Stroft Running Line
Stroft Running Line is a high-quality running line developed for modern shooting head systems, shooting heads, and interchangeable tip configurations. It offers a unique combination of distance, control, and reliability thanks to its specially developed cross-sectional design.
With the development of STROFT Runningline, a new level of performance has been achieved through an innovative design featuring a rectangular cross-section with slightly convex side surfaces. This construction combines the advantages of different running line types while reducing some of their traditional limitations.
The result is a running line that provides excellent shooting performance with shooting heads, minimal friction through rod guides, and stable control throughout the cast.
Innovative Construction
Traditional running lines are generally produced as either monofilament or braided/polyfilament designs, with each type offering its own advantages and limitations.
Stroft Running Line uses a specially profiled construction where the rectangular cross-section with slightly convex sides creates an optimal balance between:
- Efficient shooting of shooting head systems.
- Reduced friction through rod guides.
- Improved line control and handling.
- Reduced tendency to twist and tangle.
- Excellent sensitivity during fishing.
Casting Performance
Thanks to its unique shape, Stroft Running Line allows more efficient energy transfer from the shooting head into the running line. This helps achieve longer and more controlled casts with less effort.
The line performs exceptionally well with overhead casting as well as different spey and switch techniques when used with compact shooting head systems.
The rectangular profile provides improved grip and handling when stripping and controlling the line, which is especially valuable during long-distance casting.
