Crypton Symbios
The secret of the Crypton Symbios success lies in the ultimate
combinations of its advantages over competitors. Symbios is the
fishing line of the highest level level, the ratio of the breaking strength
to the diameter - is the best among the Katran range. This line is
symbiosis of advanced technologies, best properties and highest
characteristics. The innovative technology of light reflection, which
masks the fishing line at the any bottom, is applied. The color of the
CRYPTON Symbios line consists of alternating sections of 50 cm of
NEON color and sections of 50 cm with a color that mimic to the color
of the bottom. The line invisibility at the bottom will not be the case to
be afraid for the fish and at the same time the Neon sections will assist
the fishermen at the playing process.
High knot strength, low stretching coefficient 13-14% and low memory
are another valuable benefits of Crypton Symbios. The line is high
abrasion resistant, smooth, elastic, easily passes through rings, designed
for long distance fishing.
The line is covered by polished surface, which protects
it from dust and dirt, so it stays clean and smooth for
a long time. Every 250 meters you will find special
marks, the aim of which is to support you to spool
exactly 250 meters on your reel. The fishing line is
packed in iron cans, which perfectly protect it from
ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage during
transportation.

The search of best colour combination.
The main idea of numerous experiments is to make the line invisible at the bottom for fish and at the same
time provide the angler possibility to see and control the line. The main goal was to make the line as much
invisible as it was possible underwater. Most promising to reach our goal was colour of Crypton Carp line,
that changes depending on colour of bottom.
To reach the second goal - make the line highly visible for angler we have painted small sections, 50 cm
each in Neon colour.
This combination do not afraid carp, as when the carp swims closer to the fishing line, he does not see it
as a whole line. The fish sees all the time just several non-connected pieces. This does not alarm fish and
allows to swim calmly over the fishing line.

Crypton Carp
Crypton Carp is the fishing line of the highest level level, the ratio of the breaking strength to the diameter
- is the best among the Katran range. The innovative technology of light reflection, which masks the
fishing line at the any bottom, is applied. Above the water, it is almost transparent, and under water it
changes depending on the color of the bottom. The fishing line is almost invisible at the bottom, so it does
not scare away cautious fish.
High knot strength, low stretching coefficient 13-14% and low
memory are another valuable benefits of Crypton Сarp. The line
is high abrasion resistant, smooth, elastic, easily passes through
rings, designed for long distance fishing. The line is covered by
polished surface, which protects it from dust and dirt, so it stays
clean and smooth for a long time. Every 250 meters you will find
special marks, the aim of which is to support you to spool exactly
250 meters on your reel. The fishing line is packed in iron cans,
which perfectly protect it from ultraviolet radiation and mechanical
damage during transportation.

214165 17,50 Lb 7,94 kg 0,331 mm 1000 m
The line qualities are highly important, although the right line colour is also plays the key role. Especially
if the lake is not big and the water in it is transparent. Fish should be free to move and not afraid the line
at the bottom. For such conditions the transparent fishing line is best choice. We are glad to offer almost
transparent fishing line, with unique colour changing ability depending on the color of the bottom. The
fishing line is almost invisible at the bottom, so it does not scare away cautious fish.

Synapse fishing line
You may faced with such situation, where extra long casting is only one solution, especially on carpfishing
competitions. Frightened of big noise fish will never come quite close to the swim, even despite hundreds
of kilograms of baits and boilies. In such conditions i really recommend to use Synapse Neon Line 0.255
mm. I have tried a lot of lines, but made my choice, this line is the best. Smooth and soft, with great fly
potential, has small diameter and what is the most important really strong and durable.

The Neon line was recently trialed by the World Carp Fishing Champions 2014, Croatian team and the
results speak for themselves. In 2015 Neonline was used on World Championship in Spain by 7 national
teams, including Croatian and Serbian teams, who became silver and bronze champions. In Turkey, Bulgaria
and Croatia, Synapse Neon is considering one of the best long casting line with flight performance up to 200
meters. We are proud to be able to announce a brand new concept of 2016 year, in fishing line in the form
of Neon 1000 meters line with wide range of diameters. A smooth florescent monofilament fishing line is
not only much less visible in the water, than any other colourful line, the NEON also reflects light making
this line invaluable when fishing day and especially at night.
Innovative long-casting florescent copolymer sinking fishing
line. Incredibly useful when fishing close to snaggy or weedy
areas, the sight of the line becomes invaluable in these
situations especially when taking into consideration fish
safety.
• Fast sinking with a low stretch coefficient: 12-15%, the Neon sits
nice and snug on the spool and casts out smoothly too
• Anti-abrasive coating with scratch protection
• Nice for bottom fishing on a high distances
• Truthfully declared line diameter
• Innovative night-light reflection
• Superior knot strength
• Best for long casting
• A very low memory

