Varivas Avani GT Casting Max Power PE

(1/10) > >>

Andy Rowe:
Anybody tried this line?

Slightly higher claimed average break than the usual GT Max power and slightly less than Super max power version. Comes in 300, 500 and 600m spools depending on the class. The main difference apparently is a coating of "super prime flouride" which claims to reduce friction through the guides. Average breaking on par with the varivas jigging lines, Tuna PE and Big One, so I wonder if it is just this jigging line with the flouride.

Dmitrii Novgorodtcev:
Andy,
Is this new model? I have not found such model on Varivas internet site? May be you mean Varivas Avani Casting PE Max Power?
Anyway, according to their catalogue, all Max Power and SMP models you mentioned (both jigging and casting types) has the same SP-F coating, so it can not be a difference, I think... And the maker also writes that this line is specially designed for casting (though the material is the same Max Power). So, the question "why is the same material with the same coating different in strength depending on the model?" is really interesting. Anyone has an idea?

Andy Rowe:
Hi Dmitrii,

Yep you have the name correct, and your question hits the mark, checking and translating all the definitions on the site give no more clarity.

Dan Colebrook:
So does that mean the gt smp casting is pritty much the same as the 10x10 max power jigging braid without the 10m colour change?

Mark Harris:
The mysteries of Japanese braid manufacturers :).

On a diameter versus breaking strain basis, I had actually always assumed that Varivas Avani GT SMP is more similar to  Varivas Avani Big One jigging braid.  Those seem to the two Varivas braids with the highest breaking strains versus diameter (?) and they are also of course the most expensive.
