STROFT

PRECISION, QUALITY AND INNOVATION IN EVERY FIBRE

STROFT stands for the highest quality in the world of fishing lines. The brand name is made up of the first three letters of ‘STRONG’ and the last three letters of ‘SOFT’ – a combination that perfectly describes the essence of STROFT lines: maximum strength with optimal suppleness. Developed and distributed by WAKU GmbH, the STROFT brand is registered and protected in over 40 countries, as is the distinctive STROFT knot logo.

THE STROFT PHILOSOPHY

The company's philosophy is as simple as it is clear: to offer the best fishing lines with the most modern technology and to continuously improve them. For over 40 years, WAKU has focused exclusively on the development of fishing lines. Through close cooperation with leading research departments in the field of plastic and monofilament technology, as well as extensive in-house testing, STROFT sets standards in terms of innovation and quality. All production specifications are developed in-house at WAKU and are exclusively implemented by specialised manufacturers. This enables STROFT to always respond to the latest findings, optimise existing products and guarantee the highest performance standards – without changing the product names. For example, the monofilament STROFT GTM has already undergone over 40 developments, while the braided STROFT GTP has also been continuously improved.

A LIFE FOR FISHING

The founder of WAKU, Walter Kummerow, was not only a passionate angler, but also a 24-time world casting champion. He realised early on that success in angling depends largely on the quality of the line. This conviction accompanied him throughout his life and led him from the first discussions about line optimisation in the 1960s to the founding of WAKU GmbH in 1983.

Since then, the STROFT brand has been a resounding success. The first products, such as STROFT Super, were already setting standards, but the introduction of STROFT GTM marked the beginning of its international success. Tested and approved by the TÜV in Munich as the best monofilament fishing line, it is still synonymous with quality and performance today. In the following decades, further innovative products were developed: from STROFT N to STROFT FLUOR, to the fluorocarbon lines STROFT FC1 and FC2, as well as the braided STROFT GTP R and S, which were honoured by the trade press as outstanding test winners.

WAKU's continuous development of leader and fly line systems is proof of the company's innovative strength. The company has also developed in terms of personnel: with André Giermann as authorised signatory and Ronald Pasch as product consultant, himself a passionate angler and multiple casting world champion, STROFT is well prepared for the future.

READY FOR THE FUTURE WITH TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE

STROFT's goal: maximum quality through continuous innovation. Thanks to unique expertise, relentless research and uncompromising quality standards, STROFT fishing lines are developed that deliver impressive performance in practice – whether it's demanding competition fishing or relaxed days by the water. With global trademark protection, constant optimisation and a deep-rooted passion for fishing, STROFT will continue to set standards in the future.
