SHIMANO Technium Mono is a low-stretch, sinking nylon line that provides an excellent combination of strength and high abrasion resistance. An advanced three-layer construction reduces linear stretch while maintaining suppleness and better presentation. If you are a serious carp or coarse angler, you probably already know that Technium mono lines have a fantastic reputation and have been one of the leading high-tech lines for several years. With its reduced stretch and high strength-to-diameter ratio, Technium is the perfect compromise between braided line and 'normal' monofilament lines. Technium Tribal boasts excellent casting properties, and for carp anglers who use light bobbins or fish with slack lines, the sensitivity—combined with the sinking properties—is a serious advantage, as well as the reduced stretch which offers advantages over non-stretch braided lines.The hyper-resistant core in the middle consists of three layers, giving Technium mono half the stretch of a standard mono line. This significantly increases bite detection when feeder fishing or carp fishing, while retaining enough stretch to confidently play the fish. The second layer of the construction provides the line with its supple characteristics. This improves casting performance and contributes to Technium's excellent knot strength. The final outer layer not only protects the line from UV light but also provides a silky-smooth surface that reduces friction during casting and increases abrasion resistance.
