The ultimate braid in the J-Braid family. Daiwa J-Braid Grand x8 is some of the strongest and most abrasion-resistant 8-carrier braided fishing line ever put on the market. Yet. despite its durability. J-Braid Grand x8 is also extremely soft. supple. and easy-to-spool.
How is a fishing line with such remarkable characteristics possible? J-Braid Grand x8 is spun with IZANAS. a new. state-of-the-art. high-modulus fiber that is leaps and bounds stronger than any other fiber material on the market. Now. you may be asking yourself: "Hey. doesn't every fishing line claim to be the strongest. most supple line out there? How is this stuff any different?" And you wouldn't be wrong for wondering. Many a fishing line company has made such a claim with little. if any. evidence to support it. But the fine folks at Daiwa don't play like that: when they make a claim. they stick by it and back it up. And that's why in the graph below you can see that. when compared with other fiber materials on the market. nothing exhibits a strength index quite like IZANAS.

It's roughly four times stronger than polyester nylon (what most monofilament is made of). twice as strong as fluorocarbon. and is even stronger than aramid. a class of military- and aerospace-grade fibers that includes Kevlar (aka the stuff bulletproof vests are made of). among others.
See table below for full details on test strength and line diameter.
