    ive been having a look through this section and find it quite amazing how many different rig materials people are using, i mean one for silt another for gravel another for weed and so on and so on.. i use 2 hooklink materials (flouro or green braid) for all my fishing regardless of what im fishing over and i catch fish i think were being taken for a ride. buy this its great next month oh this is good buy this what a load of rubbish the magazines are brain washing people and all your doing is lining some ones pockets.. is it just me or am i not alone
  3. Niflor, a composite coating of PTFE and Electroless Nickel, is a process for metals that results in an accurate, low-friction surface that is extremely hard and resistant to wear. TriCemĀ® is one of the most wear & abrasion resistant coatings ever developed. Low friction, self lubricating surfaces. Excellent wear resistance. Good corrosion resistance. Uniform coating thickness. xylan,xylar both contain ptfe and can be sprayed without keying the surface and dont need the heat that teflon does to cure. The above are far superior to just teflon just way more expensive. As for weakness its down to heat alone if you heat metal and cool it in different ways you can make it soft or brittle ..
  4. theres better coatings than teflon i belive that teflon coating hooks is why you get bad batchs of weak/brittle hooks due to the heat involved in applying it if its rushed ect you get problems .. niflor, xylan, ptfe coatings amoung many others just not cost productive enough to justify using them ..
  5. well ill be using what i always use everytime i go aswell i think if people stopped worrying about changing there rigs every week to the latest so called wonder rig they saw in the comics they might have time to think about catching the fish
