(PRICE w/o GST) - X-BRAID FC ABSORBER TIGHT KNOT 30M
The X-BRAID FC Absorber Tight Knot (30m) is a premium-grade, 100% fluorocarbon shock leader manufactured in Japan by YGK (X-Braid). It is specifically engineered for anglers who require maximum knot security and heavy-duty abrasion resistance when connecting braided mainlines to their leaders.
Here is a breakdown of its core features, material specifications, and available sizes:
Key Features & Performance
-
Enhanced Knot Strength ("Tight Knot"): Through a proprietary manufacturing process, this leader balances high tensile strength with specific flexibility. This prevents slipping and minimizes strength degradation when tying complex system knots (such as FG knots or PR knots) as well as direct connections to lures.
-
High Abrasion Resistance: It features extreme wear-and-tear resistance, making it an excellent choice for fishing around harsh structures like jagged rocks, reefs, or shellfish beds.
-
Low Memory & Kinking: It resists coiling and curling off the spool. This low-memory profile ensures straighter tracking, better lure presentation, and stable hooksets during hard fights.
Technical Specifications
