Daiwa Tournament Sinking Feeder Braid 8+1 135m – 18lb 0.1mm

Daiwa Tournament Sinking Feeder Braid 8+1 – 135m Spool

The Daiwa Tournament Sinking Feeder Braid 8+1 is a high-end, specialized main line designed specifically for competitive and technical feeder fishing. It features an innovative ‘8+1’ construction, incorporating a dense core for superior sinking properties, while maintaining the renowned strength and castability of the Tournament series.

Product Details and Uses

This is a true sinking braided line, built to address the common challenge of standard braids floating or bowing significantly in the current. The unique 8+1 construction is the key differentiator:

• 8-Strand Weave: The primary body is made from a tightly woven, round 8-strand Japanese PE fibre, delivering high linear strength and a super-smooth profile.
• +1 High-Density Core: An ultrafine, high-density Fluoride core is integrated into the center of the braid. This core adds critical weight to assist the line in quickly breaking the surface tension and sinking rapidly to lay flat on the bottom.

Key Performance Advantages:

• Fast Sinking: The high-density core ensures the line sinks much faster than conventional PE braids, reducing the sweep and bow caused by wind or current and ensuring a more direct connection to the feeder.
• Enhanced Stiffness (Anti-Wind Knot): The inclusion of the core slightly increases the line’s inherent stiffness. This enhanced rigidity is engineered to minimize the risk of frustrating wind knots and tip-wrap incidents during casting.
• Superb Casting: The outer 8-strand layer is treated with a silicon coating, which maintains a smooth surface. This combination ensures quiet line travel and helps achieve maximum distance when punching out feeders.
• Zero Stretch Sensitivity: Like all quality braids, it has virtually no stretch, providing instant bite detection, even from cautious fish at extreme range.
• High Durability: Offers high linear strength, excellent knot reliability, and superior abrasion resistance against underwater hazards.

Ideal Applications: The 135-meter spool is the perfect length for:

• Feeder Fishing: Specifically designed for this discipline, particularly in situations where fast sinking and minimizing line bow (e.g., in rivers, canals, or windy conditions) are paramount.
• Match & Coarse Fishing: Ideal for filling the spools of 3000 to 4000 size match and feeder reels.

General Features:

• Construction: Specialized 8+1 (8-strand PE weave + high-density Fluoride core).
• Spool Length: 135 meters.
• Colour: Steel Grey (a low-visibility sinking colour).
• Origin: Made in Japan.
