With the Daiwa® J-Braid® x8 Grand Braid, you can cast out with total confidence that your line will NOT snap when the big one strikes. Made of the finest materials Japan has to offer, this Daiwa fish braid is spun with Izanas, a state-of-the-art fiber that utilizes 8 carriers, and these 8 carriers are supple, yet when they're infused with Izanas, they're 4 times more abrasion-resistant than the typical 4-carrier braid. Daiwa J-Braid x8 Grand Braid lays smoothly on the spool, and its supple nature is easy to cast.
