Wires made of nickel-titanium alloys (NiTi) are becoming increasingly popular in the RAUBFISCHSEKTOR - mainly because of their unique ability to always snap back to their original state even after severe bending. However, there are also disadvantages - namely when "connecting" these nickel-titanium wires to swivels, carabiners, hooks and others. Clamping sleeves are often used for this. Unfortunately, these connections have strongly fluctuating load-bearing capacity values, partly due to the sharp edges of the ferrule. If the ferrule is squeezed too hard, there is a risk of notching at the end of the ferrule (NiTi wires are generally more susceptible to notching than steel wires), which could reduce the load capacity. If the crimp is too weak, there is a risk of slippage, which also leads to a reduction in load capacity. Some companies also recommend "knotting". However, here too, depending on the wire properties, only strongly fluctuating knot load-bearing forces are achieved. In addition, the stiffness of thicker monowires is so great that knotting then becomes very difficult. STROFT NiTi Monowire and STROFT NiTi Polywire solve these problems and are therefore the first choice when it comes to the ultimate predator leader. The connections are quick and easy to make. No additional clamping sleeves, no crimping pliers - a simple clinch knot with 4 wraps is the solution - and with STROFT NiTi (with the thinner wires) it can even achieve a breaking strain of up to 100% of the linear breaking strain!!! This was made possible by a very specific adjustment of the alloy composition to those properties that are desired for predator leaders - namely: maximum bite resistance, super elasticity, optimum (easy) knotability, best possible shape memory (memory), maximum load-bearing capacity/maximum knot-bearing capacity, sufficient stretchability (8%) and reflection-free surface. STROFT NiTi Monowire and STROFT NiTi Polywire fulfill all these properties in an optimal way. A 0.20 STROFT NiTi Monowire, for example, has a load-bearing capacity of 4.2 kg, which is almost achieved even in clinch knots!
