With a brand new advanced braid pattern; as well as adding Daiwa's revolutionary �Evo Silicone' coating to the line, this is one of the highest performance jigging braids available. As a result; the lbs/kg test rating has improved on some of the lower tests; thus allowing a thinner diameter line, meaning less line drag and increased casting performance. The friction has also been significantly reduced due to the new silicone coating. The color metered every 10 meters, marked black every five meters and white every meter; the new SWbraid is made in Japan and guaranteed Daiwa quality.
