Love ya vids man
Thanks guys!
@@TackleAdvisors Did they discontinue the lower line strengths like the mentioned 8, 6 or 4lbs? I can barely find 8lbs and nothing lower than that !
@@martinder3199 Weirdly not in Australia but we also don't get the low vis green here (old stock?) berkley-fishing.com.au/product/x9/
Can you please do a top 5 best braids, or maybe even top 10? Your opinion is generally spot on!!!
Yes. This
I would also love to see ONLY Japanese braids comparison Goosen, Varivas, J-Braid, YGK, SaltiMate, KAIRIKI, Owner Kizuna, Sunline Siglon, Yo-Zuri, and rest....please
Glad to see you like it too, love this line a lot! Bought a spool of the 20lbs on a fluke because I got a discount when I bought my 4k Spheros. Great together for my river jigging in a heavy Technium AX. I'll switch a few of my reels over to X9 when I need to rather soon.
After using power pro for about 10 years, I tried berkely x9 and x5 two seasons ago. I love the soft and silky feel, smooth winding, thin diameter and have no problems with strength. X9 is now on all my spinners and x5 on all my baitcasters for the past 2 years. Adore it. Caught a 32lb striper I 20lb test. Used exclusively in salt water. If it's good enough for John Skinner its definitely good enough for me. Even more confidence in it now, with your endorsement. Thank you for another great, detailed, informative video.
well ive caught a 40lb striper on 6lb test so that doesnt say much... about lines its more about how wel it knots and hows the wear on the line...
@@larsvegas1505
In fresh water or salt? With current and rocks nearby? Any way, how any line "behaves" falls on the angler. Did they spool it correctly? Overspool? Underspool? Did they twist it all up while spooling etc. What type of reel? Do they care for their reels? Anyway, like I said, I've had no problems so that is "saying much."
@@larsvegas1505 we got the all time best fisherman over here guys
Really appreciate your vids very thorough and great info, true line tests and tips. Really has helped me make informed decisions re braid choice. Re the graphics - as a (UK) angler the norm for us if we are right handed is to use a left hand wind reel. That way the rod is a true extension of the right arm and we do not have to switch hands for casting and retrieve which seems to be an unnessesary extra step that I see so many US anglers make. Of course this would make the graphics read correct but that’s just a by product if you are a righty try and use a left hand wind reel I am sure you will find it so much more efficient!
Just ordered 30# on Amazon. I currently use G40 (love it) and have never had the issues you mentioned.
I started using x9 because I needed extra yards on my back bay and now its on all my spinning reels.
Have you tried saratoga braid? After being let down by most big brands, I tested it 2-3 years ago and after 100+ days on all my reels, I'm soo pleased. Would be fun to see what you think if it compared to all the different lines you've tried.
Salt Strong just posted a video of them testing a couple of different knot strengths on PP V2 and regular PP. Very interesting results considering the 10lb V2 tested at 20lb+ break strength in every test run.
been watching your reviews for a while and sub'ed a lil while back . i just got a fuego lt 2500 d-xh (going on a ML/fast rod) and your comments influenced that decision and now i'm gonna trust you on this X9 . some 15lb is supposed to be delivered tomorrow . ill be fishing for trout and medium to small bass in the appalachian mountains and using 6 and 12 pound leaders . thanks and take care dude , jeff
It's good stuff.....how's it working for you?
@@TackleAdvisors i've gotten a wind knot once , but the line lay is a little top heavy so FWIU i need to add a washer under the spool and re-spool the line . i haven't done that yet due to only one wind knot and me being a lil on the lazy side . but , it's so quiet casting and retrieving ! none of that shhshhshhshh that power pro has . i got the flame green 15 lb and i use a 6 lb stren mono leader and i'm catching fish as good as ever and i've got some 12 lb i'll use for bigger water . it's so much easier seeing that line . i'm 61 and treating myself to some new toys and trying new things since i have more time and mobility to fish now . thanks for asking TA dude :) take care , jeff
well i've used this through the summer and i have zero complaints . i'll be getting some 6 or 8lb X9 this month for trout here in the mountains of SW Va . with my UL setup . BTW ... is the white/ice blue as easy or easier to see than the fluorescent yellow/green version ? i luv how that yellow allows me to see where my line is and the fish don't seem to matter . thanks , jeff
Great video as always! Have you ever tried Seaguar Smackdown? Just threw it on my spheros 3k and love it
My favorite bait casting braid. For spinning, I like Seaguar Smackdown
thanks for the review need to buy some braid and was interested in this stuff but did not know how it was so thanks for sharing do u know about the x5?
