Every time we buy a reel or that we need the replacement of wire returns the eternal dilemma Plaited wire or nylon?
Let's do a bit of clarity on these two materials that play well their work but in a completely different way.
THE NYLON
Above all is a textile fibre for the production of clothing and small artefacts that working more or less every day, is very elastic, hard and very well resists abrasion, used by 90% of fishermen. As regards the Carpfishing diameters ranging from the most used 0.30 to 0.40, but in some occasion there goes also to 0.45 attending places where we need to protect by the abrasion, see prism it and fishing near reeds and submerged obstacles.
Now we see what are the characteristics of nylon merits and defects.
MERIT:
Flexibility enables us some distraction not letting the fish lose usually has a stretch that goes from 10% to 15%.
Usually sinned is therefore good as mimicry and couching on the bottom does not collect everything that floats and brings us the current.
Excellent held abrasion, low memory, and especially low cost.
FAULTS:
To have a high tensile strength should rise with the diameter, losing metres being launched. If we need to make long throws there remains that decrease the diameter of the wire coil and rely to a shock leader.
Minor sensitivity when fishing long-distance because of its elasticity.
When making nodes and well remember wet it with spittle to avoid overheating and weakening near the node.
The relatively short duration and especially now that our waters are not as can say Fit for swinging, but just replace it often or when making a knot dry and pulling breaks easily, because weakened by ultraviolet rays and filths that there are water .
I am smiling when our old attacking a carp and destroyed the wire was a monster they said I broke a 0.60, was at least 8 years that the wire was not replaced.
Peach always in the great river PO, use a 0.40 and carp of a certain weight I assure you that I attachable some, but I never broke the wire is virtually impossible, if not ground I cuts with the fin that has on the back (Dorsal fin).
THE WIRE
Now for some years have appeared on the market dyneema yarn, a synthetic fiber used for the construction of cables compared to steel cables, much lighter, has an exceptional resistance and zero elasticity, with the addition of Kevlar is also used for construction of armour.
MERIT:
High tensile strength with low diameters therefore easy to reach high distances being launched. Elongation zero therefore ideal for long-distance fishing where the signal of the bait is immediate. Having a small diameter is possible to double in the wire coil reel from 200 meters to 400. The length of braid and considerably more than nylon but tends to fade and the shares into contact with the fish say the last 3 meters tends to fray while not completely losing his honour which is the tensile strength. Excellent liable for node without moisten.
FAULTS:
Cost high, even if it is well above the Nylon If you do not have canes right and works of the clutch lose fish is around the corner, the braid not forgive, while nylon something allows.
Beware of rubbing the obstacles is his weak point, although lately it seems that things are improving.
Poor sinking with all the consequences that this entails, especially when fishing in the river where the current continues to lead filth on line doing do belly and moving the bait, although now add Kevlar fibres seem to sink more, but in my opinion trust and good not to trust is better, even if there is written on the packaging sink try to soak in a container with water and you will see that surprises.
Finally I left one thing that is not written anywhere, perhaps because those who normally reviews on products not tested the braid into river, the braid whistles, rings, whistles and vibrates, and I assure you that I have tested with three types Who more diverse and less people have this defect, then after test a year I decided my despite returning to the old and dear nylon, not whistles allows you some distraction and costs much less, now you'll decide what to put on the coil reel.
