Description
The Long Chuck Tapered Mainline was designed for distance casting in situations where you want to fish directly without a leader knot. It is especially useful in areas where there are weeds that can build up around the knot and cause problems under the rod tip. The Long Chuck Tapered main line comes on a 300-meter spool and includes at each end an 8-meter section of 30-lb. diameter line designed to withstand the force of casting - while providing good abrasion resistance when you're playing a carp - as well as a 2-meter section that tapers to the diameter of the main line you choose. It's exactly the same on both ends, so if you get a cut, you can simply reverse the line on your spool and use it again. This tapered main line has the same properties as the Long Chuck main line, with very little stretch to help compress the rod (heavy mono's are usually quite stretchy and interfere with casting); low water absorption; light weight for its breaking tension, because it's clear (the dyes add weight), so it stays in the air longer; and a high breaking tension to diameter ratio to reduce drag. It is available in a choice of 10-30lb (0.27-0.47mm); 12-30lb (0.30-0.47mm); and 15-30lb (0.33-0.47mm).
