Popping Tuna Kits

Shimano recommends OCEA 17+ as a purpose-built line option for tuna popping, delivering exceptional casting distance, abrasion resistance, and knot strength to help anglers maximize every opportunity at long range.

Its ultra-round, smooth profile reduces friction through the guides, allowing larger stickbaits and poppers to be launched farther while maintaining the strength needed to battle powerful tuna.
