Review on ๐ŸŽฃ Daiwa J-Braid 8-Strand Woven Round Braid Line - 300M Length by Jeremy Kakaruk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Strong and soft to the touch

Bought a 20lb multi color 8 strand J braid. Very satisfied. We're talking about a 6lb mono thickness. The braid feels smooth, like mono. I don't think he cuts my finger every time I flog. I don't use gloves or anything on my finger. I usually whip with 1 ounce lead or bubble floats. I also like to see different colors when I'm throwing, which gives me an idea of how far I'm throwing. I haven't had wind knots yet. The braid does not stretch, which makes it more delicate. I walk through sections of reef and haven't had any issues with the braid fraying or cutting. Most of the time the leader or hook gets stuck in the reef, forcing me to break the line. The only thing that confuses me is that the color spreads a bit. So if you swipe your fingers along the line, a colored line will appear on your fingers. In addition, this is a great line and looks great when spooled.

Pros
  • The Chartreuse line is easily visible, helping to detect even the smallest movement of the line.
Cons
  • Good but not great
