High Durability and Sensitivity
9 PE lines from Duel Monster Game 9 Lineup by style
PE lines used to be 4-strand or 8-strand braided PE lines. Each has its own characteristics in terms of elongation, surface smoothness, and strength, but in recent years, 9-strand braided PE line has emerged as a PE line that offers both strength and sensitivity. Duel has finally introduced a 9-strand model. Moreover, each fishing category has its own lineup with different performance. What kind of performance and what kind of models are available?

The 9-strand braid option
PE lines are usually 4-strand or 8-strand braided lines. 4-strand braided lines are made of 4 strands, and generally, 4 strands are used to minimize stretch. Some makers also offer the feature of resistance to slipping due to the thicker single strand. However, the surface is not as smooth as that of 8-strand braids, and casting distance is said to be reduced. On the other hand, the surface of 8-strand braid is smoother than that of 4-strand braid because there are 8 strands in the same size. The smooth surface also allows for a greater casting distance because of the smoothness of the threads against the guide when casting. It is also less susceptible to the effects of the tide. It is also stronger in tensile strength than 4-strand braids. Both 4-strand and 8-strand braids are coated to minimize these negative aspects. Incidentally, the price of 4-strand and 8-strand fibers is often lower than that of 4-strand fibers.
Recently, a 9-strand braided PE line has been introduced, which consists of an 8-strand braided PE line with a single strand in the center of the line. Duel has released a number of new 9-strand PE line models specifically designed for this type of line. That is the “Monster Game 9” series.
First, the overall features of Monster Game 9 are high durability, high sensitivity, and high abrasion resistance. Duel’s proprietary new C.I.P. (Core Integration Process) manufacturing method ensures high roundness. The line is resistant to flattening and has good drainage. In addition, the single-core line reduces elongation and increases sensitivity. And the presence of core PE improves durability and abrasion resistance.

*Comparison of No. 4 *Comparison of the number of times the line is repeatedly rubbed and broken by a ceramic guide under a constant load (222g).The abrasion resistance of Monster Game 9 is approximately twice that of conventional 8-strand braids. This means it can be used longer and more safely.

With high durability and abrasion resistance, you can fight with confidence even against large fish.
Various lineups
Monster Game 9 comes in a wide variety of lineups for all types of lure games. The Monster Game 9 will be available in a variety of models: casting⇄, egging, vertical⇅, tilefish, and squid metal.
The Casting⇄ model maintains the characteristics of the 9-blade model, but has been specially designed with a braided structure and coating to improve guide release during casting and increase casting distance. The smooth, circular design allows the lure to run out of water easily, and its low elongation performance allows the angler to quickly detect bites in remote areas. It is available in a single pink color.
The eging model is equipped with durability, sensitivity, and abrasion performance, and also features a special coating that facilitates smooth line release, thereby reducing line trouble. This reduces line trouble. It also has excellent drainage performance, preventing water from penetrating and clinging to the line underwater. The color is a highly visible yellow with black markings at 1 m intervals, making it easy to catch fish at small depths.
Vertical model ⇅ is a model that shows its power in drop fishing such as jigging, etc. In addition to the security of high durability of 9 lines, its high roundness reduces resistance in the water, allowing it to quickly touch the bottom and approach the target layer, and it also has excellent jerking performance. This model allows anglers to enjoy the feel and direct manipulation of a line one size smaller. The coloring is divided into five colors for every 10m, with black and red markings for every 5m and silver markings for every 1m, enabling anglers to grasp the depth of the water with great accuracy.
The squid metal model has the same low-stretch performance as the vertical model (⇅), enabling anglers to grasp even the slightest squid bite. It also has less line spatter and can catch a bite directly. Five colors are available for every 10m, with black and red markings for every 5m and silver markings for every 1m. The colors are highly visible even at night.
The last model introduced here is the TAIRABA model. The high circularity of this model also allows the angler to quickly drop the tie-laba, prevents the line from spilling, and allows smooth operation of the tie-laba when reeling it in at a constant speed. The moderate bounce and smooth surface of the lure make it trouble-free even when throwing it a little, and the low-stretch design allows the angler to more clearly detect the bite of the sea bream that clings to the lure and pokes at the tie-laba. The colors are color-coded in 5 colors for every 10m, with black and red markings for every 5m and silver markings for every 1m. This allows for a quick grasp of the fish’s position, and the 1-meter markings make it easy to determine the fish’s speed.
