If you think about it there really is nothing as fine as frog hair. At a recent media event at the world famous Rend Lake Resort Dale Black, President of Black Knight Industries, expounded on the advancements his company has developed in the line of leaders and tippets. This PA company has become a leader in the field of fly fishing line technology. How? They use of Nanotechnology manipulation of matter at incredibly small sizes. For example a piece of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. The technology allows for the development of higher strength structured materials.
This technology is part of a new wave of innovation in science and engineering that is enabling the development of a generation of materials that are stronger, lighter and more durable than ever found before.
The line begins with the molecular structure strong and stiff due to highly aligned long chains of molecules created by extrusion and drawing. After a Gamma Processing the long chain molecules are broken down and millions of intermolecular bonds cross link creating a structure stronger and more flexible.
The end result is monofilament line with a higher strength to diameter with a built in shock resistance. The subtle line still maintains a high knot strength that maintains maximum fish fighting capability. The company is so confident that it’s fishing leaders and tippets are the best performing products available that they have a money back guarantee.
