Shimano Grappler 8 PE Braid
The Grappler name has become synonymous with quality and strength and the new Grappler PE 8 carrier braid is no different. Sparing no cost, this multi colour PE Braid is made from 8 high-end IZANAS fibres and incorporates the Shimano exclusive Heat Sink technology that disperses heat across the coating, reducing damage to the line in those long, hard fights. The VT Construction Method enables the fine braid fibres to be woven evenly at all angles, under high tension. This results in a smoother finish and reduced diameter, which aids in all aspects of casting and jigging across PE 0.8 to PE 8.0.
Feature & Technology
Technology
IZANAS
Adoption of IZANAS® ultra-high-strength polyethylene fiber
This PE line uses IZANAS®, an ultra-high-strength polyethylene fiber produced by Toyobo Co. The fiber is approximately 8 times stronger than piano wire and has a moderate modulus of elasticity.
HEATSINKCOATING
Heat-resistant special silicone coating
Coated with a special silicon resin that has low thermal conductivity (1/4 that of water) and excellent heat resistance. Improved slipperiness.
