Rive Hardline Hooklength Line
Hooklength is one of the most vital components of your rigging setup and without the right strain and style of hooklength you’re never going to see your fish successfully landed. The main benefits of hooklengths are two fold. Firstly, as it will have a lower breaking strain than your standard line, should you get caught on any snags whilst you’re playing your fish it will be able to pull and snap your hooklength – ensuring that you don’t cause damage to the fish or your gear, so you’re only ever at risk of losing your rig rather than your entire setup. Secondly, as your hooklength is likely to be thinner than your mainline, so it is less likely to be detected by a wary fish. This could give you the edge on the water, putting you in a better position to entice more captures.
Rive is a brand that really understands that it the small tackle items which could make a big difference on the bank – especially when you consider a vital terminal tackle component such as your hooklength. This is why the brand has worked hard in order to create a hooklength that does everything that you’d demand from a high performance line and more. This Hardline Hooklength has benefited from the kind of innovation which has become synonymous with the Rive brand. It is built on a brand new concept, which combines the properties of traditional fluorocarbon line and monofilament line. This results in a high performance line which has been designed to excel across the match fishing discipline.
The Rive Hardline Hooklength has the kind of stiffness that you would expect from a traditional fluorocarbon line. This ensures that this is a highly responsive line which is resistant to tangles, allowing you to cast or ship out with complete confidence. However, this line also boasts the suppleness of a traditional monofilament line. This ensures that it can move naturally in the water, as well as ensuring that it can mould to the contours of your venue bed. This mix of line qualities ensures that you can enjoy all of the benefits that come with fishing with these two lines, without any of the drawbacks. What’s more, this hooklength is also impressively resistant to abrasion, giving it an impressive knotting strength which ensures that you’ll never have to worry about your rig falling to pieces in the water.
The Rive Hardline Hooklength is available in seven different breaking strains. This means that you’ll be able to use the perfect hooklength for your needs and, as a general rule of thumb, you should always aim to use a hooklength that is at least one pound lighter than your mainline. The lightest hooklength in this range is 1.4lbs, which has a minute 0.07mm diameter. This line then increases in diameter by 0.01mm each time, with the thickest line being 0.14mm and offering a breaking strain of 4.2lbs. Across the range, this line is supplied on a 60m spool. Considering the average hooklength is 12 inches, with many anglers using between 4 inches and 30 inches of line, this hooklength should last you year in and year out on the bank.
