Ultima Hard Core Specialist Hard Monofilament

Hard Core, super hard mono is another major development in monofilament design from Ultima. With a completely new raw material and special extrusion technology, we now produce the hardest line on the market. Not only is it very strong, but it has an extremely high knot of over 75%, and even more remarkable is the outstanding abrasion resistance that is over ten times more than one can expect from a high quality mono.

Hard Core was originally designed for leaders for predatory fish such as the pike, zander and even baracuda, but this new and totally unique product is being used for new applications all the time.

Great success has also been had with use as a rubbing leader for carp and sea fishing, where this line stands up to high abrasion conditions like nothing else. Direct contact is incredibly positive with a stretch factor of only 8% being much more akin to braid (3%) but still offering just that little bit more give to reduce the chance of a snap off.
