The S stands for extra smooth. In fact, when one lets this line run through one?s fingers, in regard to the smoothness of the surface it?s hard to tell it from a monofilament. At the same time this line is also a true braid, without any kind of coating, which as one knows quickly rubs off resulting in a rough weakened line. It?s possible to achieve this smoothness by utilizing a new, particularly fine UHMWPE fibre, together with a new method of braiding in which the fibres are bundled into an increased number of strands. This ?Viel-Strang-Verfahren? (english: multiple-strandbraiding-process) is completely new and was not possible up until now, not only are the number of strands increased, but the angle of braid is also greater. This results in the fibres being less ?bent? than is the case with Type R, but the line is just as round in cross section, compact and tight. Type S acquires thereby a slightly higher breaking strain. Unfortunately, the ultra fine UHMWPE-fibres and the new braiding process are costly. However, Type S will be used wherever only the best equipment is needed. Special Features: Smooth surface Casting properties Suppleness Breaking strain
