i have a bad experience with jbraid x8, after 2 months of fishing in salt, it snaps so easily even in casting and setting the hook, also the waxy coating that makes the line stiff - not a really big fan of it. but kastking super power braid on the other hand, i must say hands down for the quality you get from the price you pay, have a white 6lbs spooled in my ultralight setup for rock fishing targeting small to medium sized snappers and groupers yanking them out of the rocks for about almost 3 years now, haven't respooled even once, how 'bout that! though i agree with you about those wind knots and i think thats the only downside i get so far, cheers ish! nice review and please do a fishing video already using your fuego lt! ive been waiting for your experience about it! peace!

This folds up relatively small and extends out to a good length. kzitem.infoUgkxphFK7ETiDP5G4IGsNcg7vbASDp_YfDpI I would warn that while it folds down to a convenient size, it's still a bit too large to fit into my tacklebox, which I think is a pretty "normal" size. I guess a hardcore fisherman might have a hardcore box that's larger than mine, but for the typical once-a-year fisherman like me, it will have to be carried outside the box.

Thank you for this refreshing video. So many ''unboxings'' and ''reviews'' of cheap gear on YT it makes my head spin. As much as I think Kastking is much (much much) better at marketing than developing gear (read choosing from an OEM catalog), I also, like their braid. I used their Super Power, Fortis and Mega 8 mostly for surf fishing. I prefer Mega 8 for the smoothness (less noisy, further distance?). But the last spools I ordered it seems like the diameter of the line was different from the last order... The diameter itself is not as advertised. I measured 0.42mm for the 30 lbs zombie green advertised at 0.28mm. I could skwish it down to 0.33mm. But it's a strong line. Bought Seaknight Monster W8, diameter is thinner than Casting Mega 8 but still thicker than advertised. Have not tested it yet... Looking forward to your vids if you manage to test the 30lbs. Cheers! Keep up the good work.

hey man, found your video extremely informative. I have used the following lines: 832, slick 8, powerpro & kastking. I personally am not a fan of 832 as i've seen my knots slip and that hasn't happened at all with the other lines. however, maybe it was the random spool i got that didn't match up since i know and see so many others love it. maybe i'll give it another try in the future. powerpro & slick 8 are an easy and safe choice of quality/dependability for me. kastking...i'm so impressed with this line, just recently i landed my pb 40lb striper on 30lb braid w/kastkings 30lb flouro (no longer available) and it had ZERO issues. i just recently ordered from j-braid to spool up my seigler sg & penn slammer for an upcoming trip to Panama and your review gave me even more peace of mind. Also thanks for your trip on the Godline...I'll be sure to steer clear of it. Seems KastKing is the way to go if you're trying to save a buck, also their customer service is really good as i did have a small issue with one of their spools. i ended sending it back and they replaced it with a brand new spool. can't complain about that! Thanks again and Tight Lines!

LTTP on this video but thanks for putting it together! 95% of my fishing is off the rocks so I'm normally only spooling my reels with 80lb braid and your comparisons here are helpful for anyone tired of hunting for rockfish or cabs and constantly losing gear. I primarily have been using Piscifun Lunker braid and SeaKnight W8 more recently; I think for me Lunker has been more consistent in holding its strength whereas the W8 breaks off when I really think it shouldn't, but other than that everything you said about these brands was spot-on.

I've been using Reaction Tackle's braid for about 3 seasons now. Is it PowerPro? No, but it's like 1/3 - 1/2 the price and 9 of my reels are still spooled up with the OG braid for the past 3 years. Pretty good stuff for the money.

Hi i just watched your video. I have to say I used the power pro regular, the suffix 832, Berkley fireline, and tried a brand I can't remember the name of that I got my fiance for like 8 bucks. My most favorite line out of the ones I listed is power pro. That is my go to braid of all time. I love the knot strangth and it is strong as hell. I could pull in a Buick with it if my rod didn't break lol. I do like the fireline have had anything wrong with it but just feels brittle to me. I thought the 832 was trash and I thought the braid I got for my fiance was trash too. The 832 just barried it's self in my spool and couldn't get it out I ended up having to cut it out which ended up scratching my spool on my reel. Plus didn't like how it tied. I do wanna try Pline's braid they have out. I tried their tactical florocarbon and loved it so far but did only use it once right before the season was over. But had a lot better experience with their floro compared to a couple of others ive tried. But so far for braid my all time favorite is power pro original.

Love your channel, been following you for a while. I would like to see you get a decent mic for your voiceovers on them though, that cutting in and out, and tone change is not par with your quality of video and info bud. I will still be watching though >) I have had great luck with KK braid. I have never had it break, never had a failure. Love the rods, they are outstanding in Pro Tourney line, have many reels, so far no failures, though they have a finish issue with quality control, but no malfunctions yet, also a 99% saltwater guy.

thx for the tip man. so here's the deal: i film with my older samsung s7 phone. it has great, rich, stereoscopic audio pick up when my mouth is 3-4" from the screen. any farther and i drift away or it sounds tinny. i tried probably 4 different smartphone aux mics and none come close to the s7 onboard mic. so when i move product or reach for something, my voice drifts. i didn't think anyone would notice haha, guess i'm wrong! maybe the next phone will be better. re kk line, yup, pretty impressed with it, i stand behind my claim superpower is best budget braid out there.

Kastking has some very good reels for the price! Try Kastking kestrel elite spinning reel for ultra light fishing or valiant eagle baitcaster for bfs fishing it is pretty good and i catched a 52cm perch on the valiant eagle and 50cm on kestrel spinning! Also the roundness of a line does not determine if the line is good if you fish around rocks or vegetation you want a rougher 4x braid so it cuts true vegans and is abrassion resistant around rocks

@@ishwithfish My 2 rolls are from ebay ($20 for 2x110yd). My reel is spinning, and fish in a range 10 - 30lb. Also, my application does not require long cast, rather very light setup weight (sometimes using even 10lb mono main line is very difficult, memory and stiffness are huge factors). On a price factor: On my reel, I can use only half a roll 14 lb, the rest is 10 lb mono backing. Backing should be strong, but limpness is not a big factor: Big Game works great here.

I've used and still use the godline. Never had a problem yet. I've used it about 9 months now.. I just ordered an 80lb. line. 8stran braid. I ordered the 1500yrds roll and just put it on three of my trolling conventional reels. I paid 45.00 for it compared to other brand names for the same was about 130.00. I will review them all on my channel in about 6 months and let you know how they worked out. P.S. this was the new generation PE blade too. Tight lines

Having used most of the "amazon braids" I've fond that, if you're willing to shell out big money for your reel/rod combos, you should also invest in line. If your braid messes up on you, it could basically ruin your outing. Especially during surf casting, from experience. J-braid is deff my favorite game/rock fishing fishing braid for the price and power-pro is my go to surfcasting braid.

Ish With Fish it’s a P.E rated line and that’s what I use these days, the morning tide mates use them as there main line and it’s one of the or if not the best top braid for big game.
