Extreme HQ Fishing Line

X-treme is a high quality nylon mainline and the response of Pro Line on the question whether a pure fluorocarbon mainline could still be improved. The X-treme line is extremely clear, so you barely see it running through the water. Unlike Fluor Carbon, which gets dirty very fast, the line stays much clearer over a long period. In addition, the line is also extremely supple, making it much less likely to kink (e.g., when dropping your rig while using a bait boat) and allowing you to cast much further.

These qualities are combined with an unmatched durability. Thus, this line is extremely abrasion resistant and incredibly strong, making it extremely reliable. The line doesn’t have that much stretch, allowing bites over a large distance being properly transmitted. Finally, this line has a very high specific gravity, making it sink fast to the bottom of the lake bed. Where, by its flexibility, it will follow the contours of the lake bed much better.

Hooklink

The very flexible and abrasion resistant Fast Sinking Hooklink comes in two different colors, Camo Brown and Camo Green and they will blend in on any lakebed. The material is extremely supple and sinks immediately, making it very difficult to detect by wary carp. In every situation you can rely on the quality of the FS Hooklink.

Brisky - Single Swim

Its depth varies from 3 to 9 feet with hard floor all the way along the two margins and a silty ground in the middle. It’s a one man swim located not far from the entrance of the lake. It’s cut off from the other swims and is generally where carp pass seeking the quietest part of the lake. Lily pads on each side and opposite along the margins maximize your chance of catching fish.
