Shimano Technium 5000 m

For years, anglers have relied on Technium lines for their strength, reliability, and casting properties. Their dark color makes them nearly invisible, and new Japanese technologies have allowed Shimano to produce a thinner yet stronger line. The Triple Core technology of Technium monofilaments has always made them some of the best lines on the market. With the new Japanese technology, the line is not only thinner but also stronger. A three-layer monofilament offers excellent strength, but that's not all. The elasticity is very low at around 12%, while other lines on the market have an elasticity of about 25%. This allows Technium to achieve longer casts and better bite detection. It also sinks very quickly. The second layer gives this monofilament a flexibility that can be felt the moment it is unspooled. The low memory enables you to effortlessly achieve long casting distances as well as improved bite detection. The final, ultra-thin layer provides a very soft finish and UV protection, resulting in a longer lifespan for the monofilament.
