The primary advantage of braid is its exceptional sensitivity due to near-zero stretch. Platypus Lo-Stretch offers the lowest stretch achievable in a monofilament. By leveraging advanced raw material blends and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, we deliver this outstanding line.

While much has been documented about the benefits of braid, monofilament remains essential in fishing.

Key Considerations:

Some stretch is beneficial. Braid's minimal stretch enhances sensitivity but may lead to pulled hooks and lost fish. Platypus Lo-Stretch provides an optimal balance—sufficient stretch for shock absorption with minimal stretch for maximum sensitivity.

Braided lines generally exhibit weaker knot strength compared to monofilament, requiring more turns and wraps. Knots tied with Platypus Lo-Stretch achieve 100% knot strength, whereas excellent knots in braid achieve 85% knot strength.

Platypus Lo-Stretch is more cost-effective than braid, approximately one-third the price.

• Lowest stretch in monofilament
• Optimal sensitivity and shock absorption
• 100% knot strength
• Cost-effective alternative to braid
