Shout Bobbin Knotter

Product Information

Feel the ultimate knot in your hand.
The strongest line system that surpasses the other line systems has been developed in Nagasaki. It is called ‘PR Knot’. In terms of combination of PE line and leader, there are no better knots than this. The most powerful PR knot machine is called ‘Bobbin Knotter’.

The material of the leader that is made of Nylon and Fluorocarbon is monofilament (single line), whereas the main line, PE line, is braided (stranded) line. How to bind these two materials together? It took long time to figure that out. PE is a bundle of high polymer polyethylene fibers (Dyneema) and it shows the highest strength when each fiber has been applied with the same burden. However, when PE with 2 to 3% of elasticity is combined with a leader, it is really difficult to put even burden on all of the fibers. The main cause of decrease in the strength of line system lies here. It sometimes happens that even the fibers are half-stretched, the other half do not get any burdens at all, and in that case, the strength will be halved as well. Moreover, since high polymer polyethylene is so hard, there is a reason that the material is used as stranded line. If single line, or monofilament, is used, it will easily be broken when it is bent. Less elasticity means it is hard. PE is the line, which cannot be used as a single line, brings the flexibility out by making it thin and combine it together. However, the hardness of the line remains the same even making it thin. The strength of the line decreases dramatically when it is bent. All jiggers know the fact that the line breaks when it has a bump in middle of PE line. The bump caused by a knot on PE line, which is bent at acute angle, breaks rather than snaps. I want you to think that do PE line bent sharply in the existing line systems?
A knot that can solve the weakness of PE line has been developed by Mr Harada of an Outdoor Shop ‘Pack Rat’ in Nagasaki. The knot named ‘PR knot’ has been spread all over the country by Mr Iwasaki, who is a captain of Koryo-maru in Hirado, home of Hiramasa (Kingfish) fishing.
The PE line, which has been winded gently to a leader without bending it by Bobbin Knotter, makes each fibers stretched evenly, and after that, it is winded back closely and locked by spin of the Bobby Knotter. There are no factors that the line’s strength is decreased. In few years time, most of the anglers who love jigging will use the PR knot and challenge for the big ones to make their dreams come true.
