UNITIKA’s U-TEC SHIN-SAYA is a hybrid line that combines the high sensitivity of ester with the suppleness of nylon. It features a core-and-sheath construction, with ester at the core and nylon as the outer sheath.
Compared with ester lines, it is more supple, produces fewer tangles and other line troubles, and offers excellent abrasion resistance, making it resistant to wear against structure and providing a smooth feel in use. Knot strength and abrasion resistance have also been taken into consideration, making it suitable for setups used without a leader. Compared with nylon lines, its lower stretch provides high sensitivity and excellent control, making bites easier to detect. Reduced water absorption also helps extend the life of the line.
