Berkley IronSilk
Berkley's IronSilk line is not like conventional monofilament. It’s tough as iron, smooth as silk.
Polymer chemists working within the state of the art laboratories at Berkley have discovered a technical breakthrough that allows a way to molecularly reinforce nylon molecules. They refer to this chemistry as "Reinforced Polymer Matrix." The easiest way to visualize Reinforced Polymer Matrix technology is to think of it as being akin to the using of steel rebar to reinforce concrete. Only this reinforcing system is done at the molecular level and is so incredibly complex that not even electron microscopes can detail the process. Berkley IronSilk is the first fishing line ever made using this truly breakthrough technology.
Tough as iron, IronSilk is 200% - 300% more abrasion resistant than other leading tough-lines. The reinforcing network of the line's construction adds greater resistance to nicks, cuts and line wear. Knots tie strong and tight. With IronSilk the angler has the confidence needed to seek aggressive fish that live in impossible locations and are hard fighting on the hook.
IronSilk casts smooth as silk, not because of some slick coating of silicone or fluorocarbon. The smooth feel of IronSilk is due to the reinforcing polymer mixture used to create the line. The low co-efficient of friction allows IronSilk to travel through rod guides 10-25% faster improving casting distance and accuracy. With no line memory like other tough lines, IronSilk lays out flat on the water, giving the angler more control over bait action whether using baitcasting or spinning tackle.
The low stretch of IronSilk creates a sensitivity unlike monofilament yet the line maintains the shock resistance needed for hard hooksets.
We stock IronSilk in low visibility green and in line strengths from 4-pound test to 20 pound test in 330-yard filler spools, 25-pound test in a 275-yard filler spool and 30-pound test in a 250-yard filler spool.
