The Japanese leader SUNLINE has been manufacturing and developing braids, nylons and fluorocarbons since 1977 thanks to a manufacturing plant equipped with highly technological machines and a very active and efficient "Research and Development" department. SUNLINE is also renowned worldwide for the reliability of its products and the accuracy of the performances indicated on the packaging (products approved by IGFA for record ratification). SUNLINE indeed ensures an extremely rigorous control over its products placed 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 performing machines are also capable of measuring knot strength, abrasion resistance, UV resistance, resonance, smoothness, braiding intensity, etc... Only a manufacturer is capable of providing this kind of information and helps us avoid unpleasant surprises!
This year marks the culmination for SUNLINE of several years of research and technological progress in manufacturing. Indeed, SUNLINE is launching on the market a new braid that is totally exceptional, unique and innovative: SIGLON ADV( Advanced). The latter results from a new manufacturing technology that integrates resin with the braid's polyethylene fibers (DRT, Deep Resin Technology). This new manufacturing process gives this 8-strand braid all the advantages 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 braid, even of high quality. Indeed, SUNLINE found that even a very high-quality braid, ideally manufactured (consistent braiding speed and tension), still contains air in the polyethylene fibers which absorbs water when the braid is submerged. The water never fully dries in the reel and turns into mould (microscopic) and over time affects the braid's strength and quality.
This impermeability also gives it an incredible penetration in the water and considerably limits the belly caused by current or drift. Less slowed down by the water, the lure or the sinker also reaches the bottom faster. Tests were carried out with the same weight and exactly the same braid diameter (a standard braid and the SIGLON ADV) and each time, the sinker attached to the SIGLON ADV reached the bottom first. It's a point that may be insignificant for shallow depths (20m) but so appreciated at greater depths (beyond 100 m)!.
SIGLON ADV is sinking (density index higher than water) which gives it very good holding in the water, particularly when fishing in waves that have the annoying tendency to carry the braid away when it is floating. Its "direct" strength and knot strength performances are of course also present but the most impressive thing lies in the abrasion resistance of the SIGLON ADV, four times superior to 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-forths: 135 passes before breaking on a standard braid, 404 on the SIGLON ADV!
The DRT resin treatment also brings many advantages such as excellent smoothness and very good casting performance in windy conditions!
