Tict Joker Ester Monofilament

The Tict Joker is an ultra-fine, ester monofilament line, in widths that a few years ago we could not imagine it is possible to fish with. The Tict Jocker has unprecedented sensitivity and stretching properties, as low as that of a PE line.

The properties of ester lines have revolutionized the world of finesse and ultra light fishing. An ester line has all the good qualities of a monofilament/fluorocarbon line (relative invisibility, smoothness, strength in case of scratching on rocks) , all the good qualities of braided line (unsurpassed sensitivity, immediacy of information delivered and received, immediacy while setting the hook) without the negative properties of each one.

Plus, Joker does not absorb water and exhibits wear resistance close to that of fluorocarbon. The surface is hard and sturdy, resistant and persistently smooth and round.

The Tict Joker monofilament exhibits the same performance as a PE line, it has the specific weight of a fluorocarbon and the light weight of the jig head keeps the line stretched at all times. At the same time the line creates such little resistance, that allows the jig head to move and sink freely, is less susceptible to the effects of wind, and has an extremely fine distance that allows it to cast even lighter lures.

Any reaction to your bait, is instantly transmitted from the end of your line, to the tip of your rod.

But there is also another side to this amazing product by Tict. One that demands finesse in handling and experience:

• On the packaging there are instructions on how to complete the “triple eight” tying knot, that Tict suggests to use in case we need to adjust our line in conjuction with leaders, or to use a big stretch of Joker Line (many metres in such a case) as a long leader.
• Because the Tict Joker is a very fine line, please allow the drag force to be close to loose, even after a fish is caught. This goes without saying as Joker is used with the most finesse of equipment.
• Since it is a material with very low stretching properties, Tict alsο recommends using a fluorocarbon, or nylon shock leader to handle sudden tension. Either way, with the correct drag adjustment, we can use the line directly.
• Also, when winding No. 0.4 and No. 0.5 on the reel, apply a little tension and wind slowly.
