-
Mussel resistance: Sharp edges do not damage it
-
Longer service life: Even in difficult conditions
Rapid Sinking
The Kontour sinks rapidly because:
-
Density higher than water: 1.78 g/cm³ vs 1.0 g/cm³
-
Sinks faster than mono: About 70% faster
-
Adheres to the seabed: Follows the profile perfectly
-
Invisible line: Lying on the bottom

Kontour Fluorocarbon is perfect for:
-
Clear Waters: Where Maximum Invisibility Is Needed
-
Wary carp: In pressured lakes
-
Short leaders: 30-50cm for maximum discretion
-
Shock leader: Superior abrasion resistance
-
Obstacle Courses: Where Stamina Is Needed
-
Invisible Terminals: When Every Detail Counts
Resistance at the Upper Node
The Kontour offers excellent knot strength:
- Reliable seal over 90%
- Compatibility with complex nodes
- Total safety during combat

- Smooth and precise throws
- Consistent performance over time
UV resistance
Fluorocarbon does not degrade:
-
No deterioration: With exposure to the sun
-
Consistent performance: Even after months
-
Superior Durability: Compared to monofilament
-
Long-lasting investment: Maintains the characteristics
Available Diameters
Available in different diameters for every need:
-
Thin diameters (0.30-0.35mm): Short leaders and terminals
-
Medium diameters (0.40-0.45mm): Shock leader and general use
-
Large diameters (0.50mm+): Maximum resistance in extreme spots
How to Use It
As a short leader:
- Cut a length of 30-50cm
- Connect to the main line with an appropriate node
- Add the terminal to the end
- Maximum invisibility guaranteed
As a shock leader:
- Use lengths of 2-3 times the rod (7-9 meters)
- Connect to the main line with Albright or Blood Knot
- Superior abrasion resistance
Advantages vs. Monofilament
Kontour Fluorocarbon:
- Total invisibility in water
- 200% higher abrasion resistance
- Sink quickly (70% faster)
- It does not degrade with UV
- No water absorption
Monofilament:
- Visible in water
- Normal abrasion resistance
- Slow or no sinking
- It degrades with UV
- Absorbs water (loses resistance)
200 Meter Reel
With 200 meters of Kontour you can create:
-
Short 50cm leaders: Approximately 400 leaders
-
8 meter shock leader: Approximately 25 leaders
-
Mix of uses: Leaders and terminals
Tips for Use
- Always wet the knots before tightening
- Use fluorocarbon specific knots (Palomar, Improved Clinch)
- Check regularly for abrasions
- Replace after sessions in difficult spots
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid overly complex knots
Compatibility
Works perfectly with:
- All main lines (mono, braid)
- All carp fishing terminals
- Leads of all weights
- Clear Water Setup
Maintenance
To keep your fluorocarbon in perfect condition:
- Rinse with fresh water after use
- Dry completely before storing.
- Store away from direct light
- Check the resistance periodically
