Braid 8 is constructed with proprietary, 8-yarn round construction braiding technology. The process interweaves the micro-fibers extremely tight and rounder than many other braids. The sealed and smooth surface is achieved by Maxima’s new Triple Coating Treatment (TCT) which leads to exceptional castability and outstanding abrasion resistance. In order to ensure a high-strength connection as well as a sensitive contact to the fish, Maxima Braid 8 is pre-stretched and heat-fixed – a critical step many other brands overlook.
