Shimano Ocea 17+ Braid Braided Lines

Shimano Ocea 17+ Braid is a premium Japanese braided line created for demanding saltwater techniques and powerful offshore predators. Designed for jigging, casting and heavy-duty saltwater fishing, it combines extreme strength, smooth handling and reliable performance during long fights with hard-fighting fish.

17-strand construction with a smooth and round profile

The braid is built from 16 outer Izanas® SF700 strands combined with a central SF600 core, creating a dense and highly uniform construction. This gives Ocea 17+ a very round profile, helping it move smoothly through the guides and lay evenly on the spool. The line stays stable under heavy pressure and maintains predictable handling throughout the fight.

Long casting performance and controlled presentations

Its compact weave reduces friction and limits unwanted vibration during the cast. The braid transfers energy efficiently, helping anglers achieve longer and more controlled casts with less effort. This becomes especially important when targeting fast-moving pelagic fish that often require accurate lure presentations at long distance.

Built for heavy drag pressure and demanding fights

Shimano’s Heat Sink Coating technology improves heat dissipation generated during heavy drag pressure and long fights. This helps protect both the braid and rod guides when fighting large saltwater species. Ocea 17+ resists flattening and twisting under load, maintaining smooth lure control and consistent performance throughout demanding sessions.

Saltwater braided line for tuna, GT and other powerful predators

Shimano Ocea 17+ Braid was developed for serious saltwater anglers targeting species such as tuna, giant trevally, amberjack and halibut. It is a braided line designed for situations where strength, reliability and full control over the fish are essential from the strike to the final moments of the fight.