Trialed the X-9 for half a season, lime green 20lb, broke off half a dozen good fish, found it shock load snaps very easily. Same experience with Ultra 8! Back to the 832.
Yes--bought a spool of 30# and spooled up on my Curado and Tatula reels. Got more wind knots and shock load breakoffs than on any previous braid I've ever used. Going back to Sufix 832 despite the awful color fade.
I found out how to tie a shell knot on a main line. Tie the Snell knot as regular but when you would put the tag end thrue the eye of the hook to finish the knot make a loop in the main line and thred it thrue the eye of the hook and around the hook then just pull tight
Amazing! Can I request you to do a review of linesystem braid please
Great stuff!
I'm late to the game and just switching to braid. I have it narrowed down to Berkley X9, Power Pro Super 8 Slick V2, Daiwa J-Braid X8 Grand, and Sufix 832. I have a good number of reels to spool up so I'm trying to buy some good line the first time around. Mostly saltwater pier fishing, some inshore from a boat and on occasion bass. What's your recommendation? Thanks.
I'd like to see you review the KastKing braid.
Have you ever tried Seagar smackdown? I love the X9 but I think smackdown is a tad smoother
So lures do work in dark for bass. Do you think they are also going to work for saltwater species like Pollock?
Smallmouthcrush said he had problems with X9..idk..Here's a sleeper for ya , Yo Zuri super braid. I've used 10# , inshore for the last couple of months ,very impressed. BPS has it 1/2 off often.
Hello sir, may I get your opinion on how to fix loose drive shaft/main shaft on my baitcaster? I also facing a problem which I could feel the teeth of my gear which simply said my baitcaster aren’t smooth when I reeled in the line. Could you identified and help me to solve these problems? It would be a huge help if you could do so. 🙇🏻
Coming from a fan from Asia. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Any reviews on the Suffix 131?
What are your thoughts about a GT knot for line to leader?
Great review as always! Do you have a recommendation or favorite for an inshore braid for a small bait caster, mainly plastics? Currently running pro spec 30lb and J braid grand. I don’t like the J braid as it is too limp and seems to unravel. I like pro spec but distance is less than J braid, but everything else is better. Tried 20 lb 832, too much digging, good 90% of time, then that “tick” hesitation from a dig..... grass and oyster type fishing. Thanks n advance @tackleadvisors
20lb power pro slick v2 may fit the bill...I haven't had an issue with it on a baitcaster (freshwater) Has proven super durable and handles spectacularly (I hate super limp braid..j braid being at right at that not too limp spot in my preference)Slick v2 isn't as limp as j braid...and it's a tight weave that doesn't break down or open up. I found onyx seems to stay like new the longest which was strange to experience.
13:42 I’m pretty sure thats because a way higher percent of Japanese people use left handed reels. Idk if that’s a rod for the Japanese market but if so I’m think that’s why.
Should I buy this braid or Berkley pro spec braid
Berkley X5 is really good around rocks.
How does this compare to sufix nanobraid? I'm debating trying this line out bc of your review or 14lb nanobraid for my ML setup. I use 6lb nanobraid for my bfs setup.
Curious whats your best line (type and LB#) for BFS?
Thank you
Please make a review on the new Vanford
Put your keeper on the same side of the rod as the reel. The line shouldn't snag it as much. That applies to rod building at least, could be different with the extra contours of the fuji keeper
Dude.......... when is 2020 metanium comin out!?!?!? I bought two and super amazing reels....... Do I need to send you one!?!?! Also fyi... you need a Scorpion DC.... sooooo much better than curado DC... Love the channel btw...
