Mastiff is Shimano's new fluorocarbon line specifically designed to meet the demands of bass anglers worldwide. Made from high-quality materials that have been tested and verified over a long period of time, Mastiff is known for its exceptional strength and durability, perfect for handling big fish in tough conditions.
One of the key features of Mastiff is its low linear elongation, which allows anglers to feel even the slightest pecking or disturbance on the line. This attribute is important for detecting bites, allowing the angler to set the hook quickly and effectively.
Mastiff is also wear-resistant, making it ideal for use in thick cover. The line possesses a supple feel making it easy to cast and control. Mastiff delivers smooth, responsive performance that anglers can rely on.
Precise manufacturing processes deliver a line with superior suppleness and surface smoothness
The use of 100% fluorocarbon material and strict quality control measures during production ensure a consistently smooth surface that enhances the line's performance on the water.
Mastiff's smooth surface allows for an easy release from the spool and less resistance when passing through guides, resulting in improved casting difference. This smoothness is achieved by rigorous inspection at the factory to ensure an even surface down to just 1 micron, far surpassing the industry standard.
In addition, Mastiff's suppleness enables smooth casting even with light lures and technical casts. This feature makes Mastiff ideal for finesse fishing enthusiasts.
Overall, Mastiff is engineered for long casts, sensitivity feedback, and securing big bites.
A unique processing technology, nanoarmor, increases the binding strength of knots
In addition to being smooth and supple, Mastiff possesses superior binding strength compared to other fluorocarbon lines. While the surface is completely smooth running parallel to the length of the line, Shimano engineers devised a unique nano-surface processing technology called NANOARMOUR, which creates ridges across the outer surface of the line so slight they're undetectable by human fingertips or eyes.
This extremely fine application of concave and convex textures on the outermost layer of the line helps prevent knot-slipping when fighting large fish. Similarly, this minimizes slippage and breakage when using common bass angling techniques like twitching, jerking, and casting large lures.
The concavo-convex NANOARMOUR layer interacting with the overall smoothness of the surface creates a fluorocarbon line with enhanced binding strength. This makes Mastiff an ideal choice for use in all bass angling situations.
Shimano technology and Mastiff: an intersection that increases angler performance
Mastiff is the result of Shimano's extensive research and development efforts to create a high-quality fluorocarbon line that meets the demanding requirements of bass fishing enthusiasts worldwide. By incorporating unique, proprietary technologies such as NANOARMOUR and conducting rigorous quality control, Shimano has created a product that delivers outstanding performance on the water.
When combined with Shimano's other fishing technologies, such as its high-quality rods and reels, Mastiff can help anglers achieve greater success on the water. The line's high binding strength, smooth surface, and supple design make casting, retrieving and fighting fish easier. This helps anglers catch more fish and enjoy a more fulfilling fishing experience overall.
The intersection of Shimano's technology and Mastiff fluorocarbon line enhances anglers' fishing performance. The line's advanced features and high-quality construction make it an excellent choice for those who demand the best from their fishing tackle.
