The Fox Rage Jig Silk braid is an 8-strand braid for predator fishermen. This braid made of WHMWPE polyethylene (Weight High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) offers a combination of flexibility, strength and sensitivity that literally transforms your lure fishing experience. Discover why this braid is one of the most popular in Europe among professional and passionate amateur fishermen.
The choice of an 8-strand construction is not insignificant. This architecture offers the best compromise between several essential qualities :
- Perfect roundness : The 8 braided fibers create an ideal circular section that glides without friction through the rings
- Optimal flexibility : More flexible than a 4-strand, while retaining excellent abrasion resistance
- Technical versatility : Suitable for all lure fishing techniques (jigging, spinning, twitching, linear)
- Fluid casts : The round structure prevents twisting and excessive loop formation
Unlike more rigid 4-strand braids or sometimes too thin and delicate 12-strand braids, the 8-strand Fox Rage Jig Silk braid is positioned as the universal choice of the modern fisherman.
- The Jig Silk braid gets its name from its exceptional softness, comparable to silk. This characteristic comes from several technical factors :
- 32 tightly braided fibers : Each strand is made up of 4 ultra-fine microfibers woven together
- High density braiding: A precise manufacturing process guarantees perfect regularity throughout the length
- Ultra-smooth surface : The special coating eliminates all roughness or undesirable asperities
This Fox Rage glides perfectly through the rings of the rod for significantly improved casting distances (up to 10-15% more than with a rough braid). The noise of the braid under water is reduced so as not to scare off suspicious predators.
It retains 95% to 98% of linear strength after knot tying. The Jig Slick is abrasion resistant thanks to the protective coating and has no elasticity (less than 3% elongation under maximum load) for direct transmission of hooking power to the lure.
The complete lack of stretch (elasticity) is also a major asset of the Jig Silk braid for technical fishing. Every touch, even the most discreet, is instantly transmitted to the rod. You will effectively detect the bottom, structures and lure behavior in real time.
The choice of fluorescent green color meets a technical requirement: high visibility for the fisherman. With its light color, it remains discreet under the water surface.
The Fox Rage Jig Silk braid is available in 8 strengths to cover all predator fishing techniques, from finesse to extreme power.
