The Berkley x9 Braid is a floating line made of 100% PE fibers. 8 braided fibers are widely used. Berkley x9 takes it to a new level by adding an extra fiber. The x9 is therefore extremely strong and tear-resistant and manufactured in the USA in such a way that it is supple and can therefore be thrown effortlessly and far. It is great for any type of spin fishing. Regardless of whether it is fresh or salt water, the line is quiet in the rod rings and does not have the annoying “singing” in the water. Available in three colors: dark green white (class) and a fluor green (almost Yellow).

I used 15 and 20 lb low vis green on multiple spinning outfits extensively. The line performed well for the first season (Apr-Oct 2021). However, this season I'm encountering a lot problems with fluorocarbon leaders cutting the braid on the 3 outfits with te 15 lb braid. The issue has cost me several nice SM bass and a couple dozen swimbaits cast in bull rush and wild rice beds. I have not had this problem on the 3 outfits with the 20 lb braid. Needless to say, I was more than frustrated losing fish and lures, and all the lost time retieing on a new leader multiple times a day. My rods are always stored in a rod locker when not in use and in a dry basement during the winter so I don't think my rod storage conditions played a role in the breakdown of the line.

I had basically settled into use of one braid in various strengths, but the finer diameter of the X9 made me want to give it a try. I topped off my reel and headed for the surf to give the line a test and possibly even catch a fluke. I was throwing a 1 ounce bucktail with teaser and picked a few short fluke. Looked down at the reel and saw a loose end protruding from the spool/ Manually removed the line til I got to the break and re-tied my rig. Now why it broke is a complete mystery to me, but I'll stick with my regular braid and not chance a mystery break like the one I experienced this morning.

Fishing line might seem a little boring; for me, I *want* it to be boring. Just get the bait out there and the fish back into the boat. X9 has a nice color and doesn't seem to fade very fast (and much slower than some). X9 handles really well. One note: if you're buying the "small" spools, you get about 10 % more per spool. That is, most come at 150 yards and X9 comes at 165 yards. Hey - it's braid; good price. Buy it.

Great stuff, it’s slick so it doesn’t absorb as much water, lasts longer than standard braid. Holds knots well with my leaders. The diameter of x9 is smaller compared to other brands in the same pound test. Casts further. My favorite braid at a great price point.
I usually always use Power Pro but thought I would try something different and the guy at the tackle shop said to give the X9 a try. I bought the 20 pound test which is the same test as the power pro I have on my other rod. Took both set ups out today I hooked two small Pike on the rod spooled with the X9 and they both broke me off. Then I lost two other lures trying to get them unsnagged, didn’t really feel like I pulled on them that hard. I caught two other Pike about the same size on my rod with the power pro and landed them both with no problem. On the plus side, it does cast nicely on my spinning reel on the plus side, does cast nicely on my spinning reel. Maybe I just got a bad batch?
The best braided line I have used thus far. Line is extremely smooth. Extremely Sensitive even for the smallest bites. Works well on both spinning and baitcasting reels. The knot strength is excellent for a braided line. I use a palomar knot and have not had a single not failure even when setting the hook on a big bass or when fighting a large catfish.I really like how smooth the line is too, I'd doesn't sound/feel like the line is sawing through your rod guides like it does with some other braided lines.I prefer the dark/low-vis green as the lakes I fish in are pretty muddy so I'm not too concerned about fish being able to see the line, but if you're in clearer water you may want to use a fluorocarbon/monofilament leader.The only downside I can think of with ... MoreThe best braided line I have used thus far.

I don’t have a order issue but this says customer service. So I have a complaint. I am an Lake Erie walleye fisherman I recently strung 4 of my trolling rods with Berkley X5 braid. First time out had fish at boat the line broke so I lost my fish and a 10 dollar lure. Didn’t think too much about it until the next rod did same thing with a 40 dollar in line board and another 10 dollar lure. So stopped using them. Got home and found out the line is breaking on all 4 rods and not at the knot. It’s actually breaking the line. So stringing 4 rods was 45 dollars board 40 dollars and lures 20 bucks. That’s 105 dollar loss because I used this product. I am not very happy with that. Also good luck with customer service.
I bought this line 2 weeks (June 29) ago it was 30 lbs test. It has been the worst line Ive ever used! The first day out I had it fray on me (see picture). It seemed as though one strand seperated from the rest and then all of the other bunched up so I had to pull a bunch of the line off and start again. The next outting I was using top water frog and when I would set the hook the line would break about 5-6" from the hook. I was lucky enough to get one of my frogs back and thats how I realized it wasnt breaking at the knot like I first thought. The bass I was fishing were only 2.5 lbs so I shouldnt have broken off. Overall this line is very poorly made and I will not buy it again. Waste of money
In general this would be quite good braid but it have one giant disadvantage that eliminates it in my opinion. Last year I have tested 0,12 and 014 mm lines for seatrout fishing in European fisheries. This line have big tendency to tangle when falling off the reel spool during dynamic casts. It can happen for example when 20 meters of the line is already out. This tangles are not possible to disentangle what causes that you have to cut these 20 meters of good line. I think that reason of it could be a odd number (x9) of the fibers in this braid. My friends have very similar experieces with this line and problem is happening on many reels (Daiwa BG, Penn Spinnfisher, Ryobi Zauber).
This is a great product. I bought the 10lb as I have just recently starting using braid to mono and braid to flouro leaders on my spinning gear. This is super smooth line and is easy to manage and tie when joining it to your leader line. It casts like a dream and is smooth through the guides with minimal sound and resistance. I highly recommend the x9 if you are tired of wind knots, kinking and memory in your traditional mono or flouro setups. First trip out landed multiple 2.5-3.5 lb bass and the bite with braid is just amazing.....Awesome product!
