Producing any line is a question of objectives, decisions and compromise. Higher linear strength is usually at the expense of knot strength and softness. Higher abrasion resistance adversely effects softness. Suppleness and long casting usually effects abrasion resistance.

It’s all a question of striking the right balance. The benefit of being in the line business in all areas is that you come up against all sorts of extreme challenges which have to be overcome. Match lines need great strengths. Hooklengths extreme softness, beach lines extreme abrasion resistance and softness for castability.

The problem producing a great carp line is that it needs it all. That’s why at Ultima we are so pleased with what we have achieved with Power Carp, because we think we have it all in one perfect balance.

Development has been the keyword at Ultima in recent years and our wealth of experience has been brought into play in the development of Power Carp. So much was achieved over the past two years that it took to develop our Power Plus that this has formed an invaluable platform on which other great lines can be developed.

In the last two years we have greatly increased our grass roots feedback from a team of dedicated field testers who have driven us towards new performance levels in our carp lines.

Power Plus is of course a superb carp line and will become a market leader in this field as people realise its versatility. However, some felt that there was a need to develop and even higher specification for the dedicated carp angler and even before Power Plus was finished, a new project was already emerging as a concept in its own right. Power Carp is the result.
