SHIMANO MASTIFF FC Fluoro Line 200Yd
Mastiff is Shimano's new fluorocarbon line specifically designed to meet the demands of bass anglers worldwide. Made from high-quality materials that have been tested and verified over a long period of time, Mastiff is known for its exceptional strength and durability, perfect for handling big fish in tough conditions.
One of the key features of Mastiff is its low linear elongation, which allows anglers to feel even the slightest pecking or disturbance on the line. This attribute is important for detecting bites, allowing the angler to set the hook quickly and effectively.
Mastiff is also wear-resistant, making it ideal for use in thick cover. The line possesses a supple feel making it easy to cast and control. Mastiff delivers smooth, responsive performance that anglers can rely on.
The use of 100% fluorocarbon material and strict quality control measures during production ensure a consistently smooth surface that enhances the line's performance on the water.
Mastiff's smooth surface allows for an easy release from the spool and less resistance when passing through guides, resulting in improved casting distance. This smoothness is achieved by rigorous inspection at the factory to ensure an even surface down to just 1 micron, far surpassing the industry standard.
In addition, Mastiff's suppleness enables smooth casting even with light lures and technical casts. This feature makes Mastiff ideal for finesse fishing enthusiasts.
Overall, Mastiff is engineered for long casts, sensitivity feedback, and securing big bites.
A UNIQUE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY, NANOARMOR®, INCREASES THE BINDING STRENGTH OF KNOTS
In addition to being smooth and supple, Mastiff possesses superior binding strength compared to other fluorocarbon lines. While the surface is completely smooth running parallel to the length of the line, Shimano engineers devised a unique nano-surface processing technology called NANOARMOR®, which creates ridges across the outer surface of the line so slight they’re undetectable by human fingertips or eyes.
This extremely fine application of concave and convex textures on the outermost layer of the line helps prevent knot-slipping when fighting large fish. Similarly, this minimizes slippage and breakage when using common bass angling techniques like twitching, jerking, and casting large lures.
The concavo-convex NANOARMOR® layer interacting with the overall smoothness of the surface creates a fluorocarbon line with enhanced binding strength. This makes Mastiff an ideal choice for use in all bass angling situations.
