DAIWA Saltiga 12 Braid EX 300 m 0.160 mm

Saltiga 12 braid has taken on a new - and more accessible - life as Saltiga 12 Braid EX! This perfectly round braid has been made in Japan using the very latest Daiwa technologies in fibre composition and silicone coating. Exceptional abrasion resistance and incredibly low friction to eke out those extra few metres on the cast. The Saltiga 12 EX heralds a new era of braid. Specifications: - Diameter (mm): 0.16mm - Breaking strain: 14.0 kg - Breaking strain: 31 lb Technology: - 12 braid : The traction resistance of our 12-strand braid is 120% that of our 8-strand version. The gains in terms of strength are even more marked compared to a conventional PE 4-strand braid. The perfectly round cross-section of our 12-strand braid offers even lower friction and heightened, long-lasting knot strength.The coefficient of dynamic friction has been improved by 118% compared to our 8-strand braid. Thanks to the perfectly round cross section and the UVF + Evo silicon treatment, this braid offers seriously low friction, cutting through the wind and gliding through the guides. - UVF : Ultra-compact fibers are braid so the volume is reduced and the resistance enhanced. - +Si : The EVO Silicone Surface Treatment reduces friction noises and improves glide to reach higher distance.
