DaiwaJ Braid X8 Grand

Diawa Jbraid is Quality like no other. Being a braid the thickness allows for great knot strength which enhances your fishing ability. The value you get can literally last for seasons.

Slick and smooth casting. Cannot say this is the best or anything but it is great. I am a summer time causal angler and although probably not needed I swap out line each season. I use a 6'10" rod with a size 4000 spinning reel. I use mono for a backing not sure on length but I use 8# backing and about 100-150 yard. Then use about 60-80 yard of this braid. My reel spool is aluminum and has a mark to spool to. I could probably use a thinner braid since I mainly lake fish for trout or bass. But got the 15# braid in case I got lucky and got a lake salmon. Normally I have this braid tied to 8# fluorocarbon trout leader about 7-10'. Which works out well the fluorocarbon is .235mm thick while this is .19mm thick. My older 10# braid is .15mm thick so when I shop for braid I base off of thickness rather than line test. This braid is easily tied and knots hold. I have tested my knots and although I am not a great knot person at knots seem to hold up to 20# holding my rod at 45° angle and putting a hook on my scale similar way when testing reel drag. Most lakes in south king county are not so clear so I think that dark green is a good color. I mostly fish using trout magnet jigs , plastic worms Carolina rigged , rooster tail spinners and every now and then when I feel like something big will bite I use some casting spoons. I should mention that my rod has micro guides and some knots can get caught if tied to a leader. I use what the internet calls a crazy Alberto knot to tie the leader on and it seems to be smooth enough.

Very good quality braided line. Very strong and casts a mile. Wish I went up a size to reduce the chance of wind knots.

Sure, there is better, but your going to pay double. This line is strong and thin. I can cast it a mile and it is very strong. I use 15lb test. Wind knots are rare, quality is good. I use this line on a few of my reels. I highly recommend it!

liked the looks and feel of the line. very small and stout for the diameter. have not used. the ad that i was reading and caused me to buy (first time for diawa) was for 300 yards. i looked several times b4 ordering. the spool i received was 165 (OR 150). THE REVIEW REQUEST EVEN SAYS 300 - DO I RETURN ARE DO YOU WANT TO SEND ANOTER 150 YARD SPOOL- MAYBE 10 OR 20# to try.

10lb, Smooth, VERY strong & long lasting and supple as well.

Honestly amazing braid for fishing. If you’re looking for braided line, just get the J Braid lines. I use them almost exclusively on all my reels because I know they are awesome.

I purchased this line to pair with a Penn Spinfisher. I love Penn reels but they are picky about what braid they want on them. After a few other popular braids made me want to scream, I found this line and it is working great with all my Penns'. This is my line of choice from here on out. Cast a mile

Almost feels like dacron, definitely different from other braids. Like most braids it will get cut easily fishing rocky areas, but so far I'm impressed. Nice blue color, somewhat easy to see but not as bright as a yellow or lime green braid. Which is alright for me. Strong as any braid I've used before. Handling and casting is amazing, so far the best I've ever used. Loving it so far. Update: color faded like all other braid. But not a deal breaker. Still holding up well. Update #2: I've had this line now for 4 years, I fish at least 4 days a week. It's almost all white, I have about 70 yards left in total. Excellent line, will order more.

Muy buena calidad

Awesome line as usual from daiwa.
