Nylon overview

Plain nylon, copolymer nylon and fluoro-coated nylon differ in formulation or surface structure. Fluoro-coated nylon is not 100% fluorocarbon, and copolymer is not one universal recipe.

  1. Subtypes — Plain nylon, copolymer nylon and fluoro-coated nylon differ in formulation or surface structure. Fluoro-coated nylon is not 100% fluorocarbon, and copolymer is not one…
  2. Diameter and sensitivity — Stretch can soften long-distance fine control, but nylon still transmits force. This project's default for precise bottom contact is PE or suitable fluorocarbon…
  3. Water and conditions — Ordinary nylon is denser than water although surface effects can hold it up temporarily. Choose colour by background and line-watching needs; neither invisibility nor…
  4. Rigs and use — Consider suitable nylon where cushioning and handling matter, including some treble-hook surface presentations or backing. Do not prescribe it for every crankbait or…
  5. Care and trade-offs — Water absorption, wear, storage and sunlight affect performance. Inspect actual condition rather than imposing one replacement calendar. A fluoro surface does not erase…
