The Top Braided Fishing Lines for 2024 

Please keep up the awesome work. Invaluable information allowing us consumers to make an educated choice. The videos you're putting out will be relevant for many, many years to come.

So many new options to try now. Very eye opening. Keep doing what you’re doing. Hopefully over time, we’ll get a great database and resource to refer to when thinking about line for specific fishing application.

Thanks for this summery and hope to see more new lines here this year

Great Job!!! Waiting more tests for 2024.

Excellent! Thanks for these videos.

This channel is awesome. Thank you very much for this content, absolutely invaluable.

Keep it up, beatiful work

Thank you for all your Videos... I've change my line to Varivas ..thanks to your video.. and the result so far is good....

Excellent work.... Job well done

Amazing , just amazing. Thanks for sharing your videos to us.. Can you please make top 5 budget lines

Thanks!

Great job Tim Waiting test on Varivas 8 Pe Marking I am using it and think is awesome Happy new year🎉

Love your work and channel, keep it coming Could you please put out a video on the berkley whiplash 8

I've been ice fishing with the Power Pro Ice-Tec 8lb for 3 seasons now and can confirm it is a great ice fishing line. The jagged edges of the ice holes have not cut it yet and I have not lost a fish due to line failure.

Thanks for sharing the video . I enjoyed watching this. May I have recommendation which you could consider to add more criteria besides your criteria’s - same size of braided fishing line - float and sinking line must be different in your test - X8 and X12 is not same - shocking strength - absorb water - water cut strength of line - long durability Thank you

I've been a Power Pro user for over 15 years now. I never held any delusions that it was the best braid, but it always served me well at a reasonable price. Last summer, my best friend, whom I taught to fish, went on an international fishing trip to the wilds of Ontario Canada chasing smallmouth, walleye, pike, and musky. He asked me to help him get outfitted for his trip, and one of the things he wanted to do was re-spool all the reels he was bringing, just for the peace of mind that he's got all fresh line. Naturally, I steered him toward Power Pro... He wanted 20# on one of his reels, and he had some lighter and some heavier too. Once he began fishing with the 20# line, he said he was breaking off a lot... And it wasn't breaking at his leader knot either. It got so bad that his guide began to suspect the line was faulty... They stripped some line from the reel and were able to pull it until it broke with bare hands! So they tried to do the same with some 10# power pro and they couldn't break it. When he came home, we tried the same thing... Sure enough, I could break the 20# line, but not the 10#! We began to speculate why/how this could happen... Maybe they put lighter line in the package? Nope, the diameter of the 20# was definately larger than the 10# line and smaller than the 30# line. We figured it must be a bad batch, and got through quality control... Anyways, this is a long way of saying there's at least two anglers looking for a new brand of braid for next season, and we appreciate your work and sharing your findings.

Could you test more ice fishing braid?

Excellent work, I wonder how momoi ryujin will perform if you can get one.

i think you should test how smooth is a line and how well it handles saltwater after a trip or two. i know its not simple but it would make choosing braids so much easier

Such valuable information. Much appreciated. Plz test the new Varivas 8 which is supposed to be better than the discontinued pe type II. Once again thank you.

Hey m8 just found your channel...where did those 4hr go? Lol. Was wondering how the tasline factory tour went? It is all i use and if im to be honest i like it but im starting to look for a more cost effictive australian made alternative. Very interesting channel.👍

Hi enjoying the testing of braided lines. Have you or will you be testing fluoro carbon leader under the same tests. Keep up the great work excellent channel

Im thinking of doing some sort of braided line tier list for value vs performance if I have your oernission to usenyoir data to assist

Is there anyway to add a metric to test for vulnerability to wind knots? I purchased the varivas multipurpose braid based off your high recommendation but it loves to wind knot. Imho, the number of instances that I experienced wind knotting was enough to not use the braid =\. Thanks again for all the great scientific analysis! Cheers guys and happy new year! 🙌🙌🙌

If only the WFT gliss was more accesable. Bought 2x 300m spools of the 6kg still for a fantastic price and have spooled 3 of ny fsvourite combos with it.

Should be some ranking for line thickness to breaking strength. One of the main advantages to braid is its thin diameter and superior strength at those sizes.

Have you ever done tests on really heavy braids such as 100lb+. Looking to get a good line for sturgeon in a sharp rock covered area.

Great review! One thing I am more interested is the casting distance, and ability to avoid wind knot for thin lines among different brands with the same claimed diameter, but I guess without a sponsorship from the fishing line manufactures, it's almost impossible to do. I am speculating similar price of Japanese brand PE lines will have similar performance since they probably have similar manufacturing process and material unless one has a patented unique process/material.

Hello sir . Please help to spill the number that you use to count the psi so i know how to count just for a little bit with the other line that you still didn't make a test sir . Please 🙏

really nice job guys. what should I buy, to have a 0.22 braid? my god...

How about a metric measuring cost/value. That Varivas is also more expensive than any line available

Can you pls test with Shimano X12 Pitpull ? Thanks

Can you do Duel braid?

Have you seen a significant difference between 4 carrier and 8 carrier abrasion resistance in the same brands?

Hey man maybe i missed it but can you do the suffix 832 fg knot test please

A video idea, I recommend you to test a braided line that has a teflon coating, such as P line TCB braid 8

Please do hercules 12 strand.

I love how professionally and unbiased your tests are made. However the only test you may not be able to do is longevity/durability. I have used the Gliss in 17kg, this "braid" is great to cast, super strong and very thin, but after a few times of use the line starts to split - the individual strands become loose, seems like the material/process the use to bind the strands is not strong enough and this line is not braided. Every time i went fishing I had to discard the first 10-20 feet. I think this is why such a great line was not so great after all and hence the demand fell.For me my go to line has been the Sufix 832 for a few years now.

Valeu!

I have had no probs with Power Pro over twenty years. Sun will make it very weak as you describe.

Hello. Have you ever tested the Westin W10 Costal braid?

Este canal me encanta 🥰 muchas gracias por todo felices fiesteas y feliz año nuevo un abrazo .

please do a test on shimano tanatoru

The valuation refers to the purchase between what is declared by the manufacturer and the value obtained, however, the manufacturer can declare whatever he wants. A manufacturer could declare 2 kilos of resistance for a PE2 and the value obtained could be 4 kilos, which is +100%, and would be at the top of the resistance ranking, however, 4 kilos is a ridiculously low value. for a PE2. To really know how good a fishing line is, you must compare the lines with each other taking a common diameter. For example, buy all the lines taking as a reference 0.20mm of real value (not declared).

Hey what about jof x12 😢😢😢

Interesting tests for sure but have a hard time taking them serious when Gliss wins. That stuff had terrible abrasion resistance, do any search on it and you will see its worthless when it comes to abrasion.

There should be stated/actual diameter too. for example, majorcraft dangan has +181% in diameter, how can it even be top4

How can Gosen Casting cannot on list interesting Zero Wind knots so Thin..Like 1.5 Gosen 0.216 same thin as Jbraid 0.16..Zero wind knots for real..

Gliss durability isn't great compared to powerpro.

really , you tested lines in different weights , some aren't available anymore or only in australia . pretty much a worthless exercise

It's so bad accuracy.

Not a fan of the AI voice, semi American accent and some of those pronunciations are off. There’s one letter ‘f’ in Sufix so pronouncing it suffix doesn’t sound right. Soofix would be a better fit I think.
