Shimano Pitbull 8 Braid

Shimano Pitbull 8 Braid from Shimano adopts the new VT construction braiding technology. Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process. The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity achieved through the lower stretch. These attributes make Shimano Pitbull 8 Braid an excellent choice when high sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your target species.

Shimano Pitbull VT Construction

During the VT Construction Method, the braid fibre is woven evenly at all angles – resulting in a smoother finish and reduced diameter. The casting performance of the line is significantly improved as the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides and cast noise is also reduced.