Do you tie braid directly to these braid friendly spools these days? Or do you use electrical tape/a few yards of mono backing?
On spinners with the rubber inlay I have no issue tying direct... It it is missing that tape all day... I've seen plenty say just leave a tag and wrap tight over it... It's not worth having an issue... Water can get in and swell and contract etc... And loosen...
I just change my 50LB J braid to 50lb x9 Berkley fishing line! Jbraid is 0.41mm thickness while Berkley is 0.30 mm thick but I It’s exactly same thickness when I compare it
Yeah. They lie.
I'm trying it.!!
Will try it out ty
This or the suffix 832?
I feel like I'm in the inner circle! I just got the x9 #30 on my first vs 250. Big fan of the channel! I'm still trying to master the Alberto knot just lost my favorite spook last night due to another failure. I wrapping in both directions 11 times, and doing your extra 3 wraps to finish it. I am trimming the mono pretty close. Any suggestions? I think cinching it down is my biggest problem like you strongly suggest in your video. I get it cleaned up and wrapped well at the end, I just don't have a better way to cinch other than using my fingers...
Bro....!!!! 8 up and 8 down... You'll pull your hair out Goin for 11 and likely weaken the knot ....8 up 8 down and one or 2 if you feel like it extra exit wraps
Hope that read right.. Cuz... Tequila.. Happy 4th!
Hello I need some advice regarding purchasing some saltwater reels. Deciding between the tranx 300 and the Calcutta 300d, I want to use the reels for throwing 1-2oz metal jigs but also to troll 5oz on my kayak. Looking for something with smooth drag but also cast ability. Which of these two do you think is more suited for my needs, thank you!
I don’t think there’s a real difference in specs, it’s more ‘looks’, do you like a round reel or a ‘low-profile’ reel. I’ve got the calcutta 201 on a 8ft6 rod and that performs like a dream. But i don’t like the tranx-look, anyway i hope you catch some decent fish 🎣
Great video as usual
What’s your go to braid for
surf fishing eg cast n soak baits 30lb mainline
Probably j braid.. Cheap and reliable... If I break off or chaff on pilings it's not $$$ to respool.. As chaffing can happen way up from the bait
Tackle Advisors awsome cheers
Based on this, I decided to try some X5 in 50lb. for my pike and musky setup.
I got the crystal color line, and man do I really like it. I was using plain PowerPro 50lb. previously, and this stuff is smoother, quieter, and won’t have any wax or dye wearing off. It just stays the same.
Is this beter than fireline
Have you checked the diameter of x9 ,whats maked on spool is nowhere near right its about the same as 832. My Stradic 30 is supposed to hold 225 yds of .025 mm couldn't fit 165 yds of 20 lb # which is .016 supposedly.
This is a great and timely topic. I live in So. California and fish mainly inshore and out of a kayak. I use bait casters as well as spinning gear, depending on my mood. Depending on conditions, I'm fishing in kelp or dragging artificials over and around rocks. All my reels are filled with 30-50# braid. Question #1, how long do you leave braid on your reel before putting new on? Question #2, do you use hollow braid? I'm starting to fish more regularly on large sport boats for tuna,and yellowtail and that seems to be the trend. Are there other videos showing results/ info on the hollow core braid?
