SHIMANO OCEA 8 PE BRAID

SHIMANO OCEA 8 PE BRAID

The pull strength of the new Shimano Ocea 8 PE Braid is up to 25 per cent greater than that of the previous EX8 for the same diameter. Ocea 8 utilises Shimano’s exclusive Tough Cross braiding method. What makes it stand out from the rest is that the line is woven at 45 degrees under tension to create a tighter fibre structure, making it more stable, easier to manage, and possessing increased abrasion resistance. Shimano Heat Sink coating has been developed and applied to the line to reduce the concentration of heat from guide and drag pressure on the line. The Izana fibre has a new and improved fibre lay technology exclusive to Shimano, which prevents flattening of the line that could lead to premature breakage. As a result, the pull strength and abrasion resistance are vastly improved.
