LineLab Tokuryo Monster X8 Braid

The Tokuryo Monster is one of the best choices an angler can make, amongst the LineLab 8 strand braids, as it incorporates many of the characteristics that are sought after.

The 8X Monster braid has been produced with a very tight weaving process and as a result does not withhold water. This benefits us when fishing vertically, as the motion of the jig is not affected and the braid is reeled in almost dry. LineLab has paid enormous attention to this feature – not letting the braid affect the jigs’ motion – and produced the Tokuryo Monster in the thinnest possible diameters in the PE scale. While most Japanese – and non-Japanese – manufacturers build their braids in thicker widths, LineLab has managed to produce the Tokuryo Monster in thinner diameter but with increased strength. For example, the PE # 3.0 braid looks and feels and performs as a PE #2.5 in terms of the width, but withholds the stamina of the PE #3.0 and more. As a result, the Tokuryo Monster is an Ultra-Strong braid that does not affect the motion of our jigs, does not get affected by currents as it is thinner, tighter and does not withhold water. At the same time it is abrasion resistant in case it comes in contact with rocks, and achieves long casts for the very same reasons.

Even the craftiest of fish will fall for the silky soft, exceptionally strong Monster braid, which does not carry along vibrations or “noise” to our jig, as a result of flowing through the guides. It is ideally combined with the LineLab Pro FC Leader, as their development has been based on the same principles as for example the abrasion resistance, tolerance, soft texture, etc. All these traits contribute to our jig performing naturally, while the lines remain out of sight.

This is a unique and reliable combination, at an affordable price, for the “hard” fishing techniques, such as Shore Jigging and Jigging.

The Tokuryo Monster 8X braid is available in Moss Green and Multicolor versions (color changes every 10 mt).

Each spool comes with a holding strap that keep the braid in place and can find numerous applications afterwards, such as keeping the sections of your rod together.