In advance, thank you for your insight. I always enjoy your videos. Jim
Hey Jim, glad you enjoy em... Honestly there isn't a formula as far as how long braid lasts... Plus in many instances you can reverse it essentially doubling its life (although I wouldn't if tangling with fish that are more of a war than a Hookset and a scrap. Hollow core is excellent... I've used it for more than just trolling.... But the downfall is its only really useful if wound on extremely tight and you're splicing direct or via loop to loop. And splices take time... I don't knot if pamet fisher still makes splice crimps but that speed up the process... My serves generally use a bow serve tool to prevent creep. I've seen some methods using rigging floss and such but they can bind and undo a splice if it catches in the guide frame... Splicing some wind ons ahead of time and splicing and end loop makes most sense from a practicality standpoint... As you can tie a Bimini of you break off entirely then use that loop to pop on a wind on.... Then there's the PR knot.... Which really performs wonderfully and is as strong... It's only downfall is it'll form to the spool and shock... It absorbs shock extremely well but splices are the best.. If you make a bench rig to clamp the leader and serve with the splice centered it makes for a much quicker way to tie up lots of wind ons. Learn a double wall splice and how to make a spliced end loop. And see if you feel the time is worth it for what you're doing... I haven't spliced any hollow core south of 60 (I heard there are lighter splice able braids now... Back when I was into it 40 hollow wasn't spliceable... Best bet... Pop for one of the 20$ bobbins on amazon... Test your knot and see if that works.... Oh and I've blown up a few spliced rigs casting due to guide wraps... Something to consider as well
@@TackleAdvisors Thanks so much, really helpful. Jim
What was that bass? 6 lbs?
What lure at 20:58?
Do you ever use full FC? I have used 90 percent FC for years now. But I have to say that I'm a big fan of braid to FC. I'm fishing that now more than anything.
Did a few times... But I've been 99.9 braid to leader for 20 years..
@Tackle Advisors my man👌💯
What braid would you recommend for someone who has not spooled braid on a spinning reel before. Used it on a guide trip on LSC and I would like to try it for myself.
What setup are you using.. Rod /reel.. What are you targeting and what kind of lures are you throwing (and weights)
@@TackleAdvisors I would be using it on a medium heavy fast rod for bass. I do a good bit of everything. Highest weight on a baitcaster would be 3/4 oz and thats rare, and I'd also use it on a spinning combo thats a medium fast with lures no heavier than a half ounce total.
@@TackleAdvisors obviously id use two different strengths of line.
I've switched all my setups other than my rattle trap sticks over to this, suffix perfomance is still my go to for ripping them through grass
Hey. Thanks for all the work! Could you put the Momoi JigLine MX8 to the test? I`ve been fishing this stuff for 2 Years now and its amazing. Never had any issue - perfect knots, no loss of color, really durable line. And it`s absolutely silent.
They don't make long enough spools...I need 500yard spools to use it as it states it's supposed to be used for... :)
can't strip 450 yards of metered line for no good reason for 300 yards and a splice of non metered jig line. I fished momoi diamond the day it came out.....it was meh.....qualite line.coatingless which at the time was taboo.....but it wasn't jerry brown.....it wasn't as tough as original fireline braid....and it's blue color faded....Momoi makes great mono....but they aren't the weaver as far as I know.....(same can be said for a crap ton of insert name brand of good braid here) but yeah.....if you found a gem.....keep using it......i find it hard to believe it's going to be leaps and bounds better than insert 10 awesome braids here..... know what I mean....it's the same material....so it's likely in the ballpark.
@@TackleAdvisors Makes sense! I use the line for freshwater and the occasional travel to the canary island for shore-jigging/spinning. The MX8 is definitly a coated line. In comparison to PowerPro it holds up 2-3 times till fading and is totally smooth. Seems like they upped their game.
I actually like some of the lighter test spider wire glow stuff fishing at night
My dad uses spider wire and loves it. I hate spidewire with a passion lol. Flattest braid ever.
Lol yea I can't stand it for the most part, strictly talking like 2-4lbs test Glo-Vis for crappie.
Thank you for your review. What issues did you have with the J Braid Grand
phantom break offs......poor longevity. the light lines in 8 and 6lb would pop just lightly slack line twitching 1/8oz baits......years later using the same rods and reels....other braids in similar diameters suffered no issues. The heavier braids fluffed and degraded quickly......I know guys that swear by it today...and I was and still am a big fan of J braid non grand.....so it was strange
Thanks for the info. I bought Daiwa UVF Saltiga Dura Sensor 8Braid +Si2 in 35lb and get the same issue. Seems to break randomly too easily..have changed to Berkley x9. So far no issues. Though the colour does rub off easily
where can i find that lure?
