Gardner Hydro-Tuff

Description

Gardner Hydro-Tuff is a low-vis green copolymer mainline built for the most demanding angling situations, where a tough, robust and utterly reliable line is needed on the reel. It is supplied on a larger arbour spool, matching the spooling method used across the rest of the Gardner Tackle main line range. No other high abrasion line offers the same performance for casting. Hydro-Tuff is fast sinking and delivers great feel, exceptional knot strength and outstanding reliability. It is a line that improves with use, which translates into a really long life span on your reels. In the higher diameters it is brutally strong, making it a favourite of river and canal carp anglers in the UK and mainland Europe. The 12lb (0.35mm) version has proven unsurpassed as a mainline capable of withstanding the repetitive shock of long range fishing on waters with a leader ban. All Gardner main lines are rated with a good margin in terms of the stated breaking strain, taking into account knot strength using a well tied grinner or Palomar. Realistically, the 0.35mm breaks at around 18lb, the 0.38mm at 22lb and the 0.40mm version at 24lb. Many other high abrasion lines have an opaque base that makes them stand out in the water, but Low-Viz Green Hydro-Tuff's unique copolymer mixture maintains the base transparency, ensuring it is hard to spot even when fished tight in mid water. Hydro-Tuff has a steely finish thanks to its controlled stretch. This gives a crisp and ultra responsive feel when casting out, and helps when feeling the lead down on the drop. Available in the following breaking strains in Low-Viz Green on 4oz spools: - 10lb - 12lb - 15lb - 20lb
