Ultima Power Match Line

| We have been asked continually since the launch of Power Plus, what we can do specifically for the Match and Pole angler in his search for the highest breaking strain and lowest diameter possible, to give him an edge in competitive situations. The technology employed in the extensive development work of Power Plus was used as the starting point of this project but the focus was changed to pushing the limits of what can be achieved to maximise linear and knot strength, while delivering excellent presentation. INCREDIBLE STRENGTH We have created Power Match using a similar type of the extremely expensive copolymer that was employed in Power Plus, but differing in the fact that it has an even higher molecular bonding capability. This results in an incredibly high linear strength. All our experience has then gone into achieving an extremely high knot strength that matches this incredible strength. GREAT PRESENTATION Presentation has been just as important as strength in the development of this product. Power Match is smooth, soft and incredibly supple and provides excellent presentation not only because of its thin diameter but because of its extreme softness due to being treated in a special softening bath twice as long as normal mono. PRECISION DIAMETER Power Match, like all our hi-tech high performance lines is produced in small carefully controlled batches that enables us to achieve remarkably accurate tolerance levels and maintain them during production. The last batch tested of 0.20mm tested for example ranged from 0.199 to 0.202. You know where you are. One line on the market tested recently claimed to be 0.13mm but when tested actually measured over 0.16mm! With Ultima what you see on the label is what you get on the spool. INCREDIBLE ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE While Power Match has been designed for out and out strength, as with all Ultima products, we have still paid careful attention to making it robust enough to cope with any situation that it is likely to encounter. Power Match was tested on the reel for long periods during its development and has proved so robust that some field testers are still using it in preference to anything else. LOW VISIBILITY Power Match has been manufactured in clear, as this preference has been expressed by all anglers in our testing team for their rigs and hook lengths. This also ensures there is no chance of anything affecting the purity of the line and therefore its strength in these fine diameters. CONTROL The importance of stretch is often overlooked. We have found from consultation over many years that a stretch factor of between 20 and 25% gives both positive control and enough give to minimise snap offs. Power Match comes in at the lower end with an average stretch of 21% as it is designed for experienced anglers. MORE THAN A CLEAR ADVANTAGE Power match now moves match fishing line technology another step forward giving the serious angler the ultimate performance product. Now with a choice of three superb Hi-tech products in Power Match, Power Plus and XT7, the competition angler has all the advantage he needs in today's match scene. |
