SproDD79 Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 I've had it with the bleeding lines, I was cranking with the Diawa J Braid Grand 30lb and my hands as well as my white Chronach 201 E5 have green stains all over them. I really like the line, but I can't deal with bleeding anymore. I had some Sufix 832 in ghost a few years back, I don't recall any issues with it. I am also interested the Berkley X 9 crystal. Can anyone share their experiences with the Berkley X 9, positives and or negatives. I believe the 832 is a safe bet, but I would be open to trying the X9 crystal or another 8 strand or greater white braid that comes in bulk spools. Any feedback is appreciated. Quote
newapti5 Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 You don't have to use white braids to avoid color fading - Vicious No-fade braid. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Vicious_No-Fade_Braid_Moss_Green/descpage-VNFB.html Or FINS Pitch Black Windtamer braid. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/FINS_Windtamer_Braided_Line_Pitch_Black/descpage-FWTBL.html Finatic Pro braid used to be another great choice, but I think the company went south last year. 1 Quote
Blaine Donders Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 X9 is good stuff in my experience. I have used the white and it was as good for me as 832. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted August 31, 2022 Super User Posted August 31, 2022 Take a look at Varivas. Both of the lines I have tried, have not bled. I have also been using Sunline Xplasma. It bleeds some at first but then it's good to go. Great line though. 1 Quote
redmeansdistortion Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 I use the bright green X9, so far so good and the stuff on my spools is a year old about now. I haven't noticed any color wearing off. 1 Quote
Super User GetFishorDieTryin Posted September 1, 2022 Super User Posted September 1, 2022 I really like x9 a whole lot more then 832. Its a lighter line that feels smother to me and definitely casts much farther. Its abrasion resistance isn't as good as 832 but its not that far behind. It is a thinner line, but its not as thin as they claim. The 20lb feels identical or at least very close to PP v2. 1 Quote