Would you rank x9 over grand or ssv2 for saltwater inshore fishing
I like onyx v2 the best.. I'm done with j braid grand... Had more abrasion issues and failures on 1200 yards worth of it than any other line I've owned.. I had zero issues with standard x8. X9 is excellent but I think power pro keeps its form a bit better after lots of use. Where x9 gets really limp.. Pick one then after a while try the other... Both excellent.. Just preference really
Tackle Advisors thank you!
Put the hook keeper in between the first guide (with it being tip down). Been doing this for a while, does the job fine without being annoying.
Eyyye it's been 3 years by you went back to land whale in your name! Proof that it is you! Lolol... I had a carrot stick spinner with the hook up by the stripper.. Hated it... I'd put it behind the seat by kayak tube holders n shit... I would have expected for 600$ a wrapped keeper not a 2$ fooogi #tequilaposting
@@TackleAdvisors lol of course its me. But yea, i don't don't know why pretty much all high end rods don't have a hook keeper by default. Doesn't take much to include and useful in any situation.
You are the first person I have ever seen using a right-handed bait caster reel properly
Lololol... Yooooooo.. People criticize me for how I use it... I'm like... Ummm this is how you're supposed to do it... No hand switch... Ready to engage and crank at splash down.... Lolol
I am right handed and use a left hand retrieve and don’t switch hands and everyone picks on me for it. It makes sense to me. Besides I used spinning reels forever and just learned to use a baitcaster last year. I’m already used to retrieving with the left hand

@@adamrevels5646 Does anyone give you a valid reason why you need to switch hands after a cast? And do any of them reel a baitcaster with their right and a spinning reel with their left? That crap is ridiculous.
Im left handed i cast with my left and reel with my right hand. I cast side arm tho with my baitcaster i cast crossbody as well i never cast over my head.
You getting your hands on the new Dawia BG MQ? Any time soon?
I'm overnighting offshore Thursday and Friday.. I should have it this weekend to tear down
@@TackleAdvisors You da man!
What braid would u recommend for strictly cast distance on spinning gear?
x9
power pro sucks if you tried x9 or a few others.
Gliss and understand its break strength isn't overstated like most braids and knowing special knots are needed......it also doesn't last as long....Original power pro flies......so does maxcuatro...something people often overlook...x9 is a very good caster as well..so is super slick v2.....also you can gain distance by using an fg or pr knot and sizing down the diameter of braid while still geting the break as other knots of higher diamter.
If your willing to pay for it, there's nothing like Spiderwire Ultra Cast. For a cheap line try the Reaction Tackle. A USA company branding imported line. You can get it in 4 or 8 carrier.
I bought it to try it out did not like it at all, its not quiet it still makes noise like a 4 carrier just a bit less. The regular power pro is much better and casts further
you said this is your "favorite unless fishing heavy vegetation". Why is that? I'm looking for my first braid and fish a lot of vegetation. Thanks
4 strand braid is much better around veg cause the rougher surface tends to "saw" through the grass much better than 8+ strand.
Thanks. That makes sense
Any new info on the Vanford? What do people mean by a embargo for the reel?
Embargo = under contract to not talk about it.
@@TackleAdvisors darn it. wish they let you show pic
Oh trust me when I say this.. Shimano doesn't like me. Their rep wouldn't even look me in the eye after I put out that Saragosa leak video.
@@TackleAdvisors you get people excited to buy fishing gears. If product is great, they will be off the shelves before they can even fill them.
How does this compare to Sufix 832 ?
Not as tough around the rough stuff.... Knots a little easier and cleaner. Quieter smoother better casting and limper when both are new and when both broken in.
@@TackleAdvisors Any idea which is stronger?
After watching Tackle Advisor I find it difficult to watch reviews posted by others , thanks . Does this braid dig in less than others on a baitcaster when pulling in a good fish ? I go with 50 t0 65lb braid to avoid this and the wonderful snap off you get with the next cast.
Lol there are some good guys out there for sure. Lotsa shills though and many who lack experience. I find that I don't get dig ins on fish and really only with snags if I spool really tight apon initial spooling. And the dig ins aren't all that bad when they occur... I didn't find this line dug in any more or less in my experience.
