Asso line from Italian manufacturer Gruppo is now available to UK anglers, with a range of main and hooklength lines for fresh and saltwater anglers.
Gruppo has been producing lines since the 1970s and offers and impressive selection of monofilaments and co-polymers and is especially well known for its fluorocarbons and fluorocarbon coated lines.
The Super Fluorocarbon is 100% fluorocarbon and is markedly smooth to the touch, thanks to a new PVDF copolymer and a state-of-the-art extrusion process.
Unlike some fluorocarbons which can be stiff and brittle, Asso Super Fluorocarbon is very supple and soft and boasts good diameter to strength ratios. It also has a little bit of shock absorbing stretch which can be so important on the take. There is a High Stretch version with more stretch if that’s your requirement.
Virtually invisible in water, it comes on 50-metre spools and is an ideal hooklength, tippet or snood choice when low visibility is required. Available in seven sizes from 0.13mm to 0.40mm starting at around £10 for a spool.
Impressive.
