FC SNIPER
The concept: Back to basics!!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
●With world-class standard as its motto, this super fluorocarbon line has been re-forged from square one, starting from a revamping of the raw material itself.
●Each pound test is designed specifically to maximize the features of the line.
●The last word in fluorocarbon line for bass fishing on the world stage.
An astonishing feeling that overturns the concept of fluorocarbon
●Daisuke Kita's comment
I was 22 to 23 years old when I used FC SNIPER for the first time. Until then, I used
to use various fluorocarbon lines including competitors’ products. It was shocking
when I used FC SNIPER for the first time.
Normally, fluorocarbon lines are stiff. Due to the stiffness, the line can not be putted
in the spool tightly. I strongly remember that it was really soft and easy to use, and I
thought ‘Is this really fluorocarbon?’ Due to its softness, the line can be would tightly
on the spool and has less troubles. As a result, I can use it much longer compared to
other fluorocarbon lines. Recently I take part in tournaments in the U.S., FC SNIPER
is indispensable even in U.S. tournaments that are really tough.
When I participated in JB TOP50 , I used spinning reel a lot and often used 2LB and
3LB as well. In the U.S. I don’t feel the need for such delicate fishing, so I use PE
lines more often for spinning reel , but I still use FC SNIPER for fast moving lures.
The basic part remains same, but I often use 16LB or 18LB in the U.S. while I used to
use 14LB in Japan. It’s difficult to use stiff fluorocarbon for fast moving lures, but
FC SNIPER has no problem even in big size. When it was renewed 4 or 5 years ago,
the coating on the line surface was changed and it became very smooth. I can say
that it’s silky. I don’t feel any friction with guides when I make a cast. I can cast
comfortably while the line is the strongest.
Needless to say, when I repeat casting and retrieving, it is an overwhelming
advantage that it has no trouble and has excellent durability.
However, when fishing in all situations, there are situations where I need to choose
other lines. For example, in fishing banks, or when high sensitivity is needed in deep,
SHOOTER is recommended. FC SNIPER BMS AZAYAKA with high visibility is
indispensable when I fish at short distance in such as reeds or overhang.
One of the reasons why I love SUNLINE is that SUNLINE has variety of options to
choose depending on the situation, even with fluorocarbon alone.
And one of the advantages of SUNLINE is that they have plenty of variations that no
other company can offer, such as 5LB or 18LB.

TECHNOLOGY
-
Triple Resin Processing
Retains its strength and suppleness even when knotted "Triple Resin Processing" is a unique process that fills in the spaces between the molecules with resin. As a result, the line is moisture proof, very slick, and resistant to shock and wear.
-
Parallel spooling
A spooling system which minimizes curling and surface indentation. Feel the difference as the line comes off the spool nice and straight and very smooth.
