| As its name implies, SAMURAI 8 Braid is an 8-carrier braid, meaning eight exceptional microfilaments are meticulously woven together to create a superior finished product. “The tight weaving process is what makes SAMURAI 8 Braid so special,” said DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin. “Impressively, SAMURAI 8 Braid stays exceptionally narrow for its rated strength, and the new weaving process makes it more durable, too.” Martin noted another resulting characteristic of SAMURAI 8 Braid’s tight weave. “Abrasion resistance is greatly improved. It’s much harder to nick a line when eight individual strands perform as one.” Additionally, DAIWA added a performance coating to SAMURAI 8 Braid. “The exclusive coating really maximizes casting distance and reduces line noise. There’s so little friction as it passes through the guides,” said Martin.Another benefit of the performance coating is how it affects the sink rate. “With less friction in the water, SAMURAI 8 Braid can sink faster. That’s important for getting the most out of your crankbaits, keeping lures and rigs pinned to the bottom, and tightening the tether to smaller baits because there’s less bowing in the line.”And we can’t forget roundness. Irregular shapes with inconsistencies dog some of the braided line on the market. Those are the same ones that cut notches in your guides, too. Fortunately, SAMURAI 8 Braid comes out of the factory perfectly spherical.SAMURAI 8 Braid is available in nine weights and two spool sizes, 165-yard and 330-yard. |
