Carbon fishing line in the field of fishing, one of the modified PA lines, the scientific name is "fluorocarbon composite line", abbreviated as PVDF in English. "Carbon wire" is made of fluorocarbon resin compound, its elongation at break is 18~20%, it is extremely difficult to stretch in daily use, and the loss of strength after water absorption is very small, and the test is performed after soaking in water for 10 hours , its average linear strength can reach about 97% of its linear strength in the dry state. The specific gravity is as high as 1.8, and the water is cut very fast, but when fishing in deep water, the float mesh may change.
1. Characteristics of carbon fishing line
●Sensitivity
The hardness of carbon thread is higher than that of nylon thread and power horse thread, which is because it contains a large amount of carbon element. Because of this hardness and "straight" characteristics, it is often used in long-range fishing. Because there is a long distance between the bait and the fishing rod during long-distance fishing, if other fishing lines with higher flexibility are used, the signal conduction will be weakened very seriously.
●Water cut
Due to the high carbon element contained in the carbon wire composition, its specific gravity is much larger than that of water, and its water cutting speed is very fast.
●Refractive index
The refractive index is close to that of water, so it is not easy to be detected by fish. It is also called "shadowless line". In actual fishing activities, this highly concealed feature is widely used in the leading lines of lure fishing and rock fishing.
●Scalability
The carbon element in the carbon wire is higher, and its ductility after being stretched is lower, and its ductility is between the nylon wire and the PE wire.
●memory
Carbon wire has strong memory, high hardness, and is not easy to be twisted. After being disturbed by external force, it is easy to restore its original state.
●UV resistant
Carbon wire also has the characteristics of strong UV resistance, strong acid resistance, strong alkali resistance, etc., and it is not easy to age for a long time.
●Abrasion resistance
Carbon wire has extraordinary wear resistance. When fishing carnivorous attack fish, it is often the first line of choice. In sea fishing, due to the existence of sharp obstacles such as reefs, the use of carbon lines cannot be shaken.
●Intensity
The linear strength of carbon wire is much greater than that of nylon wire. Because the carbon wire fully reflects the characteristics of the carbon element, its hardness is high. When the carbon wire is knotted, it can be soaked with water, because the dry carbon wire will generate heat when rubbing the knot, and it is easy to break.
2. Scenario application of carbon fishing line
Fishing for carnivorous fish (the upper and lower lips have teeth), sea fishing (reef anti-wear), freshwater long-range fishing (signal conduction), etc.
3. The method of testing the memory of carbon fishing line
When inspecting the memory of the carbon wire, the sampling inspection personnel of the manufacturer, the basic operation method is: first use the fingernail to pinch the fishing line, and quickly scrape the fishing line in the same direction. At this time, the thinner carbon wire will definitely show a "screw roll" shape, while the thicker carbon wire will show a continuous large roll shape. After the fishing line is set, tighten the ends of the carbon line that have not been scraped by hand, and pull the fishing line hard to make the fishing line bounce a few times. At this time, the high-quality carbon line can be restored to the greatest extent. Flat and straight status. In other words, the memory of the carbon thread is really excellent. Just now it remembered that people rolled it with their fingernails, and now it immediately remembers that people want to stretch it.
Experienced fishermen know to use this characteristic of carbon line. After the bait and line are submerged in the water, they can quickly raise the tip of the rod and twitch the line group, which is using the resistance of the water to "wipe" to eliminate the curling memory produced when the carbon wire is wound around the wheel.
4. The method of distinguishing nylon thread
When simply identifying carbon thread and nylon thread, you can take out a section of the thread and burn it with fire. If the fishing line is automatically extinguished after the fire is removed, the fracture is black, twisted with your fingers, and black toner stains after touching, then the fishing line is a fluorocarbon composite line (when burning the line with fire, do not smell the burning line Smell, that is because the smell of this substance after burning is highly toxic to the human body, and the human body cannot decompose itself after inhalation). If the fishing line is still burning after the fire is removed, and the molten material falls in the form of water droplets, the color of the fracture is lighter, and the yellow granular material appears, then the fishing line is a monofilament nylon line.
