Platypus Pre-Test Monofilament Line
Platypus Pre-Test has proven itself as one of the most trusted monofilament lines in the world for sport and game fishing, with over 500 IGFA and ANSA records credited to its name and countless trophy captures worldwide.
What sets Pre-Test apart is confidence. Every 1,000 metres is tested three times, with the highest recorded breaking strain printed directly on the spool—giving anglers absolute certainty when fishing light line classes or pushing gear to its limits.
Engineered and manufactured in Australia, Pre-Test features a higher, controlled level of stretch, designed to act as a shock absorber during sustained battles. This stretch helps maintain connection under heavy load, reduces pulled hooks, and protects knots and tackle when fishing close to breaking strain.
Continual refinement of nylon resins, additives, and manufacturing techniques ensures Pre-Test remains at the cutting edge of monofilament performance. Combined with over 120 years of Platypus fishing line development, the result is a world-class mono with exceptional handling, excellent abrasion resistance, and outstanding knot strength.
Trusted by record chasers and everyday anglers alike, Platypus Pre-Test delivers proven performance when it matters most.
