Product Details and Uses

X Braid X006 Upgrade X8 – 150m: Perfect Glide and Lure Control

The X Braid X006 Upgrade X8 is a premium 8-strand braid engineered specifically for high-performance lure fishing and casting. Constructed from 8 strands of High Density Polyethylene ( $0.98$ ), this line combines great linear resistance with a surface treatment that results in a perfect glide for effortless distance.

X8 Casting & Technology

WX Braiding & Double Coating: The Upgrade X8 benefits from advanced WX braiding technology (cross-braiding of fibers) and two coating treatments. This significantly improves the line’s characteristics, notably contributing to its high linear strength and the exceptional smoothness needed for a “perfect glide.”
Spinning Specialist: It is intended for fishing with lures in throwing back (casting) and is ideal for spinning fishing, where the priority is achieving great distance and precision.
Lure Control and Sensitivity: The tight X8 weave and high-density material ensure maximum sensitivity. This is essential for approaches where lure control and sensitivity are essential, allowing the angler to feel subtle takes and the lure’s action.

Visual Control and Stealth

Innovative Colour Metering: The braid features an alternation of colours with a white marking $15 cm$ long every meter. This system is cleverly designed to:
- Stealth: “Break” the visual perception of a green line under water, enhancing stealth in the water column.
- Visibility: Allow the angler to better visualize it out of water for easy line tracking, casting reference, and bite detection.
High Linear Resistance: The dense, high-quality construction ensures great linear resistance, providing reliable strength for heavy casting and fighting powerful fish.
