Riverge Fluorocarbon, world's strongest Fluorocarbon from Kureha Cemicals.
"Polyvinylidenfluorid" is the chemical name for a very innovative leader material for fly fishing. We are talking about knotless, drawn leaders and tippet material in different sizes. Fluorocarbon material was develop for pipeline construction and is very resistant against saltwater. 25 years ago Kureha Chemicals began the development of fishing lines of Fluorocarbon for the japanese longlinefishing industry which needed a strong line to withstand weeks in saltwater. Today there are many different Fluorcarbon lines on the market. But without a doubt, the best leader material, worldwide, from Kureha Chemicals is our Grand Max. Absolute top knot strenght and breaking strenght. Fluorcarbonmaterial has many advantages over Nylon. Our leaders do not absorb any water, as opposed to Nylon, which will absorb water and thereby loses up to 40% of its strenght. It is no wonder then, at the end of a long fishing day, a 11 inch trout breaks your leader!
