Best New Monofilament

Sufix is targeting the still-booming carp market with its latest monofilament. Sufix Synergy Carp Line combines the core properties which give Synergy lines their ‘unrivalled’ abrasion resistance with new technologies that give a significantly improved tensile strength-to-diameter ratio and reduced stretch. “This line will provide everything the carp angler demands,” says Sufix.

Meanwhile Turkish line maker Mercan, fresh from recognition at China Fish, is launching Mercan Euphrates Dynamic, which it says is incredibly flexible and tough. The 2011 EFTTEX Best New Monofilament Award is the first to be fought since EFTTA launched its Line Charter campaign to put an end to wrongly labelled packaging.
