Know-how… Braiding: Basically, we distinguish between two types of braiding, which are referred to as round or symmetrical and oval or asymmetrical. The picks of the brai-ding too – in other words the number of knottings per centimetre – also plays an important part. Climax fishing lines are braided extremely consistently and precisely, above all to achieve extreme reliability.

Good to know: Diameter: Even with the most exact braiding and special stretching, a braided line body, when measured with a microm- eter, will show deformity, and a laser measurement is imprecise due to the often ‘out-of-round’ body. For these reasons, approximate values are most often quoted for the diameter. You should therefore buy your braided lines according to the tensile strength or breaking strain and then take a look at the diameter.

Did you know… Stretch: Most braided lines exhibit a very slight stretch of between 1% and 5% and provide excellent direct contact to bait and/or fish. When fishing with modern methods in particular, such as the Drop Shot technique, a good braid is abso- lutely essential.
