Product advantages and highlights

The Upgrade X8 fishing braid stands out for the perfect alliance between innovation, performance, and fishing comfort. Thanks to advanced WX technology and specific double coating, it displays superior break resistance while maintaining fluidity and exceptional glide through the rings. As a result, this line allows for casting record distances while optimizing the sensitivity needed to detect even the most subtle bites.

This precise braiding technology also guarantees impeccable consistency along the entire line length, a major asset for better management of battles with powerful and combative fish. Another strong point: the color alternation and clever white marking offer better visibility out of the water, facilitating line control even in challenging lighting conditions. Underwater, these colors help "break" the uniform appearance, increasing rig discretion in relation to predators.

Usage tips and recommended setups

To fully exploit the technical qualities of the Upgrade X8 braid, it is advisable to prioritize approaches requiring great sensitivity and maximum precision. It is particularly effective when associated with light to medium setups, whether in finesse fishing or more energetic fishing with hard or soft lures in regular cast-retrieve.

Ideally, choose a jig head perfectly suited to the lure used and the conditions encountered on the field. To increase efficiency, we recommend using strong and proven knots such as the FG Knot or the Peixet knot, ensuring an ideal junction with your fluorocarbon leader.

Thanks to the exceptional sensitivity of this line, favor a classic linear retrieval or interspersed with small animations. This allows you to fully exploit your feel during prospecting and attack phases, maximizing your chances of hooking.

FAQ and additional questions

What are the differences with regular braids?

The Upgrade X8 braid benefits from a 8-strand HD polyethylene braided design using WX technology and also features a specific double coating. These technologies allow for increased robustness, better ring fluidity, and unmatched sensitivity compared to conventional 4-strand braids.

Is the Upgrade X8 braid only suitable for spinning fishing?

Mainly designed for spinning approaches where control and sensitivity are crucial, this line can also be suitable for casting fishing, as long as the techniques employed favor excellent sensitivity and remarkable fluidity.

Do I have to use a fluorocarbon leader with this braid?

Yes, using a fluorocarbon leader is recommended because it allows for better underwater discretion, greater abrasion resistance, and facilitates battles with particularly cautious fish.

With the Upgrade X8 braid, enjoy the perfect combination of innovation, robustness, and ultimate sensitivity to optimize your next lure fishing results.
