When performance matters, details matter.
The Shimano Ocea 17+ is a premium Japanese-manufactured braided line and the first 17-strand braid introduced to the market. Built using newly developed IZANAS® SF700 fibres with increased strand thickness, this line sets a new benchmark in strength, smoothness, and durability.
The 17-strand construction maintains a consistent round profile during casting and under load. Unlike traditional braids that flatten and create uneven stress points, Ocea 17+ stays round — reducing wear, improving casting performance, and maintaining strength when it counts.
Shimano’s advanced wet spinning braiding process produces a more uniform and smoother surface finish. The result is:
-
Up to 5% improved casting performance
-
Up to 148% improved abrasion resistance
-
Up to 21% increased linear strength compared to Ocea 8
All models feature Shimano’s patented Heat Sink technology, helping dissipate heat during prolonged fights and heavy drag pressure.
If you're chasing powerful fish with premium tackle, this is the braid that matches it.
Rounder. Stronger. Smoother.
