The ultimate new braid in the J-Braid family, Daiwa J-Braid Grand x8 is some of the strongest and most abrasion resistant 8-carrier braided fishing line ever put on the market. Yet, despite its durability, J-Braid Grand x8 is also extremely soft, supple, and easy-to-spool.
How is fishing line with such remarkable characteristics possible? J-Braid Grand x8 is spun with IZANAS, a new, state-of-the-art, high-modulus fiber that is leaps and bounds stronger than any other fiber material on the market. Now, you may be asking yourself: "Hey, doesn't every fishing line claim to be the strongest, most supple line out there? How is this stuff any different?" And you wouldn't be wrong for wondering. Many a fishing line company has made such a claim with little, if any, evidence to support it. But the fine folks at Daiwa don't play like that: when they make a claim, they stick by it and back it up. And that's why in the graph below you can see that, when compared with other fiber materials on the market, nothing exhibits a strength index quite like IZANAS.

It's roughly four times stronger than polyester nylon (what most monofilament is made of), twice as strong as fluorocarbon, and is even stronger than aramid, a class of military- and aerospace-grade fibers that includes Kevlar (aka the stuff bulletproof vests are made of), among others.
Dark Green J-Braid Grand x8 is great for situations for where you wish to employ a more natural presentation or when you want to tie your hook or lure directly on to the line without a leader. Available in 150 and 300 yard spools in test strengths ranging for 6 pound to 80 pound. See table below for full details on test strength and line diameter.

Shipping
Domestic Shipments:
For domestic shipments, all items 15.99 ounces and under are shipped USPS First Class Mail.
The standard delivery time for these packages is 2-5 business days. All Items 16 ounces and above are shipped USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate (1-3 business days).
For an additional fee, USPS Priority Mail (1-3 business days) is available on all orders. All tracking information is automatically uploaded to your "My eBay" page at time of shipment. Shipments on items paid for with PayPal ship when payment clears. Once payment is clear, orders are shipped daily -- Monday through Saturday. All items are packed very carefully for loss prevention.
International Shipments:
We ship to Canada, Europe, Australia, and many countries throughout the world including military bases every day with no difficulty.
However, international shipping is much different than domestic shipping so, please understand the following: in most cases you will have 3 shipping options to choose from at checkout.
Economy International Shipping is by far the least expensive service available. Please note that Economy International Shipping is a very reliable service but it is slow. In our experience, 2 weeks is the average transit time, but packages can regularly take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to arrive after leaving our facility.
There is no route tracking along the way.
If you desire more security, faster delivery, and are willing to pay the fee, we will ship Standard International Shipping (e-packet). We can also ship USPS Priority International or USPS Express Mail which are insurable and trackable.
Depending on your country's laws, you may be subject to import duties and taxes on your purchase. Your charge from Departure Outdoors includes the cost of your items, the cost of shipping, and any additional import duties and taxes at the time of delivery prior to your package being released to you.
Customs and taxation policies vary widely from country to country so please contact your local government office if you'd like more information.
