Majorcraft Dangan Braid X PE0.8 : 16lb Braid

Majorcraft Dangan Braid X PE0.8

Majorcraft has introduced an 8-strand braided line. Braid X, Cross 8

An evolution of the original Dangan braid, the Cross 8 is an extremely strong fibre, custom twisted in, to deliver low stretch and higher sensitivity. Made of ultra-high strength Japanese polyethelyne fibre IZANAS.

The advanced line technology, created with a unique ‘Gel Spinning Technology method’ uses micro fibres in each individual strand that is then woven together in an 8-strand pattern. It is then coated in an F60 material.

The high-density manufacturing process produces a supple line that reduces tangling on the guides with the added benefit of improved sensitivity and a strong leader connection.
