Following four years of development, Sunline recently launched Asegai braid featuring patented Xplasma technology that dramatically improves slickness, abrasion resistance, and water repellency. Slickness and smoothness are improved 370% and 260% respectively over our conventional braided lines. The Xplasma process also improves hydrophobic capabilities of Asegai over 240% over our standard braided lines allowing for longer casts and less freeze up in guides and reels in cold weater. Asegai is a premium eight strand Japanese made PE with tight woven surface.
