I got some j braid x4 and spooled it on a sienna 2500 I got sucked into. Casts a mile it does! Wondering how it compares to the x8

The x8 is what I have in mine. Very happy with it. Glad you can cast further now :)

Yeah I never understand why people go for sucj heavier braid landbased and then winder why they can't cast far.

Ps should jave got the x8 not the x4 but regardless you seem like you made a good decision so good luck on tbe fishing now and hopefully you get into the fish soon.

I was on a tight budget, and had tried it previously on a mate's reels and found there was very minimal difference.

Got a 10$ voucher for bcf, so looking at getting a new pack of plastics. Zman slim swims vs grubs, which one and what color?

Motor oil slimswimz will catch most things. So will the grubs so either of them will work
