Shimano - OCEA 8 Braid

This is Shimano’s premium offshore braid designed for jigging and casting where strength-to-diameter, colour accuracy and abrasion resistance matter. Built with 8-strand X-Filament fibres, it delivers tight, round spooling for smooth casting and sharp jig control, ideal for targeting kingfish, tuna and other pelagics across New Zealand waters.

• High-end 8-strand X-Filament – smooth, round profile for cleaner casting and precise jig action
• Offshore-ready strength – engineered for kingfish, yellowfin and heavy reef applications
• 10m × 5-colour metered braid – depth tracking made simple for jigging and deep drops
• Heat-sink coating (4–12) – improves heat resistance and abrasion durability under high drag
• Low stretch – crisp bite detection and direct power transfer on long-line battles
• Optimised for Stella SW class spools – smooth line lay and long-life performance on high-end reels