@@TackleAdvisors Thanks for the spooling tip , I ordered some using your link
I'm surprised that you didn't mention Suffix 832
Not really one of my favorites.....good line but after about 10 spoolings in 4 different strengths I moved one...i liked performane braid for certain applications over 832...
The x9 is actually not that cheap. It's definitely not super duper expensive but power pro v2 and even regular power pro is cheaper. Actually I think even daiwa jbraid is cheaper. Have you had any luck with seaguar smackdown? I've heard great things.
It must depend on where you are located. Local Bass Pro had it for 14.99 a spool. It has gone up to about 18.99 after Corona because of import problems with other lines. My son got it on a buy one get one free deal and we bought 10 164 yard spools for 90 bucks.
Hey tackle advisors, I use a blood knot on all my line to line knots, thoughts on this knot?
blood and uni are very similar..I used to use them interchaneably 20 odd years ago....blood to blood was great to tippet joins.....cold tie it tooless when I was 14 :) I wouldn't rely on it for braid to leader if you needed max break......If my 10 year old foggy memory serves me correctly...it's only like a 40% abs knot in braid....which is below the alberto fg gt pr etc.....ONe thing good about the blood....it's consistent as all heck.....no way to screw it up...When I learned the improved bristol...i immediately thought of the blood once cinched tight.....(bimini to improved bristol is a cool looking knot) Saltwater sportsman said it's the best (in 2010) now they say they can get a 100% knot in a 12 turn bimini or something ridiculously low like that (which after 20 tries cinches down like a uni doing it their way) Hope that made sense #tequilaposting :)
What about sufix 832?
Used it a bunch 6lb up to 60...good line but didn't last like new and was buzzy... Haven't used it in years... Not on my personal list of favorites
braid fraying (especially located far away from the lure) is usually due to bad guides.)
It would be awesome if you got hits while doing line review. People would go bonkers. 😉😉
Try a red Phillips knot. I put my line and knots to the test and the red Phillips is smaller than the Alberto, faster, and easier. It's a good knot. I only use the FG, Alberto, or red Phillips. I can tie all quickly I just think the red Phillips is up there in knot strength and ease of use. And a very low chance of error.
Are you still making vids?
Hey brotha! Yeah.. I'll be posting soon
@@TackleAdvisors good to here was starting to wonder and worrie hope all is well.
Where are you located?
Jersey
i put this on everything when I can afford braid
What happened to this dudes channel? Hope all is well
You are making me want to buy a bantam mgl :/
Nothin wrong with that... It's an exceptional reel in almost every regard... Max distance is a hair short... It's heavier than some others in the price range... Otherwise it's pretty much best in class all around... Kinda gets overlooked for some reason
I just use 10lb mono. Too easy. Cheap. Works.
I hate braids that open up easily when pinched, seems like this braid is not the case.

Strange I added 3.... Weird
bruh its like watching TV get over yourself lol
i purchased 0.14 mm (20 lbs) from amazon and unfortunately i have read some reviews after purchasing, it is actually bullshit. actual diameter of 20 lbs braid is more than 0.30 mm which is complete scam. ok, i know actual diameters of braids are more than what companies say but this one is more than double.
I experienced that with fins 40g...their 5lb braid was the diameter of most 10's. Berkleys x9 6lb is crazy thin....the thinnest mass market usa braid I've found. I use x9 6lb and 8lb for BFS when throwing around 1 gram.
Seriously one of the worst lines I had in my hands. Bought it for light fishing (perch) Talking about diameter 0,08 . The line "decomposes" when squashed (brand new from package - not as mentioned in this video) If it gets tangled, it is impossible to untangle without damaging it. Give up, just cut and to the bin. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone. Honestly.
i hated it too. i thought it was too limp
Sounds like normal braid to me. Lol
Awiad. Lol
That one fish had the herpes....

Wait wait wait! You've "caught Bass up to 25 lbs".??? Come on man!! Show everyone a picture or two!!
Stripers homie.... Stripers.... My pb jersey largemouth was 25" x19. 5. Close to the or surpassing the state record... Pictures are floating around of that one
