Ultima Dynaflex Micro Braid

Ultima Dynaflex Micro Braid - £24.95

Dynaflex line is braided from ultra-strong pure Dyneema fibres.

The incredibly low diameter of Dynaflex means that bowing and drag can be dramatically reduced in any moving water situation, vastly improving the contact with the fish at distance.

The very low stretch of less than 4% telegraphs every movement of the bait straight to the angler, so that he can react immediately, even at great distance, significantly increasing the chance of setting the hook.

The knot strength of Dynaflex is very high and will exceed 90% of the stated linear breaking strength when the recommended knots are used.

Dynaflex has a round profile, will not twist or kink and is totally memory free. The product comes with full instructions.

Available in 300yd spools in pale grey colour.

Fox Warrior Line

Fox Warrior Line - 6.99

Warrior is manufactured using the same technology as Soft Steel and Barbuster. Like all Fox monofilaments, Warrior has a consistent diameter throughout the length and exceptional wet knot strength. Barbuster has already established itself as a favourite with anglers who fish snaggy waters due to its high abrasion resistance. The Fox range of monofilaments is probably the most comprehensive available, with something to suit every angler.

Warrior Carp line is formulated and extruded to Fox's own stringent specification. This has created a line that is affordable, economical and features qualities that have only ever been seen before on premium priced monofilaments. Warrior is extremely tough and hard wearing yet limp and manageable, incorporating a wet knot strength that is consistently strong and reliable. Tied correctly with grinner or Palomar knots each of the line classes will provide a knot strength well in advance of their stated loadings. Available in a choice of two colours low-viz platinum grey or dark camo green and in 10lb, 12lb and 15lbs.

Ultima Power Plus Line

Ultima Power Plus Line - from: 3.95 per spool

Ultimate Power
Using state of the art hi-tech copolymers, Power Plus is over 70% stronger than lines that were around 25 years ago. But that's not the only advantage. The real plus with Power Plus is all the other great features that make this high strength line a fantastic performer in almost every situation.

High Knot Strength
Modern materials and technology have achieved very high knot strengths previously thought not possible. No special knots are needed with Power Plus; standard angling knots will deliver close to 100% knot strength.

You Know What You Get
We stand by what we put on our labels. The correct diameter. The correct breaking strain. At Ultima we know exactly what our products are and what they do. What you see is what you get.

Balanced Stretch Factor
Designed to give positive contact but with a forgiving nature Power Plus has a medium to low stretch averaging 22%. This provides excellent direct contact with bait and fish, but still enough give to avoid snap offs.

Sinking In
line with the vast majority of customers requirements Power Plus has been designed to sink making it ideal for feeder and link fishing, as well as most spinning, specimen and carp fishing applications.

High Abrasion Resistance
Recent Polymer developments have brought huge gains here. Power Plus is 6 times more abrasion resistant and tougher than traditional monos, so it can be used with confidence in any situation.

Super Soft
Power Plus is silky smooth. More technology enables a never before seen combination of softness with the line's great strength and toughness, that is longer lasting and very easy to use.

Low Visibility
Power Plus is produced in a special olive green colour to take
on the colour from surrounding water conditions. Even in
clear waters it is well camouflaged.

Total Reliability
A stringent quality control process with certificated ISO9000 production systems, ensures Ultima's high standards are delivered continually, with in line laser monitoring to ensure consistent and accurate diameter. The brilliant combination of all these Plus Points makes Power Plus the best line for almost every angling application and a line that can empower any angler, to go on and achieve better results in total confidence.

Ultima Power Carp 1000m Spools

Ultima Power Carp 1000m Spools - £15.95

Producing any line is a question of objectives, decisions and compromise. Higher linear strength is usually at the expense of knot strength and softness. Higher abrasion resistance adversely effects softness. Suppleness and long casting usually effects abrasion resistance. It’s all a question of striking the right balance. The benefit of being in the line business in all areas is that you come up against extreme challenges which have to be overcome. Match lines need great strengths, hook lengths require extreme softness, beach lines extreme abrasion resistance and softness for castability. The problem producing a great carp line is that it needs it all. That’s why we are so pleased with what we have achieved with Power Carp because we think that we have it all in one product.

Development has been the keyword at Ultima in recent years and our wealth of experience has been brought into play in the development of Power Carp. So much was achieved over the two years it took to develop Power Plus that this has formed an invaluable platform on which two other great lines can be developed.

In the last two years we have greatly expanded our grass roots feedback from a team of 20 dedicated field testers who have driven us towards new performance levels in our Carp lines. Power Plus is of course a superb carp line and will become a market leader in this field as people realise its versatility. However, some felt that there was the need to develop an even higher specification for the dedicated carp angler and even before Power Plus was finished a project Power Carp was already emerging as a concept in its own right. Nine months later it is reality.



INCREDIBLE STRENGTH
High quality copolymers similar to those used in Power Plus have given Power Carp an incredibly high linear and knot strength which is key to a high quality carp line. As with all the rest of our Hi-tech products, production is carried out in low volumes under carefully controlled conditions to ensure accuracy of diameter and consistent quality.

SUPER SOFT
Using the same technology developed a few years ago for our XT7 product Power Carp benefits from a unique two stage softening process that makes it around 19% softer than a standard Hi-Tech Monofil. The second stage of this softening process involves the application of a fluorocarbon coating which is also responsible for waterproofing the line. As many people know monofilament absorbs water when submerged. This water absorption swells the line and reduces the knot strength by 10 -15% after being in water for any period of time. Because Power Carp is water resistant, this no longer happens, so Power Carp maintains its knot strength at maximum no matter how long it is in use. This is an incredible bonus to the carp angler who may have his lines out for many hours at a time and never needs to worry about a drop in knot strength.

ABRASION RESISTANCE
New materials tested and incorporated into Power Plus have been incorporated into Power Carp. Abrasion resistance has been increased by 600% over normal mono and this has been achieved using the latest materials and techniques which have no detrimental effect on softness.

IDEAL STRETCH
Power Carp has been carefully designed to have a perfect balanced stretch factor of 21%, giving good contact at distance, but also just enough give to avoid snapoffs from sudden takes and runs.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GET
Thoroughly tested in the field for over 6 months prior to launch, Power Carp has exceeded its specification comfortably and in line with Ultima’s policy on specification the diameters and breaking strains indicated on the label are exactly what you get on the spool.

Power Carp delivers the ultimate linear strength possible, in unique combination with suppleness, castability and high abrasion resistance. An extremely soft and user friendly line with a high knot strength is maintained at the maximum no matter how long it is
in use.
