The Sunline Siglon PE X8 is a brand new, Japanese made, 8 Braid that Sunline has developed especially for European anglers and their demands. The Siglon PE combines all the characteristics that a very good, modern braided line should have.
In the production of the Siglon PE X8, eight very high quality raw fibres of the so-called "EX-PE" polyethylene fibre, specially designed for this line, are very tightly and extremely accurately braided together. As this is done within a new braiding process, the cross-sectional area of the line is reduced, resulting in very thin line diameters.
In addition, thanks to the very tight braiding, the Siglon PE has only ultra-low elongation, which makes it highly sensitive. This means that bites and ground contacts are passed directly and precisely to the angler.
As you would expect from Sunline lines, this braiding process is optimised for optimum roundness and a very even surface structure of the line. The Siglon PE is therefore pleasantly round and does not flatten out even in later use. In addition, this braided line is very smooth. On the one hand, it lies well on the reel, and on the other hand, it significantly reduces friction in the rod rings.
Thanks to the low friction, the Siglon PE glides quietly through the rings and enables long casting distances. To further improve handling on the reel and casting performance, the line has a comparatively high stiffness. This ensures that it does not wrap around the rings so quickly, even on windy days.
Also on the baitcasting reel, the Siglon PE has excellent casting characteristics due to the mentioned stiffness. Handling on the BC was one of the points Sunline paid special attention to when developing this new braided line.
All these values are not achieved with the Siglon PE by a particularly thick coating, but by high-quality materials and the elaborate braiding process. The surface of the line is already very smooth and round after the actual braiding process, so that a thinly applied coating is sufficient to finish the surface of the line.
These excellent properties make the Sunline Siglon PE the perfect braided line for artificial lure fishing.
