  • PLATINUM HELIX HCB IS HERE

    September 28, 2011

    The serious angler looking for low stretch, great sensitivity, high strength and extra casting distance should look no further!!!

    The Platinum Helix HCB is an ultra-fine PE line specially designed for you! Inspired by DNA molecules, Platinum Helix is produced using a state-of-the-art, triple intertwined PE fiber technology that replaces the traditional braiding techniques of most multifilament lines. Not only can you get lines as fine as 0.08mm, it is also cheaper allowing more traditional nylon mono anglers to fish with the benefits of braid.

    With extensive research and development going into FirstDart’s new Homogeneous Compound Bonding (HCB) process, you are well assured of line integrity. Combining the properties of thermal bonding technology on a helix construction, HCB produces a smooth and reliable line that acts and feels like a monofilament but with exceptional strength!

    Platinum Helix HCB is

    • High Strength
    • Great Sensitivity
    • Round and Smooth
    • Easy to Cast
    • Surprisingly Affordable
