Where is the Sufix X8 ?

Featured Replies

 

I've been searching for a thin line to fish the currents. I came across the Sufix X8 which is an incredible 0.104mm for the 10lbs !! , but I can't find any good reviews on it. And I can't seem to find any 10lbs in stock anywhere. Is this discontinued ? Do any of u use it

X8 is a European label - this side of The Pond you're looking for Sufix 832.

Best you're gonna get over this side, far as I know, is Sufix Nanobraid - 0.14mm for the 10#...unless you go E-Bay.

 THanks for the info. I did see that during my search. It has amazing diameter. But the reviews I saw were mixed.

 

Thanks

Here in Europe (Sweden) we have both sufix X8 and 832

I saw that Tuf-line XP also have a 10lb line that is .102mm

anyone has tried Tuf-Line?

I've been sold on Japan X-braid since I first tried 6-lb 832 on Salt XUL, and decided to upgrade.  

832 is great for deep-spool reels, especially a baitcaster. 

But for shallow-spool reels, the latest generation of X-braids more than double the breaking strength at the same diameter. 

I've posted this before.  The column on the left is PE#, which is silk thread size.

the PE breaking strength on the right column is also conservative, though it matches the numbers Varivas uses. 

Most X-braids are listing 22-lb for PE#1, and 35-lb for PE#1.5. 

In the finest sizes, YGK, Duel and Varivas are listing 10-lb for 0.10 mm. 

The way these braids are made, they use finer strands, tighter wrap, fuse the strands when they apply the high-tech coatings.  Most of the strength is in the center strand, with tougher abrasion-resistant strands on the outside.
