Daiwa JBGD8U6-150GL J-Braid X8 Grand Braided Line, 150 Yards, 6 Lbs Tested, .003" Diameter, Light Gray

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.

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.

Daiwa J-Braid has became my favorite braid to date. Unlike other braids, it does not dig into itself and does not fray nearly as much as other higher end braids.

Run of the mill braid quality for 15#. Average wind knots and durability, slight color fade after a few trips. I went back to 4 strand spectra after using this for inshore fishing.

Love the j braid brand! I stopped using powerpro altogether. For me the j braid gave me less wind knots in comparison to the power pro and its cheaper!

This is the first time I tried this braid , It casted flawless. This is my go to braid from here on out , don’t pass this line up.

Silky smooth and good quality braid. Perfect at the price point. One thing I would mention, if you need this for cutting through kelp in SoCal you're probably better off getting something a bit more rugged like powerpro.

I have used several brands of braid for Bass fishing. I would put it on par with the most expensive stuff out there. It is very quiet and smooth. I always tie a flouracarbon leader on. This will now be my go to brand.
