Varivas x9 Avani ’10×10′ : PE0.8

Varivas x9 Avani ’10×10′ : PE0.8 Braid

Overview

Avani series: NEW 9-strand braided line for vertical jigging

Jigging 10 x 10 Max Power PE x9

Exceptionally rapid sinking ensures a direct path through the water to reach the desired depth.

CORE – INPUT: Introducing the x9, a new 9-strand braid structure. This new 9-strand design of 8-strands braided around an inner core results in unparalleled durability. Optimumly balanced for both flexibility and reinforced strength. This advanced braid design not only mitigates line compression from tension and pressure but also guarantees a secure and confident encounter, even when battling larger fish.
New and improved SP-T II coating: Substantially enhances durability and minimal water absorption; surpassing the resilience of VARIVAS’s conventional SP-T coatings. Advanced water repellency contributes to superior performance, ensuring exceptional outcomes.
NEW Vertical Braid design redefines the fishing experience: Exceptional straight-line, vertical jigging performance. Impressive ultra-low stretch rate of approximately 3% . Drastically reduced line slack. Enhanced fall rate and sensitivity. Resulting in more immediate and responsive feel during jigging maneuvers.

Summary

- Measured Ave Diameter: 0.169mm (110.46% of claimed 0.153mm)
- Out of Roundness: 0.037mm (21.9% variation in diameter)
- Measured Maximum Break: 13.71 lbs (76.17% of claimed 18 lbs)
- Measured Stretch @ Break: 1.84%
- Abrasion Maximum Break: 4.42 lbs (32.24% of max break)
- FG Knot Maximum Break: 12.23 lbs (89.2% of max break)

A fantastic overall result from this Varivas line. Abrasion resistance results were below average, but outright tensile strength and the FG knot performance were both exceptional. A Strain (stretch) value of 1.84% average at maximum break is extremely low and suggests this line would be very sensitive in real-world use.
