MAXIMA Fluorocarbon 180m fluorocarbon line

MAXIMA Fluorocarbon 180m line

A fluorocarbon designed for fly fishing

The MAXIMA Fluorocarbon 180m line is intended for all fly fishing applications. Its density, greater than that of nylon, makes it less visible at the surface and virtually imperceptible underwater — a decisive advantage for fooling the most wary fish.

Stealth and efficiency in action

Thanks to its refractive index close to that of water, this fluorocarbon ensures optimal stealth, both in dry fly fishing and nymphing. Underwater, it becomes invisible while retaining excellent strength, which noticeably improves the strike rate.

Energy transmission and enhanced strength

Stiffer than nylon, the MAXIMA Fluorocarbon 180m line efficiently transmits the energy of the cast to the fly. This controlled stiffness ensures better accuracy and optimal drift control. Its high abrasion resistance allows use in cluttered areas or with powerful fish.

Durability and stability against UV

Unlike nylon, whose strength can greatly diminish after sun exposure, MAXIMA fluorocarbon is virtually unaffected by ultraviolet rays. It thus retains its mechanical performance over time, even with intensive use.

Connection tip

To reinforce the strength of the rig, it is advisable to tie the tippet or leader in fluorocarbon to a strand of nylon of the same or very similar diameter, in order to optimise knot strength.
