Major Craft Dangan Braid x8

MajorCraft Dangan x8 Braided Fishing Line Multicolour 300m

Braid revolutionized the fishing market delivering more sensitivity and improved casting distance for multiple fishing styles.

It is generally available in both 4 and 8 strand braided lines and Majorcraft has both. As the name implies, 4 and 8 refer to the number of microfilaments weaved together. The difference is in the end product with 8 strands being smoother and rounder. This is because the fibers are woven differently to 4 strands and the bundles are smaller with more of an even circumference along the length of the line or weave. It produces a supple, smooth line that is less likely to sing through the guides. 8 strand is generally more expensive to produce. 4 strand is regarded as robust and less supple but better able to deal with the demands of offshore bait fishing for instance. It is also cost-effective for a wide range of activities.

The new series covers general angling and squid fishing with the line available in both 4 and 8 strands offering a top quality line in two options. The Dangan Braid’s original yarn is a super strong, polyethylene fiber made by Tobyo which is custom twisted in a Japanese factory to develop a braid with a lower stretch, higher sensitivity.

The Dangan comes in a range of strengths and is user-friendly for beginners as well as having the performance needed for lure casting anglers.

Both variants have a super smooth, slippery surface coating that reduces friction on guides and the reel, which increases casting distance and enables better line lay.

MC Dangan offshore and an inshore line is multi-colored in ten-meter increments making it suitable as not only a casting line but a jigging option too. It is available in 150m and 300m spools from 12 to 50lb.
