Platypus has been making the world's strongest and best fishing lines since 1898! Platypus Pre-test offers confidence that no other line in the world has the guts to do, with the highest test written in black and white on the spool. Every 1000 metres of Pre-test is tested three times. Just because Platypus has been around for over 100 years does not mean that it has remained the same. Platypus is constantly updating techniques, and developing new nylon resins and additives to bring you the best possible nylon monofilament in the world. Platypus Pre-test has an engineered stretch, which acts as a shock absorber for those long battles with trophy fish. Platypus uses its exclusive hard annealing process to provide excellent abrasion resistance, and the reliable quality that comes from the oldest and best fishing line company in the world!

Pretest is a great reliable line! Has good abrasion resistance and is extremely supple and thin! Comes in fluro yellow and clear ive have used for everthing from trolling for spanish on 15kg to bait fishing for bream on 3kg. Would highly recommend!!!

It is Australian made and it has worked for me for more years than I care to remember. You don't need anything fancy to catch bream, whiting and flathead.

Platypus pretest is very clear and difficult for fish to see, so you get more hits. When a pelagic first hits the bait, Platypus pre-test will stretch, unlike braid which is more likely to pull hooks. I have caught mackeral up to 25kg on Platypus 8kg pre-test.

First cast caught a bloody beast, second landed the biggest seaweed fish ive seen, and guess what?No fraid cord to be seen, thi stuff is super strong you could tow a tug boat with the stuff. Negative is its springy, you could jump off buildings with the stuff
Trusted breaking strain for fishing line class. SurfCasts very well from multiplier reels (overheads), Bimini Twists & Slim Beauty knots work well with this line. Recommended.
When chasing line class I trust Platypus pre-test. Sent a sample to IGFA USA for testing as part of a recent record application, all samples passed under as advertised. 💯
I have used this stuff since the 70's and it's great. I use it for Leader material. Works great and cost effective
Great product and it lives up to its name. A strong and reliable fishing line suitable for all round fishing and the pretest strengths are very accurate. I use this line with different strength on all my reels, I would recommend this brand of line for all round general fishing.
Platypus lines have been the preferred line in our family for generations. Quality product at an affordable price - why would you use anything else?
A lot of people now tend to overlook Monofilament Fishing Line, in favour of Braid. Braid definitely has it’s benefits & I do use it,but you should never discount spooling up witha quality Monofilament Fishing Line.Platypus Pretest is a Quality Australian MadeMonofilament Fishing Line, especially in the 2kg to 4kg range. If you want a subtle feel to your line, with a stealthy thin diameter & strongfray resistance, (IGFA Approved) PlatypusPretest is the Smart Fisherman’s Choice!
