Product Information
Full details
The Preston Innovations Reflo Fluorocarbon line is designed for dedicated coarse and match anglers who require high-performance, near-invisible terminal tackle for clear water conditions. Its primary benefit is its superior stiffness compared to standard monofilament, which significantly reduces tangles when used for feeder or pole fishing. While it excels in presentation and sensitivity, users should note that the specialized stiffness requires careful knot selection to ensure maximum line strength during intense fishing sessions.

FAQs
Is this line suitable for use as a main line?
While it can be used as a main line, it is specifically optimized for use as a hooklength or feeder link due to its stiffness and diameter range.
Does this line degrade in the sun?
Like all fluorocarbon, it is resistant to UV, but it is best practice to store the spool in a tackle box away from prolonged direct sunlight.
What is the best knot to use?
A well-tied double grinner or a figure-of-eight loop knot generally provides the most reliable connection.
Can I use this for pole fishing?
Yes, its stiffness makes it an excellent choice for pole rigs, particularly when fishing at distance or in windy conditions.
How do I ensure I am using the right diameter?
Select the diameter based on your target species and venue; use the thinner options (0.09mm-0.12mm) for silverfish and the thicker options (0.16mm-0.22mm) for carp.
Troubleshooting
Knot slipping or breaking under load
Ensure you are using a knot suitable for fluorocarbon, such as a double grinner, and always lubricate the knot with water before pulling tight.
Line appearing 'coiled' on the spool
This is normal due to the high stiffness of the material; pull the line through a piece of damp, soft foam or cloth to straighten it before tying your rig.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Near-invisible profile increases bite frequency in clear water.
- Superior stiffness reduces time wasted untangling rigs.
- Highly durable under tension for its diameter.
- Perfect for both feeder and pole fishing applications.
Cons
- Slightly stiffer feel than standard mono might require adjustment to knotting technique.
- Shorter spool length (50m) compared to bulk monofilament spools.
- Performance is optimized for specific conditions rather than as an all-purpose main line.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your Reflo Fluorocarbon, ensure you moisten your knots thoroughly with saliva or water before tightening, as this prevents heat friction damage to the fluorocarbon structure. It is compatible with standard swivels, quick-change beads, and fine-diameter hooks. Store your spool in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation over long periods. When spooling your hooklengths, keep the line under light tension to ensure a smooth, uniform lay on the rig board.
