Description

SUNLINE SIGLON PE ADV X8 BRAIDTURQUOISE BLUE150M

Siglon PE ADV (advanced) takes the original Siglon PEx8 to the next level thanks to the latest manufacturing process, making it superior in its water repellency, strength, slickness and abrasion resistance.

Water repellency

Sunline compared the water repellency between Siglon PEx8 and Siglon PE ADV. When a water drop was placed on to the original Siglon PE the drop soaks into the line (which is normal for PE lines). However Siglon PE ADV shows an excellent repellency due to a special resin that penetrates deep into the fibre. This technology is the first in the industry which Sunline named Deep Resin Technology (DRT).Due to the special processing, the water sheds from the line easily, so the line is unlikely to become heavy. That means you can make a long cast every time.Also, the line doesn’t stick to the rod.As a result, you can continue fishing without stress.

Strength

Sunline tested Siglon PE ADV (#0.8). The strength shown on the packaging is 4.5kg (avg.) and 6kg (max.) and they found that as expectedthere is a bit of ‘width’ in strength, but the strength reached the maximum 6kg easily.

Slickness

In the slickness test, Siglon PE ADV12lb (#1) was compared with Siglon PEx8 12lb (#1). The ADV showed an overwhelming difference in the 10g sliding weight test. As you can see from the table, the slickness has been improved by about 25%.

Furthermore, a casting test was carried out on a soccer field.

Abrasion Resistance

An abrasion resistance test was conducted with Sunline’s own self-developed machine.

Siglon PE ADV 12lb (#1) and Siglon PEx8 12lb (#1) was used as was a 50g sinker. The original Siglon PE broke after 135 times whereas ADV didn’t break until after 404 times.
