Sunline's patented technology "Plasmarise" has succeeded in forming a hard polymer layer on the surface of the line.
Like glass, it is scratch-resistant, and fluorocarbon leader is truly worthy of inheriting the name "Hard" has been completed.
Apart from human error such as bad knots and sudden shocks, most of the time the line breaks due to fish teeth and abrasion. Once a line is scratched, it will be cut sooner or later no matter what kind of thread it is. So it is best if you can avoid getting the line scratched by allowing the line to slip before the "wound" gets in. The new V-hard reforms the surface of the line into a highly slippery polymer layer by plasma rise. It transforms the surface of the line into high-hardness glass. As a result it allows the line to slip before the "wound" enters improving abrasion resistant greatly.
Up until now, the stronger the coating is in fluorocarbon leader, the better the abrasion resistance. However if the coating is increased, the suppleness of the leader is lost by that amount. If you lose your suppleness, the fish will not be able to swallow the bait well and it will be difficult to tie knots.
However the new V-Hard has succeeded in reforming the surface to thin and hard while maintaining the suppleness against bending as the conventional product.
Technology
Non-stress spooling
A pincushion method that does not put stress on the line when spooling. By winding with non-tension, a non-stress method is adopted that makes the most of the characteristics of the line.
It demonstrates outstanding performance especially for styles of fishing where elasticity is considered important.
Plasma Rise
Through joint development with Plasma Concept Tokyo Co.Ltd, we realized for the first time in the world the atmospheric pressure plasma continuous treatment of fibrous materials, which has been said to be difficult until now. As a result, plasma treatment to fishing line has become possible and it has become possible to impart various performances. It is an innovative technology with infinite possibilities that can meet the stoic demands of anglers.
No matter how much you play a slip, no one needs a thread that will be cut quickly due to a abrasion. The glassiness of the new V hard makes it difficult for the line to get scratches,
Comparison when scratching the surface with a whetstone
Obviously, plasma processing has less surface changes.
