Ultima International are becoming one of the major players in the over populated world of Monofilaments and braided lines designed and suitable for all general fresh water angling situations. Possibly the most important piece of monofilament used by any angler is the hook length, if this is wrong then your chances of landing any fish will be greatly reduced. One product that on first impressions is well worth a second look is the Power Match. As with all lines from Ultima, the Power Match has a very consistent as well as precise diameter, whilst also offering incredible knotting strength. 

As well as all the attributes listed above, the Power Match also offers a greatly reduced stretch factor of only 21%, which is very low even by the standards set  by the better quality high tech monofilament currently available. This minimal stretch give the Power Match exceptional fish playing control features which is a major asset to the more experienced anglers reading this. Although it has been designed to be a hook length or rig that will give the angler assured out and out strength, the Power Match is strong enough to be used as a designated reel line for all heavy float or light to medium short range feeder work.

First Impressions

Over the next few months and as soon as the ice allows us to fish, the UKMA team will put this very highly rated line through its paces to see just what it can handle. On first impressions, I personally think it has all the attributes that will make it suit all big fish feeder and waggler hook length requirements to a T. The Power Match sells for the very competitive price of £3.99 for 100m, which is superb value for money. Watch this space for the full UKMA on the bank tests that will follow as soon as we can get out on the bank and put the Ultima Power Match properly through its paces.
