Today in Garden City, NY Eposeidon, Inc. (www.eposeidon.com) the parent company of KastKing® announced the introduction of a new addition to the 2016 product lineup, KastKing® MaxThin8, a newly designed thinner, stronger, 8 strand braided fishing line.
KastKing MaxThin8 Aqua Green
KastKing® MaxThin8 Superior Braid has an improved power to diameter ratio made possible through a special high-tech design and manufacturing process. As a result KastKing® MaxThin8 Superior Braid is up to 30% thinner than other brands without sacrificing strength. It also creates a more resilient, smoother line that has less friction through fishing rod guides and has superior casting characteristics.
“KastKing® MaxThin8 Aqua Green braid line will be the go to line for anglers who want farther casting, more durability, and more finesse in their presentation. It’s a more powerful line with less thickness, which allows farther casting and is less affected by currents or wind. It is excellent for presenting lighter baits to hard fighting fish,” says Tom Gahan marketing director at Eposeidon. “KastKing®’s new 8-strand special technology has created a line that offers toughness, silky smoothness, and a smaller diameter at a more reasonable price. Those who had been using 50 lb. test can now go up to 60 lb. line, have the thinness of 50 lb. line or less, and pick up 10 extra pounds of fighting power.”
16 lb – 60 lb test
KastKing® will continue to produce KastKing® Superpower braided line in all thicknesses for the world market. KastKing® Superpower Braid in 65 through 150 lb. test will continue to be made in 8-strand Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber. 50 lb test and less will remain as 4-strand. KastKing®’s introduction of Superpower Braid in 2013, which saved anglers up to 50% on braid fishing line purchases, swept into 140 countries within two years.
“Superior for sure!” says Eposeidon Angler Consultant Darcy Hill in Charleston, SC, who typically targets large bull reds (red drum) around rough structure. “MaxThin8 is a true ‘gourmet’, top-shelf 8-strand braided line. We feel it will be as successful as our original Superpower braided line.”
Aqua Green KastKing® MaxThin8 Superior Braid fishing line comes in attractive retail packaging and is available in 165 yard/ 150 meter spools in 16 lb. / 7.2 kg., 22 lb. / 9.9 kg., 25 lb. / 11.3 kg., 30 lb. / 13.6 kg., 40 lb./ 18.1 kg., 50 lb. / 22.6 kg., 60 lb. / 27.2 kg. test with a MSRP of $32.98 USD. It will retail in the mid twenty-dollar range at www.eposeidon.com, amazon.com, and other exclusive on-line sellers.
“We are very proud of KastKing® MaxThin8,” says Eposeidon CEO, Tate Cui. “KastKing® MaxThin8 Superior Braid is produced with advanced engineering and manufacturing technology. It is a proprietary process. KastKing® MaxThin8 represents the future of high performance braid line.”
