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 performance claims indicated on the packaging (IGFA-approved products for record homologation). SUNLINE indeed carries out extremely rigorous control on its products brought to market with machines connected to computers capable of testing and measuring the breaking strength of a nylon, a fluorocarbon and a braid (polyester and polyethylene). These high-performance machines are also able to measure knot strength, resistance to abrasion, to UV, resonance, slickness, braiding intensity, etc. Only a manufacturer can provide this kind of information and spare us unpleasant surprises!

This year represents the culmination for SUNLINE of several years of research and technological advancement in manufacturing. Indeed, SUNLINE is launching on the market a completely exceptional, unique and innovative new braid: SIGLON ADV (Advanced). This one results from a new manufacturing technology that integrates resin with the polyethylene fibers of the braid (DRT, Deep Resin Technology). This new manufacturing process confers on 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 has observed that even a very high-quality braid ideally manufactured (consistent braiding speed and tension), air is still present in the polyethylene fibers and absorbs water when the braid is submerged. The water never completely dries in the reel and turns into mold (microscopic) and over time affects the strength and quality of the braid.

This waterproofing also gives it incredible penetration in the water and considerably limits the line sag caused by the current or drift. Less slowed by the water, the lure or the weight 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 weight connected to the SIGLON ADV reached the bottom first. It may be insignificant at shallow depths (20 m) but so appreciable at greater depths (beyond 100 m)!

The SIGLON ADV is sinking (density index higher than water) which gives it very good stability in the water, especially when fishing in waves that have the annoying tendency to carry the braid away when it is floating. Its straight-line (breaking) and knot strength performances are of course also present, but the most impressive aspect is the abrasion resistance of the SIGLON ADV, four times higher than a high-quality braid on the market. The tests were done with a machine that rubs the braid on sandpaper and counts the number of back-and-forth passes: 135 passes before breaking on a standard braid, 404 on the SIGLON ADV!

The DRT resin treatment also brings many advantages such as excellent slickness and very good casting performance when facing the wind!
