PLATYPUS PLATINUM

Platinum

Platypus Platinum is the result of many years of research and development. Platypus Platinum gives you a line that has the advantages of low diameter with the value for money that only local manufacturers can provide. Through years of consultation with Australian anglers, Platypus has created a thin diameter monofilament without compromising qualities like abrasion resistance or knot strength. Thinner diameter means decreased friction on the line so that your lure can work deeper and is more responsive due to the low-elongation (stretch) properties of the monofilament. Reduced diameter means more line on your spool allowing you more line (and time) to fight those bruisers from the deep.

Advantages of Platypus Platinum

Platinum is thinner than most monofilaments
IGFA rated sizes (not 10 lb, 25 lb or 40 lb)
Low stretch for added sensitivity and improved lure action

PLATYPUS CLASSIC

Classic

Platypus Classic is a great value line featuring a combined balance of high strength, abrasion resistance and durability. Enhanced by a lubricated finish for friction free casting and a low memory formula, reduces "set in" found in lines that twist and tangle. Platypus Classic utilises a radically different colour enhancing system that has a very high refractive index which gives it the ability of taking light from its surroundings then disposing it into microscopic particles. This solar dispersion makes the line invisible and gives you that extra advantage over your toughest opponent.

Advantages of Platypus Classic

Unbeatable value
Outstanding reliability and durability
Colouring has a high refractive index for increased camouflage, making your line invisible

PLATYPUS SUPER 100

Super-100

To mark Australia's only fishing line manufacturer's 100th year in business, Platypus released Super-100, the world's thinnest diameter fishing line. Platypus Super-100 has been crafted using a new process, allowing an outer skin to be toughened while the core remains supple and flexible. An advanced coating is also applied to the line for added abrasion resistance. Platypus Super-100 is fast gaining a reputation as the only choice for serious anglers, both as mainline and as tippet. Platypus has spent many years perfecting the resin blend and fine tuning their production methods to bring Super-100 to you.

It took all of our 100 years of experience to craft this superb fishing line. It makes me proud to be producing such a world class product right here in Australia.

Lo-Stretch

Platypus Lo-Stretch is a monofilament that has such low stretch it thinks it's a braid. The advantage of braid is the incredible sensitivity you get from near zero stretch; Platypus Lo-Stretch has the lowest stretch possible from a monofilament. By captialising on new raw material blends and state of the art manufacturing processes we are able to bring you this exceptional line. Much has been written about the advantages of Braid and most of it is true, but we often forget that monofilament has its place in fishing as well. Some points to consider: Some stretch is good, braid has almost no stretch which makes the line incredibly sensitive, but can result in pulled hooks and lost fish. Platypus Lo-Stretch gives you the best of both worlds - enough stretch to allow a slight shock absorbing quality with minimum stretch for maximum sensitivity.

This line makes it possible to control the fish when I need to, very reliable line!

Mr Ishikawa Motchan Respected Japanese Seabass angler All braided lines have worse knot strength than monofilament, and knots for braids typically require more turns and wraps than regular knots. Good knots tied with Platypus Lo-Stretch give 100% knot strength, excellent knots tied in braid give 85% knot strength. Platypus Lo-StretchÃ¢ï¿½Â¢ is more cost effective than Braid, roughly one third the price of Braid.

Advantages of Platypus Lo-Stretch

Lo-Stretch is thinner than most monofilaments
Constructed using an exclusive three-layer process

Super-Braid

Since the release of Super-Braid, Platypus has had requests from anglers around the country asking for a slightly stiffer and coloured braid. In response Platypus has recently released Dark Green and Bright Yellow coloured Super-Braid. Platypus Super-Braid is braided using 100% Ultra High Molecular Weight PE (Dyneema / Spectra), for the low stretch, ultra-thin diameter you have come to expect from the new wave of braids. It has some amazing charactistics including the astonishing facts that - for its diameter - it is ten times stronger than steel, it will not deteriorate in sunlight, it will not absorb water and lastly, it has no line memory! Excellent for lure casting, trolling, fly reel backing or bottom fishing. Unlike thermo fused and fusion lines, Super-Braid does not suffer from fluffing after the fused coating begins to wear. The effect of the fluffing is as the line is retrieved it creates a much larger wake as the fluff pushes through the water. When anglers need every advantage they can get, Platypus Super-Braid delivers! Super-Braid has enough body to cast exceptionally far while being limp enough to ensure excellent handling and useability. It provides a remarkable "feel" and situation awareness when lure fishing. Flow-on advantages include crisper lure actions, deeper running depths, and positive hook setting.

Advantages of Platypus Super-Braid

Not weakened by sunlight

PLATYPUS GAME LEADER

Game Leader

Platypus Game Leader has been designed to lead the world in leader material technology. Its multipolymer construction has enabled Platypus to be suitable for both crimping and knotting, while still maintaining maximum strength. Designed for fisherman, the supersoft core gives maximum limpness flexibility and supurb handling, while the annealed surface giving maximum confidence against abrasion. When fighting a thrashing fish, minimum abrasion will occur between the fish and the Platypus Game Leader. This allows the contest to be between you and the fish not you and the fishing line. The lasting qualities of Platypus Game Leader are unequalled. With technologically superior UV inhibitors, heat stabilisers and impregnated lubricating compound will see your Platypus Game Leader performing at optimum tensile strength in the harshest of conditions. Platypus Game Leader is packaged in convenient leader wheels.
