Quick take
Eight-strand braided line with thin 0.18 mm diameter and 26.5 lb breaking strength for sensitivity and distance.
Daiwa J-Braid X8 is an eight-strand braided line spun from polyethylene fibers in Japan, with a round profile and very little stretch. This 0.18 mm spool holds 300 meters in chartreuse and carries a 26.5 lb line test. It suits anglers who want a thin, smooth braid for spinning or baitcasting setups and a high-visibility color on the water.
