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 performance claims indicated on the packaging (products approved by IGFA for record ratification). SUNLINE indeed carries out extremely rigorous control on 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 efficient machines are also able to measure knot strength, abrasion resistance, UV resistance, resonance, glide, braiding intensity etc... Only a manufacturer can provide this kind of information and spare us unpleasant surprises!

This year represents for SUNLINE the culmination of several years of research and technological advancement in manufacturing. Indeed, SUNLINE is launching on the market a totally exceptional, unique and innovative new braid: SIGLON ADV (Advanced). This one is the result of a new manufacturing technology that integrates resin with the polyethylene fibers of the braid (DRT, Deep Resin Technology). This new manufacturing process gives this 8-strand 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 (braiding speed and regular tension), air is still present in the polyethylene fibers and absorbs water when the braid is immersed. The water never fully dries in the reel and turns into mold (microscopic) and affects over time the strength and quality of the braid.

This impermeability also gives it incredible penetration into the water and considerably limits the slack caused by current or drift. Less slowed by the water, the lure or the sinker also gets to 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 connected 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)! .

The SIGLON ADV is sinking (density index higher than water) which gives it very good stability in the water, particularly when fishing in waves that have the annoying tendency to carry the braid when it is floating. Its direct tensile and knot strength are of course also present but the most impressive aspect lies in the abrasion resistance of the SIGLON ADV, four times higher than a high quality braid on the market. 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 glide and very good casting performance when casting into the wind!
