  • The only listing on this shelf that addresses UV — the thing that actually ages line left on a reel

The only mention of sunlight on this shelf

UV-beständigen Pigmenten, die auch bei Witterungseinflüssen nicht so leicht ausbleichen.

Six lines here. One of them thinks about what a summer on a rod rack does.

Read it precisely, though: the claim is about the pigment, not the fibre. A braid that keeps its colour has not necessarily kept its strength, and no listing on this shelf makes the second claim at all.

Why the memory claim is the useful one

A braid with memory comes off the spool in loops. A loop travelling through the rings at casting speed is a wind knot, and a wind knot is either an hour of picking or fifty metres cut off.

This is the only listing that connects the property to the consequence.

Where it can be bought

Germany 18,99 €. No EAN is published, so the reference exists in one market only.
