Description

Platypus Pre-test has proven itself as the line to use when chasing sport and game fishing records, with in excess of 500 IGFA and ANSA records to its name and an incredible number of trophy captures. Platypus Pre-test offers anglers confidence that no other line in the world has the guts to do, with the highest test written in black and white on the spool. Every 1000 metres of Pre-test is tested three times, with the highest test recorded on the spool. Pre-test is constantly evolving as Platypus constantly updates techniques and tracks down new nylon resins and additives to bring you the best possible nylon monofilament in the world. A key characteristic of Pre-test is its engineered higher level of stretch, designed as a shock absorber that keeps you connected to your catch during sustained battles and potentially using light line classes. This higher percentage of stretch is just part of what gives this line its trusted and proven reputation. A combination of quality materials, machinery and processes, combined with over 120 years of fishing line design, development and manufacturing experience have produced a world class line that has Platypus' signature feel, handling and performance, with excellent abrasion resistance and outstanding knot strength.

Field Notes

This is monofilament fishing line for general casting, trolling, or live-bait presentations where stretch and shock absorption are helpful. It is especially useful when fighting hard-running fish or fishing light line classes, since the added stretch helps cushion sudden surges and protect knots.

Pros

  • Higher stretch helps absorb shock during long fights
  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • Strong knot strength
  • Tested and marked on the spool

Cons

  • More stretch than braid or fluorocarbon, so less direct sensitivity
  • Monofilament can require more frequent replacement than some other line types
