Shimano Pitbull 12

Introducing a dependable line from Japan: the Pitbull 12, a twelve-strand PE line that marks Shimano's first venture into this technology. Crafted from high-molecular-weight polyethylene, it boasts high strength and low elongation due to an original manufacturing process designed to enhance these features.

Enhanced Operability and Hooking: The Pitbull 12 enables more direct control and contributes significantly to hooking, thanks to its low elongation concept. This design choice ensures that the line remains taut, allowing for more accurate and responsive handling.

Reduced Guide Trouble: The line is engineered to retain a degree of stiffness, minimizing slack that can lead to guide entanglement and thereby preventing fishing line troubles.

Casting Tune: Through extensive testing, a braiding technique was developed to make casting easier and reduce backlashes, contributing to a smoother fishing experience. Initial feedback from users highlights the line's ease of casting and its ability to achieve longer distances with reduced drag resistance. Users have reported significant improvements in handling, especially when fishing for trophy-sized sea bass, noting the absence of anxiety even after catching several large fish. Initial samples were deemed too stiff, leading to occasional backlashes, but subsequent refinements have eliminated these issues, showcasing the line's strength and reliability.

User Impressions: Anglers are pleasantly surprised by the smooth surface resistance of the line, which reduces drag and notably extends casting distance. Its performance in the surf, resisting wave action that can carry away the line, has also been praised. For lure control within turbulent waters, the twelve-strand Pitbull 12 is preferred for its smooth reeling and ease of lure adjustment, with sizes 1.2 to 1.5 being particularly favored for targeting large Japanese seabass (Hirasuzuki).

This introduction to Shimano's Pitbull 12 line underscores its commitment to providing anglers with high-quality, innovative products that enhance the fishing experience by offering greater strength, reduced elongation, and superior casting capabilities.
