Caught a fair share of wallys & wipers 10#+ & cats twice that size with zero breakoff during fish fights. Thinner & smoother than my usual go to Sufix 832 15# yellow so longer casting with the same weight jigs. Pleasantly surprised that I got zero wind knots. Light gray color was indeed decently high vis.

I bought a 3000 yd bulk spool of the 40 lb test of the J-Braid x8 Grand and it broke when I tightened a fg knot. The knot held and the braid broke in the middle of the line. I checked it with a fish scale and it broke at around 25 lbs. I then tied the braid to a 25 lb dumbell and it would break before the entire weight came off of the ground. Really disappointed with how bad this line is. Sent an email to Daiwa asking them about it but they never responded.

Bought 6 pound Diawa J-braid, thought it would be great quality - made in Japan etc.. used for light saltwater estuary, & freshwater (bass & trout) on decent 1000 shimano Reels.Instantly had abrasion / wearing issues, gained wind knots easily & snapped once or twice with little pressure. Relative to other products I've used I wouldn't rate it highly (in my opinion). Still prefer Fins / Power pro etc. I've used in the past.Also trying Berkley ultracast soon. TBA

After months of trying different lines, I settled on Sufix 832, deeming that it was the best. Then I tried Diawa J-Braid and Holy Whaaa...I found the best. Hear me out, both these lines perform very very well. For my testing, I used the same reel, same poles and same lures, side by side. I have no complaints. There is very little resistance and they can cast a mile under right conditions. After a lot of heavy use they can both fray, and you end up sacrificing large sections. The main difference is the sound through the eyes. There is practically no braid pull sound with the J-Braid. That translates to its easier on the fishing pole long term.
Everything you want in a braided line. Casts far because it’s pretty thin but man it’s super strong stuff. Tried this out because of all the great things I’ve heard. A little pricey but absolutely worth it if you have the extra change
Seemed like the line was not consistent, that there were areas that it looked like the line had abrasion areas or inconsistencies. In these areas, the line was definitely weaker than it should have been. I am a bit fearful of both lost fish and lost lures. Since this 80 pound braid line was purchased for musky fishing - I am fearful that I made a mistake in buying this Daiwa branded line! I bought two spools of it and now have it on my musky reels and have already lost one lure from what appears to be an area of line that the spinning process was not performed properly. I am thinking I need to remove all of this line from my reels - throw in away and purchase another brand.This was part of my first ever on-line purchase from Fleet Farm.

Fleet Farm was terrific, easy to order, shipped on time, thumbs up to Fleet Farm (they are just the seller, not the manufacturer of this product - sort of goes without saying . . . but)
This product has not let me down. It holds up to the punishment of distance surf casting in the currents and the Jetty's and cast wonderfully. I say distance but my skills net me just over 100 yards...not quite a pro but better than most I run into here the gulf. The line is consistent and very smooth which also makes it quiet. Hard to get used to hearing line noise after you get used to not hearing it. The only problem i have with this line is that it seems that when I go to buy the light gray is always harder to find. Highly recommended!Tight lines!
When I first tried the J-8 Grand several years ago I was not impressed. It was good line but wind-knotted frequently which makes it not so good. So I picked up another spool in my normal 8# and what a difference. I switched from the grey to the marine blue and the difference is unbelievable. Unfortunately I will never know why the newer Grand is better but it is the only line I use and buy currently. The 8# landed a 32" drum in the OBX surf so I know it is strong!
I tried the 80# Diawa J-Braid line a couple of years ago for muskies. I thought it handled as well as any line and I'm a fan of the blue color. Though green seems more invisible in the water looking from the top or side, I'm guessing the blue might be more invisible from below looking up at the sky? It also looks really pretty on most reels if you're into that and all other things being equal - why not?. I saw this "Grand" version so I decided to try it. It's a little slicker and more supple than the original. I've only used it for a couple of hours but my impression is that it casts and retrieves a little smoother and makes a bit less zipping noise going through the guides so I'd say as much as I liked the original, I like the Grand even better.I'm thinking it ... MoreI tried the 80# Diawa J-Braid line a couple of years ago for muskies.

I have used this for my different areas such as dams estuary's and off shore local and mid QLD places caching frees water salt water species and it has always handled the species that i have caught. I have actually. found it better than some other brands that I have used in the past
