Daiwa J-Braid X8 Made from the best materials from Japan, Daiwa's x8 J-Braid will never disappoint. 8 Strands of tightly woven fibers makes for a perfectly round profile. The result is a much stronger, softer and smoother line that is more sensitive and farther casting. J-Braid is one of the best quality and value braided lines on the market. By using ultra thin materials the J-Braid is super soft and smooth, this is noticeable the second you touch it. The 8 strand weave results in very high circularity and a super smooth surface that contributes to longer casting distance as well as quieter line travel through the guides and on the reel. In comparison with many braids out in the market J-Braid delivers ultra low stretch and high strength for a small diameter thanks to its high quality, Japanese-made yarn. And as many will discover it is ‘great value for money’. J-Braid went through extensive testing around the world. It was tested as a light lure braid ‘down under’ right through to Deep Ocean jigging and hitting GT’s on poppers off tropical islands.
