Trout Competition Fluorocarbon is a highly technical leader line made from 100% fluorocarbon. With a refractive index very close to that of water, in clear conditions it offers a noticeable advantage when compared to other ‘normal’ mono leaders when fishing for wary trout in heavily fished waters. With their highly developed sense of sight trout can often be difficult to fool, especially in clear water conditions, or on fisheries that see a lot of fishing. These are the exact reasons why Shimano have developed the Trout Competition Fluorocarbon leader line. You’ll immediately notice how soft and supple this fluorocarbon line feels, and how strong it is for the diameter, but what you won’t see is how invisible it is under water or how abrasion resistant it is to the sharp teeth of even the smallest trout. But use it for a while and you will almost certainly see an improvement is bite numbers and the increased amount of fish you are catching. The Trout Competition Fluorocarbon is suitable for all types of modern trout fishing. Area trout, native trout, commercial trout and even fly fishing for trout, no matter what your chosen method or venue, the Trout Competition Fluorocarbon will give you the edge you need to fool the hardest to catch trout. Unlike many fluorocarbon lines, the Trout Competition Fluorocarbon is remarkably supple, which maximises the action of any lure or bait you are using, whilst retaining the strength and robustness to overcome the hardest fighting trout in any situation.
