MONOFILAMENTMomoi Hi-Catch™“The No. 1 Monofilament in the world”
Momoi products are tested to quality control standards before they are released for suppl y.
Every drum/hank/spool is individually numbered to guarantee a quality control audit trail.
Momoi mono is made with a hard outer core which culminates in extremely high abrasion resistance,promoting Hi-Catch™ abilit y, flexibility and less gear maintenance.
Consistant quality ensures regular mono diameter, which means no weak points, producing less lost fish.
Momoi Hi-Catch™ advantages:
√ Guaranteed breaking strain.√ Best breaking strain for diameter.√ More effective fishing time.√ High catch rate.√ Less gear maintenance.√ Ultimately less cost.
“Mainline/Backbone”Colours available: Clear White, Ice Blue, Blood Red, Sea Green & Smokey Blue.

MAUI MONOFILAMENT - BACKBONE
GOUROCK Hooks and Monofilament
7MOMOI HI-CATCH™ IGFA LINE
“When the guys at Gourock approached me about trialling Momoi monofilament, I must admit I was alittle apprehensive - particularly as I had used my favourite brand without any problems for 10 years.Experience says, “stick with proven formulas for optimum success”. On the other hand, experience alsowhispers “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” So change I did!
The guys provided me with 3kg, 4kg, 6kg and 8kg IG FA nylon in fluoro yellow (the hi visibilitycolour enables us to see the thin line so that we can keep track of hooked fish better and also helps preventboats from running over their own lines when chasing fish). They also gave me 15kg, 24kg and 37kg IG FAin Ice Blue.
For leader material I chose Momoi Hi-Catch 500lb. I noticed something different on the spool. Eachone has it’s own unique number - and not just a batch number either.
In addition, I also chose to try some Momoi fluorocarbon 400lb which I had used when fishing inMadeira. At the time we had been trolling through massive schools of bluefin tuna with very little successbut after switching to fluorocarbon leader, results were almost immediate, with 500lb and 600lb bluefin tunaboated.While fluorocarbon does have many obvious advantages (such as excellent abrasion resistance, sinkingquickly, long life (not susceptible to UV) and it’s near invisibility in clear water situations making it the firstchoice for trolling dead or live baits), it really does perform in a similar manner to Hi-Catch Momoi leaderwhen trolling lures.
Unfortunately, due to weather conditions we were unable to do a lot of live baiting this season, but Icontinued to run Momoi fluorocarbon on one corner of the gear pattern.
Since we changed to Momoi Hi-Catch, we have really fished hard and punished it. The line’s comethrough with flying colours. All line classes have performed extremely well.
I was told that the folks at Momoi have spent countless hours analyzing specific problems that plagueIGFA lines, such as too much stretch, too thin a diameter and ‘cases’ (or outer shells) that are too soft orlimp. Extensive testing has resulted in Momoi developing a truly superior tournament-quality game line.
Friction caused by drag pressure, and sometimes thousands of trips over various guides, usually wearsdown fishing line, but this line has a tough outer ‘skin’ which provides incredible abrasion resistance.Consequently, it lasts longer and holds up under stresses that tournament, charter and record-chasingsituations create.
Momoi Hi-Catch has also arrived at the perfect amount of line stretch for increased hook setting powerand great sensitivit y.
I keep extensive logs on the fish we catch and I know that on one particular set of gear, we caught 20fish without needing to change the top shot, as well as tagging and releasing two blue marlin and a stripie onthe same lure without changing the leader. We checked the leader after each fish (which you should alwaysdo) and found no reason to change.
With all these factors combined, the conclusion is that this mono lives up to it’s claims.

FLUOROCARBON LINE
Fluorocarbon has numerous characteristics that havemade it extremely popular in America. These in-clude a thicker diameter than nylon monofilament,less specific gravity than nylon, a lower refractiveindex than nylon, resistance to any water absorpsionand less stretch than nylon monofilament.
So if you want a line that is extremely abrasionresistant, sinks quicker to where you want to fish, isvirtually invisible in water, maintains it’s breakingstrain in water, resists ultraviolet light and willdramatically improve your catch rate, then wesuggest you give it a go.

HOOK SIZES, PATTERNS AND PARTS
The size of a fish hook is determined by it’s pattern; itis given in terms of the width of the gap of the hook.
The hook sizes of other patterns are bound to differ tosome extent; the reference number of a hook shouldtherefore always be quoted together, and regarded asinseparable.
In the illustration above, the various parts of a fishhook are shown together with their names. The twomost important dimensions of the hook are it’s gapand it’s throat. The hook shown here is a Mustad Salt-water hook. Note the width of the gap, the distancebetween point and shank, and the depth of the throatof the hook. These generous dimensions make for abigger bite, for deeper penetration of the point, andfor better holding power. The weight of the fish iscarried high up on the centre of the bend.
