Daiwa Braid Diameter
Submitted by Lim Chee Boon on Sat, 2019-03-23 09:01
Hi,
I am a bit confused about the diameter of Daiwa's J-Braid. Seem different package got different diameter in the same weight class.
60lb - 0.28mm
65lb - 0.41mm (only extra 5lb)
80lb - 0.35mm (thinner than 65lb)
So how I choose? Which is correct indicater of diamter?

Agreed
It’s all over the shop. What’s funny is they were pumping up the new j braid grande. If you look at that diameter, it matches the same as the original j braid. So other than a new box and some marketing, how is it any different?

Apparently grand has more
Apparently Grand has more resistance to abrasion over ordinary J-braid, so I have it on some LBG setups I use from the rocks. Hard to know if it's actually true, but it explains the diameter difference.
I haven't found J-braid of poor quality, though there's better options available depending on your location/needs/patience.

Daiwa J-Braid Diameter
By feel using my finger rubbing the braid, I do agree that Grand are thicker than the ordinary J-Braid in the same line class.
My location only have limited choice of braid, so i just bring my reel to fill up in the tackle shop, if it doesn't fit my reel can always return n lower my line lbs so that it will fit.
