Description / Daiwa J Braid X8

Experience the pinnacle of performance and value with Daiwa J-Braid X8, a premium, 8-strand braided fishing line developed and manufactured entirely in Japan. This isn't just another braid; it's a meticulously crafted line designed for anglers who demand the best in strength, casting distance, and sensitivity.

Pure Japanese 8 Braid: The heart of J-Braid is its high-quality, Japanese-made yarn. The intricate 8-strand weave creates a perfectly round, ultra-smooth surface. This superior construction is what makes J-Braid X8 so soft and supple, setting it apart from other braids on the market.

Exceptional Casting Distance & Quiet Operation: The smooth, circular profile of J-Braid X8 drastically reduces friction as it travels through your rod guides and off the reel. The result is significantly longer, more effortless casting and remarkably quiet line travel, giving you a stealthy advantage on the water.

Ultra Low Stretch, High Strength: By using advanced materials, J-Braid X8 delivers ultra-low stretch and an impressive high strength-to-diameter ratio. This translates to incredible sensitivity, allowing you to feel even the most subtle takes, and the power to land big fish without fear of line failure.

Globally Tested & Proven: This line has been put through its paces in the most demanding fishing environments worldwide. From light lure fishing in shallow waters to deep ocean jigging and battling powerful GTs on poppers, J-Braid X8 consistently delivers outstanding performance and reliability.

Multi-Purpose and Versatile: The versatility of J-Braid X8 makes it the perfect choice for a wide range of fishing styles. Whether you're lure fishing, jigging, or targeting large predators, this line will exceed your expectations.

Colour Options: J-Braid is available in three versatile colour choices to suit your fishing needs:

Chartreuse: High-visibility for easy line tracking and bite detection.

Dark Green: A subtle, natural colour for stealthy presentations.

Multi-Colour: Features 5 distinct colours metered in 1, 5, and 10-meter increments, ideal for deep-water fishing and accurately targeting specific depths.

Wide Range of Diameters and Spool Sizes: With diameters ranging from an ultra-fine 0.06mm up to 0.42mm, and a variety of spool sizes, there's a J-Braid X8 line for every application and reel.

Unbeatable Value for Money: Despite its premium quality and Japanese craftsmanship, J-Braid X8 offers exceptional value, making high-performance braided line accessible to all anglers.

Here at Angling Active we recommend using a 5 turn grinner knot for tying J-braid to swivels or terminal tackle or an FG knot straight onto a fluorocarbon leader for a more stealthy presentation and a connection that will easily pass through the rod guides.

The Daiwa J-Braid X8 is available in a range of options for you to choose from in our drop down menus.

Daiwa J Braid X8-Dark Green-300m-103lb
Review by Stephen Lynas
When you're after big pike and casting big lures on your heavy duty gear you need to have faith in your end tackle.
This braid, at 103lb, is a dream to cast and is great for pulling your lures out of snags.
You expect it to be like a washing line at that strength but it isn't.
I'll happily continue to use it in future.

Review by Keith
The line was despatched quickly, as always with Angling Active, and I received it 2 days from ordering. I’m very satisfied with it, the line fishes well and the beauty of a braided line is its smaller diameter, hence more yards on the reel which gives assurance should a fish require more line when it’s being played.

Daiwa J Braid X8-Dark Green-150m-40lb
Review by DAVID
This braid is the first braid I've used when lure fishing. Ihave used it once and had no problems. Therefore I have nothing to judge it against. But it seems I have waited too long to try it. From my very limited experience of it, I have no doubt it will greatly improve my lure fishing
