Best braid ive ever used.
12 October 2022J.

originally posted on discounttackle.com

i use the 6lb for ultralight fishing and i was suprised that it casts farther than the 2lb mono i was using previously. ive tried the suffix 832, power pro, and many others and this is MILES better than everything else ive tried. super smooth and extremely small diameter.

Diawa J-Braid vs. Sufix 832
7 September 2021Craig M.

originally posted on discounttackle.com

After months of trying different lines, I settled on Sufix 832, deeming that it was the best. Then I tried Diawa J-Braid and Holy Whaaa...I found the best. Hear me out, both these lines perform very very well. For my testing, I used the same reel, same poles and same lures, side by side. I have no complaints. There is very little resistance and they can cast a mile under right conditions. After a lot of heavy use they can both fray, and you end up sacrificing large sections. The main difference is the sound through the eyes. There is practically no braid pull sound with the J-Braid. That translates to its easier on the fishing pole long term.

I fished this for the first time last summer for bluefin and now have it on all my reels. Consistent quality and strength, good round shape to the line (not as flat as a 4 carrier, and I like the island blue color for offshore fishing. Out in blue water, it is not as visible as the moss greens, bright yellow, or white. While it may not make much difference to the fish as I use 75 to 100 feet of top shot, it gives me more confidence, and a fisherman's confidence adds up to more fish making it to the boat. The color is also light enough to mark with a sharpie to give you precise depth control. I have it marked every 50 feet, and its easy to see the marks when dropping jigs down deep.

Fantastic braid
29 April 2022

Fantastic braid, have used other brands like Savage Gear. This is much smoother and stronger for the same lb rating when tying FG knotsbat least. I have replaced my standard J Braid with this as its smoother and seems to absorb less water, casts better etc.

Fantastic for what I do!
1 May 2022

I'm the kind of angler that likes to try different things, including just about every braid from Chinese crap to the most expensive.i almost exclusively use 10lb test to catch snook redfish,jacks etc off the beach.i find myself going back to j-braid grand and momoi diamond braid x8 .super soft and pliable and casts like a dream!! Highly recommend!! The only downside if any is if im fishing bridges,docks mangroves the abrasion resistance might be challenged.

Great braid. Issue with 6lb version
1 October 2021

Probably the furthest and smoothest casting line I've ever used. Bought the 8lb in blue and it pairs perfectly with ceymar C10 reel and celilo rod. Makes for a super lightweight and capable rig that works great for all day lake fishing. One warning though- I tried the the 6lb version and that bird-nested really badly at least once per outing. It's just too flimsy, so I don't recommend that particular version. 8lb doesn't have that problem though

Little Confidence in Build Quality of this line!
31 August 2020

Seemed like the line was not consistent, that there were areas that it looked like the line had abrasion areas or inconsistencies. In these areas, the line was definitely weaker than it should have been. I am a bit fearful of both lost fish and lost lures. Since this 80 pound braid line was purchased for musky fishing - I am fearful that I made a mistake in buying this Daiwa branded line! I bought two spools of it and now have it on my musky reels and have already lost one lure from what appears to be an area of line that the spinning process was not performed properly. I am thinking I need to remove all of this line from my reels - throw in away and purchase another brand.This was part of my first ever on-line purchase from Fleet Farm. Fleet Farm was terrific, ... MoreSeemed like the line was not consistent, that there were areas that it looked like the line had abrasion areas or inconsistencies.

One of the best!
7 August 2021

This product has not let me down. It holds up to the punishment of distance surf casting in the currents and the Jetty's and cast wonderfully. I say distance but my skills net me just over 100 yards...not quite a pro but better than most I run into here the gulf. The line is consistent and very smooth which also makes it quiet. Hard to get used to hearing line noise after you get used to not hearing it. The only problem i have with this line is that it seems that when I go to buy the light gray is always harder to find. Highly recommended!Tight lines!

Quietest braid ever
7 August 2022

When I first tried the J-8 Grand several years ago I was not impressed. It was good line but wind-knotted frequently which makes it not so good. So I picked up another spool in my normal 8# and what a difference. I switched from the grey to the marine blue and the difference is unbelievable. Unfortunately I will never know why the newer Grand is better but it is the only line I use and buy currently. The 8# landed a 32" drum in the OBX surf so I know it is strong!

Sure is Pretty
24 July 2021

I tried the 80# Diawa J-Braid line a couple of years ago for muskies. I thought it handled as well as any line and I'm a fan of the blue color. Though green seems more invisible in the water looking from the top or side, I'm guessing the blue might be more invisible from below looking up at the sky? It also looks really pretty on most reels if you're into that and all other things being equal - why not?. I saw this "Grand" version so I decided to try it. It's a little slicker and more supple than the original. I've only used it for a couple of hours but my impression is that it casts and retrieves a little smoother and makes a bit less zipping noise going through the guides so I'd say as much as I liked the original, I like the Grand even better.I'm thinking it ... MoreI tried the 80# Diawa J-Braid line a couple of years ago for muskies.
