TriPolymer Advanced Monofilament NEW from KastKing
Eugene L. 07.03.23
Not one, not two, but three polymers are in the new advanced monofilament from Kastking. The TriPolymer Advanced Monofilament is something completely new from KastKing. It is a new type of monofilament line that uses KastKing’s proprietary tri-extrusion process to incorporate three different types of nylon into one revolutionary line. It is not fluorocarbon and it is not monofilament, but a blend for the best attributes of each.
Rex Nelson, Product Development Specialist for KastKing, explains the impetus behind the development of TriPolymer. “Although fluorocarbon lines are great fishing lines, we were looking for an alternative to fluorocarbon. The limited supply and high cost associated with the resin used to make fluorocarbon translate into higher prices for anglers. We set out to make a fishing line that had many of the same benefits that fluorocarbon offers, yet at a much better price point for the angler.”
Nelson further explains the technology behind TriPolymer. “By combining three different nylon resins together into one monofilament line, a truly unique fishing line is created. The three nylon resins, being in the same chemical family, blend together perfectly during the manufacturing process. However, each resin has its own unique attributes that make the end result a truly amazing fishing line”.
The advanced monofilament starts with a soft and supple Nylon 6 core, then high-tenacity Nylon 6,6 is introduced to add strength to the line. Finally, Nylon 12, the most durable nylon, is added to the TriPolymer Advanced Monofilament to give it an amazing abrasion-resisting performance. All this combined makes for a soft and supple line that can handle the toughest fishing conditions.
This new monofilament is incredibly smooth, so reduced friction in the rod guides along with having lower memory for better casting distance and fewer issues with line twists and backlashes. Line stretch is not a big concern with the line as well. The stretch factor is approximately 30% lower than traditional monos, so expect higher sensitivity and better hook sets when fishing it. The last thing about TriPolymer Advanced Monofilament is its higher specific gravity than other monofilament lines, a specific gravity of 1.21 lets the line sink in water, letting lures and baits sink through the water column even faster.
