I just Picked up a spool of this in 10lb. test. It looks pretty good. I am a power pro slick 8 guy but this looks like a cheaper alternative. Does anyone have any experience with this braid? 

Never heard of it. I use the Daiwa Samurai and Saltiga

I suggest watching this before buying the J braid. 

 

 

I have the J braid in 40lb, used it a few times before winter, and will be testing it more upcoming spring. I knew about the excessive bleeding problem from a friend, and soaked the entire spool in warm water for an hour before spooling on. I picked the chartreuse line, and even after the bleeding, the line is still very easy to see in low light conditions. I have not yet experienced any sort of break-off from any braid that I have used, including J braid. I threw some 1.5oz swimbaits on it, with a 7ft mono leader, and so far handles it pretty well. It doesnt seem to cast any further than my PP original or my sunline FX2, but it is a lot less noisy.

In regards to snap-offs/break-offs, I have heard of someone, at some point, experiencing a break-off from every brand of braid I bought, be it from reviews, forums or otherwise. I have yet to hear of any excessive amounts of break-off from any specific braid, so I dont really pay much attention to them.

One other thing I have noticed is that Japanese lines tend to snap very close to their rating, whereas majority of US lines snaps at a much higher rating.

From my experience, more supple, limp braids such as the J-Braid perform better on spinning reels. Coated, stiffer braids perform much better on baitcasting equipment with less backlashes and mid cast snap offs.

So far I like it, but I've only used it here and there for a couple months.  The true test will be when it's 100 degrees, 100% humidity, in the middle of a lily pad field chunkin' a frog.
