Daiwa J-Braid 150M 8-Strand Woven Round Braid Line

Good line. Worth the price.

love this braid

I use this or Suffix 832 which I really cant tell the difference in. If you are ever in need of a quality braid but they dont have your favorite in stock give Diawa J-Braid a try. I use to be a Power Pro guy but switched over to J-Braid 3 yrs ago and never looked back

A friend of mine that is a Charter Captain recently told me about this fishing line. It's crazy small diameter for the break strength. The only issue with it is that it's so slick that sometimes knots come untied if you aren't using a leader. I always use a fluoro leader so it hasn't been an issue for me.I'll be using this line on my Catfish Trolling rig. #30lb should be strong enough to get a giant Channel Cat to the boat but light enough that if I get snagged during a troll, I can still break it free.

It's very smooth and does not make a lot of noise going through guides or on line rollers.it's also thicker than 4 strand braid and does not cast as far. The other issue is it's kind of floppy and can result in lots of windknots on spinning reels.Other than that I have been using it on several baitcasters and spinning reels. On most of the spinning reels it keeps getting reduced because of the bad wind knots.

15 lb. Test with the diameter of 6lb. or less. Casts great.

One of the best braids I've ever used. I was normally a Suffix Performance and 832 user - not any more. This behaves well on spin (currently on Penn Battle II and Penn Clash 4k and 5k and Quantum Boca 40 and 60) but it behaves exceptionally well on conventional/baitcaster (on my Abu Record 60, Luna 300, and Avet SX). It's more limp than coated so you may get a tip loop if you don't pay attention but this is largely a user issue. It's very durable - even without the coating. It makes little noise through the guides (mostly a minor issue with braids). The most important thing you have to remember is this stuff tests true on breaking strength. The 30# really is 30# - not 40# like everyone else. That also means the 30# in this is the diameter of 20# for other braids. This is important - if you are used to 20# and you buy 20# in this - you may have casting issues in saltwater with headwind on the beach. It also means you have to pay attention to the capacity. Overall excellent braid at a great price point.

I have used j-braid on my heavy outfits for years, but the 15-lb was awful. Wind knots galore, and won’t hold a knot very well. Lost a nice fish when it broke at my fg knot.Swapped back to power pro and had no issues casting same baits on same outfit.
