Product Information
Full details
The Daiwa N'Zon Sinking Feeder Mono is designed for serious feeder anglers who require a discreet, high-performance main line that sinks rapidly to stay out of the way of feeding fish. It offers an excellent balance of suppleness and strength, making it ideal for precision feeder work, though users should note that as a monofilament, it does have more inherent stretch compared to braided main lines.

FAQs
Is this line suitable for long-distance casting?
Yes, its supple nature aids in smooth casting, though its diameter will impact total distance compared to thinner lines.
How do I use the 150m marker?
The mark indicates the midpoint of the spool, allowing you to wind exactly 150m onto one reel, leaving the remaining 150m for a second reel.
Does this line have much stretch?
As a monofilament, it possesses moderate stretch, which helps absorb the shock of fighting fish but provides less direct contact than braid.
Is it safe to use in saltwater?
While it is designed for feeder fishing, always rinse your gear with freshwater after saltwater use to prevent corrosion on your reel.
Why is the line brown?
The dull brown color is chosen for its ability to blend into the natural substrate of the lake or river bed, making it less visible to fish.
How often should I replace the line?
This depends on usage, but you should replace it if you notice memory, fraying, or reduced knot strength.
Troubleshooting
Line twisting during casting
Ensure the line is being wound off the spool in the same direction it is being wound onto the reel. Use a line swivel to reduce spin.
Knot slipping under pressure
Ensure you are using the correct number of turns for your knot and always moisten the line before tightening.
Line not sinking as expected
Ensure the rod tip is submerged after casting to help break the surface tension, or use a line sinker if necessary.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, spool the line onto your reel under light tension to prevent twisting. Always use a knot suitable for monofilament, such as a Grinner or Palomar knot, and moisten it with saliva before pulling tight to maximize knot strength.
Care instructions include storing the spool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation. After fishing in silty or abrasive conditions, it is recommended to check the first few feet of the line for nicks or abrasions and re-tie your rig if any surface damage is detected.
