NEW For 2007:

Super Sinking Copolymer
Frustrated with main lines that spook fish? Seeking a quality sinking mono with the bonus of low visibility? Then look no further. Snyde is a premium grade copolymer that blends in naturally with virtually any background and settles firmly on the bottom. Its superb watery green shade is perfect for still waters and rivers alike.

Do not confuse Snyde with ordinary monofilaments. The formulas for monos differ greatly. Snydes unique chemical recipe is designed for its ability to sink. Anglers who refer to better their presentation by fishing with slack lines will welcome Snyde with open arms. Cast out, tighten the line to break the surface tension and it will readily sink to hug the bottom. Field testers are delighted to report it’s the nearest thing to fishing with a back lead.

Smooth and supple combined with the uniform diameters Snyde is ideal for many angling situations. Abrasion resistance is first-rate. Tested in boulder-strewn rivers and line sapping weed-infested waters, this product will appeal to barbell and carp anglers alike. Do not be fooled by the price, the quality of this outstanding mono compares and exceeds the performance of many more expensive lines on sale.

Snydes alternative breaking strains are great news for those who require more choice or a little bit of extra strength when playing fish. How many times have you hooked a hard fighting specimen that you have to clamp down on to stop it from reaching the snags and wished you had something in reserve?...

...Now you have.

MANTIS DARK

The hooklink that holds more records than Michael Schumacher has had a facelift.
This legendary hooklength needs little introduction having already accounted for three World and many National and International records. This new version fills the gap for those fishing over dark silty areas. Kryston have purposely avoided the mistake of giving this stunning product a solid black finish even though it's easier to do so, why? Because when you look carefully at the colour and composition of silt it is far from black.

A solid black hooklength is possibly the worst choice of colour to use for good presentation. Ask any fly fisherman what is the best early season fly to use for hungry stockies, the answer will be anything as long as it's black. It's by far the best colour to attract attention because it stands out like a silhouette, even over silt!

Silt is decomposed organic matter consisting of weed, leaves, wood and all manner of substances but unlike coal it varies in colour. Tiny highlights can be seen throughout its surface giving a random mottled appearance. It has long been known that Silkworm with its dark grey fragmented finish is arguably the finest and proven super-braid for fishing over silt and for years has been highly recommended by many leading writers.

The finish of Mantis Dark mimics Silkworm and is perfect for presenting bait over silty areas. It has all the advantages and pedigree of its sister products incredible track record. The multi-coating process gives it a tough durable finish and once removed gives you a stunning variety of modern day rig options.

Kryston have often been asked for a black hooklength, we resisted and waited to give you something far better. Mantis Dark is available in 15lb and 25lb BS and retails at  £12-95 per 20mt spool.
