HAMPIOJANNow down to 1,000 m depth This unique Float Rope combines high breaking strength and low stretch with high flexibility. The core is made from foamed particles that withstand pressure down to 1,000 metres without the rope losing any of its buoyancy. The new Hampidjan Kraft Float is available in thicknesses of 10, 12, 14, 16,22 and 25 mm and is especially suitable for gillnet fishing.
