Kryston Mantis Dark Braid

Product Description

A solid black hook-length is possibly the worst choice to use for good presentation. Ask any fly fisherman regardless of the depth what is the best early season pattern to use for hungry stockies? The reply will be anything…as long as it’s black! For many years sea anglers have used black lures to great effect when fishing in extremely deep dark water. Black is by far the best colour to attract attention simply because it stands out like a silhouette, yes even over silt! Silt is decomposed matter consisting of weed, leaves, wood & all manner of organic substances, but unlike coal its colour varies widely from location to location. Tiny highlights can be seen throughout its surface leaving a random mottled appearance, so the question is what colour is best when fishing over silt? It has long been known that Silkworm with its dark grey fragmented finish is arguably the finest & proven super-braid for fishing large silty Meres, for years it has been acclaimed & highly recommended by many leading anglers & writers. The finish of Mantis Dark deliberately mimics a dark Silkworm & is purposely designed to present bait over silt & mud. It has all the advantages & pedigree of Mantis’s incredible track record. The multi-coating process produces a tough durable finish &, once removed, gives you a host of modern day rig options to choose from.
