Kastking braid line: good or bad?

[Maggiesmaster]

Has anyone used Kastking’s  Kastpro 8X finess braid? Their ad has it for a really good price, but is it any good? My braid’s getting somewhat worn & fishing season is coming up as soon as it gets a bit warmer!

I try to stick with proven line. Power pro, 832.

Don't know about that line. On the other hand, I have had great experience with SeaKnight W8 and S9.  They're very similar to Sufix 832, quality and performance wise, but with less than half of the price.

I have used kastking 4 carrier braid. Pretty decent for the price and quantity of line. It's thicker than advertised, but never had issues with it. I would not put it in the same category as suffix or power pro, but it's decent.

All my line is KastKing haven't had any issues with it. The Destron braid is pretty good, also the new Hammer braid. The 8X has very thin dia. along with the 13X. I use them on BFS setups.

How did this thread become what's BFS and what's not?  I came here to read about a line.  Anyway, I've had a smoker king mackerel run out a whole bunch of Kastking Superpower Braid waaaay back when, but I haven't tried their lines since.

 

When dude gets done gatekeeping what constitutes BFS, someone let us know how that 8 carrier KK performs.

When Glenn publishes your article

then you won't be the poser.  

 

As far as the OP question, answer = bad.  

Does for backing in a pinch.  

 

Varivas has a US website.  

Noteworthy, in the same diameter Kastking rates 6-lb, Varivas is 15-lb.  

It will be denser, rounder, harder, better coating.

Off the rails!

Good night Irene.
