GOSEN 16-Ply Casting Braid

GOSEN 16-Ply Casting Braid: The Pinnacle of Japanese Engineering

Redefining Distance and Strength. Crafted in Japan using a proprietary high-pitch braiding process, the Gosen 16-Ply is an award-winning line designed for anglers who demand elite performance. As the only 16-ply braid currently on the market, it offers a level of roundness, smoothness, and strength that standard 4 and 8-strand braids simply cannot match

The Material Advantage

At the core of this braid are ultra-high-quality IZANAS® fibers from Toyobo. This next-generation material outperforms even high-grade Dyneema, providing superior tensile strength and abrasion resistance. By weaving 16 individual strands of these premium Japanese fibers, Gosen has created a line that is significantly stronger than 8-ply alternatives while maintaining an incredibly thin diameter.

Engineered for the Ultimate Cast

• Perfectly Round Profile: The 16-strand architecture results in a perfectly cylindrical cross-section. This reduces friction as the line flies through your guides, enabling ultra-long, silent casts.
• Superior Sensitivity: With a high braiding density and minimal stretch, the Gosen 16-Ply transmits even the slightest "tick" from a wary fish directly to your fingertips.
• Water Repellent & Durable: Engineered for high water resistance, the line stays light and fast throughout your session, maintaining its integrity and knot strength under heavy load.
• The Perfect Balance: Gosen has achieved the "Goldilocks" texture—the ideal middle ground between stiff and soft—ensuring excellent line management and fewer wind knots.
