SHIMANO OCEA 17+ BRAID

The Shimano Ocea 17+ is an ultra-premium PE braided line engineered for maximum performance in demanding offshore fishing applications. Manufactured in Japan with an advanced 17-carrier construction, it combines 16 outer Izanas® SF700 fibers with a central SF600 core to achieve exceptional roundness, structural stability, and smoothness under heavy load.

Its innovative multi-strand architecture significantly reduces friction through the guides, enhancing casting distance and line management, while the reinforced core minimizes flattening and twisting during prolonged fights. Shimano’s exclusive HEAT SINK coating dissipates heat generated by friction, helping preserve guide integrity and maintain consistent performance during extreme pressure situations.

With outstanding abrasion resistance, superior tensile strength, and exceptional casting efficiency, the Ocea 17+ is designed for serious anglers targeting powerful offshore predators with popping, heavy casting, and jigging techniques. Perfectly matched with Stella SW and Twin Power SW reels, it represents one of Shimano’s most advanced braided lines ever produced.