Synapse Eclipse
Innovative neon-black, light-reflective long-casting florescent copolymer sinking fishing line. Incredibly
useful when fishing close to snaggy or weedy areas, the sight of the line becomes invaluable in these
situations especially when taking into consideration fish safety.
Fast sinking with a low stretch coefficient: 12-15%,
the Neon sits nice and snug on the spool and
casts out smoothly too. Combinations of neon and
black colour for ultimate day and night casting and
playing.
• Truthfully declared line diameter
• Innovative night-light reflection
• A very low memory
Our task was to create universal florescent copolymer sinking fishing
line: camouflage for fishing during all 24 hours in combinations with
high eye visibility on night fishing. Using the very same technology that
we utilize in the manufacture of our SYNAPSE NEON we had comes to
completely new level of innovations.
The design of a 2 meter stretch of neon pigment coupled with a 50
cm stretch of black pigment mean that upon retrieve the ECLIPSE
will become visible when caught by the light of a head torch. Synapse
ECLIPSE was indeed a product worthy of our range, using the line at
night became a must and by flashing your head torch beam across the
line,2metersneoncolour reflectedthelightbackgivingusacontrolover
the direction of the tow. The key innovation is dark pigments, makes the
line virtually invisible for even the most suspicious fish during sunny
days. Extremely effective through the sunny days, ideal for use in a clear
water, in low depths, where is crucially important to make the line as
visible for fish, as it possible.
The most important thing is belief, i mean believe in materials, in this amazing double color line.
I personally tested 0,25mm version , and i was very surprised by breaking strenght. I try to break it many
times by my hands, but with no success. It is really strong line in this tiny diameter. One interesting fact,
I recommend to tie the knot on black pieces, it increases the knot strength.
I’m already used this line at many casting competitions with success . The double color is very helpful
also in the night. The combination of Eclipse line with Galaxy cast tapered mono-shock leader is perfect.
I catched many big carp over 40lb on this combinations on one lake, where need to throw rig setup more
than 120 m. I highly recommend this line to those who have not yet found the right combination for long
distance casting.

The line stretching in %?
What is the optimal way to measure it correctly?
There are plenty of different ways. We would like to offer the following:
It’s recommended to use no more than 50% of line breaking strength, when you play the fish. On practice
it looks like this:
Bring the line, you would to test, tie the knot, tie t it to your breaking strength tester and measure the peak
breaking strength. Record the received result. Then tie to your breaking strength tester 1 meter of line
and pull softly. The value on which the line will elongate under 50% of it breaking strength will define the
% and level of line stretching.
Synapse Wild Carp
This line is specially designed for wild and grass carps fishing on high distances. Low elongation 10-12%
significantly increases the line responsiveness when it contact with fish. Fast sinking and snug well on a bot-
tom. Dark green colour. Unique anti-abrasive coating improves the line life capability.

Zig-Rig designed for surface or middle-water fishing. To find the optimal depth just use the marker. After
you have defined the depth, fix the line distance, using the clips on your reel. Count the fishing distance on
your marker rod. After it, set the needed distance with help of marker fids on your fishing rod. Make the Zig-
Rig rig with length, that is equal to measured water depth if you plan to fish on water surface. Or make the
rig shorter on 30-50cm. Try to fish in this depth. If no bite happen, just shortern your hooklink even more
on 30-50cm. That is good solution for looking for carp by changing the depths of your fishing.

