The Shimano Ocea 17+ is the ultimate PE braid for anglers targeting large marine predators in extreme conditions. Designed and manufactured in Japan to the most demanding standards, this ultra-premium braid is based on a unique 17-strand architecture: 16 outer Izanas® SF700 fiber strands enveloping a central SF600 core. This concentric structure guarantees exceptional roundness, maximum tensile strength, and profile stability even under the most intense constraints — flattening and line twisting are minimized, cast after cast.
At the core of the Ocea 17+'s performance is Shimano's exclusive HEAT SINK COATING, a high-heat-resistant silicone treatment applied to the entire braid. During prolonged battles with powerful fish, the friction generated by the line passing through the rod rings quickly heats up. The HEAT SINK COATING actively dissipates this heat, protecting both the integrity of the rings and the lasting performance of the line. A decisive advantage for those who practice deep jigging, popping, or casting and retrieving large stickbaits in the open ocean.
The smooth, perfectly round profile of the Ocea 17+ optimizes each cast: ring friction is reduced, casting distance is increased, and the risks of spool entanglement are controlled. The ultra-smooth surface, resulting from the high-strength SF700 fiber construction, allows the braid to glide fluently through the guides, maximizing the ballistic efficiency of the longest casts.
Designed to match the most upscale combos on the market — Stella SW, Twin Power SW, Ocea Plugger — the Ocea 17+ is the reference braid for big pelagic fishing, offshore jigging and competitive surfcasting. Whether you're casting towards the horizon for tunas or pulling in deep-water specimens, the Shimano Ocea 17+ offers you the reserve strength and professional-level reliability needed to never let up.
Available in various diameters and lengths to adapt to all rigging configurations, the Ocea 17+ represents the ultimate investment for the angler who refuses to compromise on the quality of their line.
