Shimano - Grappler 8 Braid - 300m / PE0.8 x 16lb
The Shimano Grappler 8 Braid is a premium 8-strand PE line engineered with high-grade IZANAS fibres for extreme strength and durability in New Zealand’s demanding saltwater environment. Designed for both casting and vertical jigging, this multi-colour braid features Shimano’s exclusive Heat Sink technology to disperse heat during blistering runs from Kingfish and Tuna, protecting the line from failure under heavy drag pressure.
- IZANAS Construction – Uses ultra-high-strength polyethylene fibres for superior abrasion resistance and a thinner profile.
- Heat Sink Technology – Special coating dissipates heat build-up between the line and guides during long, hard fights.
- VT Construction Method – Woven evenly at all angles under high tension for a smoother finish and increased casting distance.
- Multi-Colour Pattern – Colour changes every 10m allow for precise depth tracking when mechanical jigging or dropping to structure.
- High Sensitivity – Low-stretch design ensures instant bite detection and solid hook sets on deep-water Snapper and Hapuku.
