Hi all,
I am developing and testing a braided spectra alternative to the industry-standard stainless trolling wire. I have succesfully adapted braided line to other commercial fishing applications, and I'm just trying to gauge interest in trying a new product. I am starting with the common diameters of 1/16" and 5/64". Breaking strength of the 1/16" is approx. 450#. 5/64" has yet to be tested for break strength, but will be proportionally stronger. Price point will be similar to stainless wire.
I do realize there are many pros and cons of stainless wire, and the same applies to my spectra product. Ultimately it is a matter of personal choice. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, but i do tend to be more open-minded in my approach to fishing and believe in the evolution of things.
I welcome everyone's opinions and feedback. I will also be looking for beta testers in the near future.
Cheers,
Paul
