Quick take

8-strand UHMWPE braided line with smooth surface, low memory and high visibility colors for long-distance casting.

This RIKIMARU 8X Pro is an eight-strand braided line woven from polyethylene fiber, here in a 40 lb class on a 300-yard spool in Plum Pink. A tight braid gives a round, smooth line that suits casting and carries little memory. Anglers who want a braid for freshwater or saltwater setups, with a bright color that is easy to follow on the water, will find it a practical spool to try.

Best for

  • Anglers who need line that floats and resists rotation
  • Saltwater and freshwater applications requiring sensitivity
  • Long-distance casting on spinning and baitcasting reels

Skip if

  • You prefer line that sinks quickly
  • You are a beginning angler unfamiliar with braid

Strengths

  • 8-strand construction is tighter and stronger than fewer strands
  • 36 crossings per inch makes the braid rounder and smoother
  • High-visibility colors stay visible in water

Trade-offs

  • Braided line requires special knots and care
  • Abrasive braid can wear guides on rods over time
