Daiwa J-Braid - x4 VS x8 VS x8 Grand - Which Is Better?​



There are several different types of braided line. In general, there are 4-Carrier (x4) lines and 8-Carrier (x8) lines. The 4-Carrier line, which we've used for years as kind of like the first stuff that came out and it's really really great quality and very abrasion resistant. It does make a little noise going trough the guides and doesn't cast quite as far as the newer, smoother 8 carrier lines ( x8).

The 8-Carrier lines are smoother and thinner resulting is a quieter line that casts farther. The downfall is that it is not quite as abrasion resistant.

Well, that’s the way it was until this new product came out. Daiwa came out with this new J-Braid 8-Carrier Grand. It’s a new technology that is allowing the 8-Carrier to have all of the advantages of the 8-Carrier line but it has the same abrasion-resisance or better than the 4-Carrier line. So really you are getting the best of both worlds there. You are getting the thin diameter, the long casting and it is more abrasion-resistant than the 4-Carrier. Make your line decision on what you need the most, do you need abrasion-resistance around the mangroves or do you need the smooth casting of the 8-Carrier? Or you can make the decision to go with the Daiwa 8-Grand and get the best of both worlds.

Daiwa J Braid fishing line review​




A few months ago I bought myself some Daiwa J braid fishing line. I needed new braided fishing line and the shop I went into did not stock my usual line. I decided on Daiwa J braid as a substitute on the advice of the lady at the shop. Since buying this braided fishing line I have promised a number of people that I would film a review of it, but I needed to use it for a while and give it time first. Well, after a few months of using the 50lb Daiwa J braid braided fishing line, I have finally had the chance to film my fishing line review, and here it is.
