BERKLEY TRILENE<br />
100% FLUOROCARBON<br />
The choice of the pros, Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon is the “XT” of professional-grade<br />
fluorocarbons. This proven formula provides incredible shock strength, abrasion<br />
resistance, and knot strength.<br />
Fast-sinking with greater line density for high sensitivity and less “bow” in the water -<br />
all advantages for feeling the bite, setting the hook, and landing more fish!<br />

BALÁZS FILAMENT TECHNOLOGIES<br />
CAMELEON BOILIE & CARP LINE<br />
Balázs Filament Technologies has been offering CAMO fishing lines for some time<br />
now and noticed a growing demand for these unique products.<br />
To meet customer needs and adapt to the latest requirements, the company<br />
invested in new camo line manufacturing technology. The result is its CARBOTEX<br />
ELITE SERIES – Cameleon Boilie & Carp, which was awarded at EFTTEX <strong>2023</strong> in<br />
Budapest.<br />
The recently developed technology is gentler and does not harm the line’s<br />
technological parameters during the dyeing process.<br />
Balázs Filament Technologies is committed to providing the best product to its<br />
customers. With more than 50 different camo colours in the range, it always<br />
creates new ones, according to its partner’s needs.<br />
Apart from its flagship CARBOTEX brand, it is producing OEM products for<br />
customers in the USA, where the CAMO fishing lines are very popular. In addition, it<br />
has also experienced an increased demand for these products in Europe, where it<br />
is open to finding partners, thanks to its larger capacity now.<br />

FIRST DART<br />
HLS LINE<br />
Low stretch at the strike is critical, especially over<br />
long distances as the energy is translated into<br />
line elongation before it reaches the hook. Braid<br />
lines are very low stretch; however, they do not<br />
stand up to abrasion well compared to mono<br />
lines and are very poor in bite detection in slack<br />
line conditions.<br />
For traditionalists who fish low stretch<br />
speciality mono lines, First Dart’s HALS, its<br />
new low stretch monofilament, is an option. It<br />
stretches below 20 per cent at break, among the<br />
lowest in the industry; in addition, the line also<br />
features three times higher abrasion resistant<br />
properties as compared to standard mono lines.<br />
HALS comes with enhanced sensitivity and<br />
extra low memory, so it‘s well suited for use as a<br />
main line.<br />

SEAGUAR<br />
GOLD LABEL FLUOROCARBON LEADER<br />
The thinnest and strongest leader material Seaguar has ever offered is now available in both<br />
25-yard and the new, larger 50-yard spool sizes. Gold Label is made in an exclusive doublestructure<br />
process that unites two different fluorocarbon resins: a strong, sensitive fluorocarbon<br />
core and a soft, supple, fluorocarbon exterior. This delivers a fluorocarbon leader that is both<br />
strong and soft and supple to make line management even more user-friendly.<br />
It was designed especially for use as a leader material with a braided main line and is<br />
different because it is 18 per cent thinner and 17 per cent stronger than any other 100 per cent<br />
fluorocarbon leader made by Seaguar. It is available in sizes from 2lb to 80lb to meet both<br />
fresh and saltwater anglers’ needs.<br />