Nicola Luna, Italy

Many anglers believe that fluorocarbon is a low-stretch line, and credit its sensitivity
to this factor. But it actually stretches more than nylon mono. The difference is, it takes
a greater force to get fluoro stretching in the first place which is why our shock leader
The GALAXY is made using a premium monofilament.
The GALAXY excels as a shock leader due to it’s better performance when reacting to
sudden impacts or the shocks caused by an unpredictable fish.

smoothly and tends to be less tangling, when you fight. It has high
abrasion resistance. SSB thin diameter, allows you to spool more meters
on your reel, for fishing at very long distances. The highest sensitivity,
low stretch at long fishing distances, were achieved thanks to to the
ultimately dense fibers weaving.
Comfortable endless spooling per 300
meters on 6 spools allows you to choose
weather you need only 300 meters or up
to 1800 meters.

coating. Strip back the coating to reveal a very soft inner braid which will
allow you to tie the most complicated of rigs.The green colour of the GURZA
make it most suited to venues which have weed growth or heavy vegetation
and the stiffness comes into play by allowing the GURZA to sit on top of any
vegetation rather than disappearing in.

We recommend to use this type of knot,
because of better density

Dyneema / Copolymer mix means that this braid breaks well above the stated

premium braid but colour coordinated for the different water colours you may
encounter.
The striped colour patterns run from the outer to the inner so in the event of
you needing to strip back more of the coating for a specific rig then you can be
sure that the patterning will continue under the flexible coating.

The Mimicker is top of the tree when it comes to innovation and
design. We took our premium uncoated KORUND braid and via new
innovations in manufacture we threaded it through an authentic weed
sleeve that moves and acts naturally in the water just like all aquatic
vegetation.
The reason for it’s creation is mainly down to research we conducted
regarding fish that are “rig shy”.... it is very evident that over time many
of the specimen Carp we seek to catch are also very weary and very
nervous. They seem to become well aware that if they take a bait from a
rig where the line is visible it will result in them being towed around the
lake for the next 20 minutes or so and as a result the bigger specimen
fish shy away from visible rigs. Moreover it absorbs the smell of any dip
and reflect it for a lot time, attractive fish. The Mimicker and we are very
proud to be the manufacturers of this innovation and we think that you
will really enjoy using, and it and it will add a little more confidence to
how you approach your fishing.
• Simple to use with no threading involved. *reflects
smell of dip
• Suitable for use with a variety of rigs
• 100% undetectable to fish

The Captura was design to help take the hard work out of the creation of certain rigs and especially the
“combi” rig .(less knots=more strength). CAPTURA has a flurocarbon core which helps it sink very quickly.
It is made up of a premium braid and it is this braid that envelopes a Fluro core. With three breaking strains
and diameters of 0.25mm/0.35mm/0.45mm we are sure that we have covered most fishing situations that
would involve using a mono core braided hook link.
The DYNEEMA and Polyester fibres come together to create a robust braid but the
nylon mono inner offers a certain amount of buoyancy which can be critical if
your chosen hook bait needs to be partially raised. Black in colour and suited to
most waters but specially effective when used fishing lakes/rivers that have a darker
bottom.
• Combi rig without the knots
• Superior knot hold
• Fast sinking

Stels
Concord
The STELS has been created to cope with the ever increasing distances, that we have
to cast to find our target fish. The STELS is a manufactured braided shock leader.
The extreme outer of the STELS is treated with a special coat which adds longevity
to the STELS meaning you get more casts per spool than that of it’s peers. It`s highly
resistive to abrasion on shells and rocks. STELS is an invaluable when it comes to
fishing rough swims or swims that contain heavy vegetation and snags. 24 meters
length can be cut in three pieces of 8 meters. The black/green colouring helps conceal
your rig even in the nerviest of waters.
• Protective coating of
longevity
• Smooth casting
The CONCORD is a round smooth braided shock/snag leader which has been
created to account for the extremes of pressure when casting at distance. It has a
protective coating which helps protect the inner braid and it is the special coating
that gives the CONCORD it’s smoothness and as it’s name suggests it simply flies
through the rod rings offering little of no resistance which allows you to cast to
the extremes of your ability without the fear of you rig cracking off!
The very high durability of the CONCORD means that this leader material is
invaluable when used in the roughest of swims.
Suitable on most waters but especially effective when fishing waters that have a
darker coloured bottom because the CONCORD is black in colour. 24 meters
length can be cut in three pieces of 8 meters.

“Line burns” is caused by casting at speed in an
attempt to achieve a greater distances or by getting
your timing all wrong.
“Line burns” can very easily rasp the skin on your
casting finger leaving you with some rather nasty
abrasions but we now have the perfect answer to the
“line burns” issue.
At KATRAN we place the safety of our customer right
