Seaguar Grandmax x8 - PE0.8 Braid
PE line for those who are picky.
[High Sensitivity] Adopts Grand Max PE, which has the least elongation in our PE series.
[High strength] Adopts a set of 8 pieces to thoroughly pursue strength.
[High visibility] Adopts new pitch markings to thoroughly pursue visibility.
[Value Price] Thorough pursuit of cost performance.
We have a wide range of sizes available, from size 0.4, which is suitable for precise fishing methods, to size 6, which can be used for targeting big fish such as blue fish.
