Ocea 17+ sets a new benchmark in braided line performance, representing the absolute pinnacle of Shimano’s line innovation. Expertly manufactured in Japan, this ultra-premium braid features an advanced 17-strand construction - 16 outer strands of Izanas® SF700 fibre, plus a central core of SF600. Engineered for unrivalled roundness, strength, and smoothness it is built with cutting-edge materials and finished with Shimano’s proprietary HEAT SINK COATING. Ocea 17+ offers superior abrasion resistance, thermal protection, and casting performance.
When big fish and extreme conditions push your tackle to the limit, Shimano’s Ocea 17+ delivers the strength and confidence to stay in control. The smooth, round profile enhances casting distance and reduces tangling, while the central core design limits line flattening and twisting under pressure. Shimano’s signature HEAT SINK COATING further reduces frictional heat at the rod guides during long fights, protecting your gear and maintaining line performance. Ideal for pairing with Stella SW, Twin Power SW, or Ocea Plugger rods, Ocea 17+ is the go-to braid for anglers seeking absolute confidence when targeting big fish.
Shimano Ocea 17+ represents a revolutionary step forward in PE braid construction. Featuring an ultra-high-performance 17-strand structure, the line maintains exceptional roundness and stability during long casts and hard fights. Constructed from SF Izanas® 700 fibres, Ocea 17+ offers unmatched tensile strength and durability, while its smoother surface reduces friction through rod guides to maximise casting efficiency. The addition of Shimano’s HEAT SINK COATING, a thermally resistant silicone treatment, dissipates heat generated during prolonged pressure, preserving guide integrity and maintaining consistent performance. Whether you’re launching big stickbaits across the horizon or battling powerful fish at close quarters, Ocea 17+ delivers elite-level reliability, cast after cast.
