Platypus 2 lb Super-Braid wins best line at the Australian Fishing Tackle Show 2005

WORLD FIRST!

Platypus releases 2 lb Super Braid

As more and more anglers target Bream, Platypus has been asked to produce the thinnest braid possible. After several months of trials Platypus is proud to release the world's only 2 lb Super-Braid.

No other manufacturer has been able to produce such a thin exacting braid. Platypus 2 lb Super-Braid is a true braid produced in our Brisbane factory using the finest grade of Dyneema available. Originally given only to gun Bream anglers for tournament use, we are able to now offer this incredible line to all anglers. Our experienced bream angler noted increased casting distance and the ability to catch even the spookiest fish.

Platypus 2 lb Super-Braid has enough body to cast exceptionally far while being limp enough to ensure excellent handling and usability. It provides a remarkable “feel” and situation awareness using soft plastics. Flow-on advantages include crisper soft plastic actions, deeper running depths, and positive hook setting. Although Platypus 2 lb Super-Braid is incredibly thin, strength and knot strength has not been compromised. A word of warning; because of the incredibly fine nature of the line better than average casting skills and reasonable eye sight are required

Unlike thermo-fused and fusion lines, Super-Braid does not suffer from fluffing after the fused coating begins to break apart. As the fluffy line is retrieved it creates a larger wake than normal braided line, this can be a disadvantage for stealth fishing. When anglers need every advantage they can get, Super-Braid 2 lb delivers!

Platypus is 100% Australian owned, operated and manufactured product.
