Shimano Ocea 8 Premium PE Braid Line
Engineered in Japan to redefine performance, the Shimano Ocea 8 Premium PE Braid Line is the ultimate companion for serious anglers. Crafted to perfectly complement Shimano’s top-tier Stella SW and Ocea Jigger series, this high-performance braided line sets a new benchmark in strength, durability, and handling.
With a groundbreaking 25% increase in pull strength over the previous EX8 model, the Ocea 8 offers unmatched power for its diameter. Shimano’s exclusive X Tough Cross braiding method weaves the line at 45° under tension, delivering a tighter, more stable fibre structure that’s easier to manage, highly sensitive, and impressively resistant to abrasion.
The advanced Heat Sink Coating disperses heat generated during long fights and heavy drag pressure, protecting your line from thermal damage. Meanwhile, using Izana’s fibres and Shimano’s exclusive X Filament Technology ensures consistent roundness and strength, reducing the risk of line flattening and premature breakage.
