This is the first Varivas mono line that we have tested and it has shown to be a nice product. Both the quoted diameter and maximum break values were extremely close to our tested values. This line didnt achieve outstanding results in any single test and it was shown to stretch a significant amount when under load. I am sure this is by design hence the “Shock Leader” labeling.
