Platypus fishing lines - Australia's strongest since 1898

Platypus Fishing Line: Australia's strongest fishing line since 1898

Fishing Line Hard Alloy Leader™

Platypus Hard Alloy Leader™ is the ultimate leader for the discerning angler.

It is manufactured in Australia using a unique blend of nylon polymers to produce an ultra-hard alloy for the ultimate in abrasion-resistance.

We have selected specific polymers for their high-tensile strength and high abrasion-resistance properties. By combining these polymers we are able to produce this unique leader.

Platypus Hard Alloy Leader™ is one of the only leaders in the world produced with a matte finish to reduce glint under the water.

Platypus Hard Alloy Leader™ has been sold into the US market as a private brand for some time and has build a considerable following amongst fly fishers around the world.

  • Unique formulation of raw materials to give high impact strength and superior abrasion-resistance
  • Improved abrasion-resistance compared to regular leaders
  • Lower elongation (stretch) for better lure presentation and improved hook up rate
  • 100% Australian made, owned and operated
