Shimano say: Silk Shock offers:
Tested for over a year by Alan Scotthorne it has simply out performed anything in it’s class in terms suppleness and strength, as Alan often remarks “it’s so soft”. Try this easy test: Pull a measured length of line from dispenser through a gentle grip of finger and thumb, this will warm and charge up the molecules, hold line taught for a couple of seconds as it cools. Ultegra Silk Shock now hangs perfectly straight it is no longer bears any relation to the line that was tightly coiled around a small spool only seconds ago. See diagram. The way it feels to the touch of an international angler of Alan’s calibre is actually a very accurate indication of how it will perform under the water. Years of top flight match experience has taught Alan what is right and what isn’t. His knowledge is probably more a science and yet his maxim of : Natural bait presentation = more bites = more fish, is a simple enough philosophy. Presentation is, of course, a primary consideration but when rig line and hooklinks are subjected to the repeated process of stretch and slackening some high tech lines deteriorate and weaken as the molecular structure changes. Using Silk Shock technology Shimano have come up with a line that delivers outstanding performance and specifically designed to be highly durable in very demanding situations. Ultegra Silk Shock is supplied in compact handy dispensers that fit neatly and unobtrusively into smallest seat box drawers or tackle boxes. Each ergonomic dispenser comes complete with a flip top lid which is 100% dust and grit free when fully snapped shut. The dispenser also has an internal line cutter which also traps the line in place ready for future use. The translucent plastic material blocks harmful UV rays from the sun and guarantees that Ultegra Silk Shock always remains in pristine condition. Diameter/Breaking Strain
