoid us bad surprises!
This year is for SUNLINE the culmination of several years of research and technological advancement in manufacturing. Indeed, SUNLINE launches on the market a new totally exceptional, unique and innovative braid: SIGLON ADV (Advanced). This is derived from a new manufacturing technology which integrates resin with the polyethylene fibers of the braid (DRT, Deep Resin Technology). This new manufacturing process gives this 8-strand all the benefits of an 8-strand but also those of a 4-strand.
Completely waterproof, the SIGLON ADV is protected against water infiltration and therefore lasts much longer than a standard high quality braid. Indeed, SUNLINE noticed that even a very high quality braid ideally manufactured (braiding speed and regular tension), the air is always present in the polyethylene fibers and absorbs water when the braid is submerged. The water never completely dries in the reel and turns into molds (microscopic views) and affects the resistance and quality of the braid over time.
This impermeability also gives it incredible penetration into the water and considerably limits the banner caused by the current or drift. Less slowed down by the water, the lure or the weights also get to the bottom faster. Tests were carried out with the same weight and exactly the same diameter of braid ( a standard braid and the SIGLON ADV) and each time, the weight connected to the SIGLON ADV arrived on the bottom first. This is a minor point for shallow depths (20m) but so appreciable in deeper waters (over 100 m) !.
The SIGLON ADV is sinking (density index greater than water) which gives it a very good hold in the water especially when fishing in waves that have the annoying tendency to take away the braid when the latter is floating. Its “direct” resistance and knot performance are of course also present but the most impressive part is the abrasion resistance of the SIGLON ADV, four times greater than a high quality braid on the market. The tests were done with a machine that rubs the braid on an abrasive paper and counts the number of back and forth: 135 passes before breakage on a standard braid, 404 on the SIGLON ADV!
The DRT resin treatment also provides many benefits such as excellent glide and very good wind casting performance!
