I find that the only reason it will slip on one turn is if the spool has not been tightened enough. And even if the spool is a bit loose, i haven't had a slip up yet. But that's with my mediocre casting skills, though. 😅

Unfortunately, I have never used a Zziplex so I could not comment. But they are really good for the price 👍

Used TG Rocket fuel in Sons downhill board. Flush out old oil/grease the put in rocket fuel.

Sorry, I do not quite understand what you were asking.

thank you. I'll try that next time. Tight lines!

Definitely agree with you. Which is why I started reviewing these.

thanks! i'll be sure to try that next time!

Thanks! It's Nothe Car Park if I'm not mistaken.

@x3mgrifter thanks for the reply that's what I also think it is....brilliant....thank you 😀

Hi, thanks for taking your time testing your line and sharing the results. Tight lines! 👍

If you can make a video of your finished modification, that'll be brilliant as I know it would be of use to a lot of people. Tight lines!

This is the Akios Fury FX420 rod.

Thanks. I am keen on testing other lines. However, since everything is paid out of my own pocket, I have to wait a while to use up all the lines I have reviewed before I can purchase new ones. Will try another line soon. 👍 tight lines! 💪

You can fish it... tried it once which was in this video. The water was clear enough to see that there's no fish 🤣 . All we managed to catch (I say 'we' but it was really just my fishing buddy, Andy) was a baby wrasse. Anyway, tight lines 👍

Yes, I have done so before. Just be aware that if you bird's nest, it'll be a nightmare. Tight lines 👍

That's the thing... Will the fish you're catching pull on your line nice and slow, and steady, in a perfectly controlled manner, like a machine? Are you not going to use a knot on your hooks and/or end tackles? It does not have to be the J Braid, you can try to repeat the tests I have done by yourself with any line you already have and let us know. 👍Tight lines

"Break tests and other specs vary depending on how manufacturers test their lines" I really dont see why you are comparing what a fish in the wild does to a line Strength Test. Other stimuli apply when actually fishing. So Apples to Oranges. Knots will always be weaker than the line. Thats a fact. You were testing the line strength not the Knot strength. Two entirely different experiments. But you reported on the knot breaking. Correct? Or am I mistaken. BTW I have already explained I've witnessed similar test before that actually tested the LINE STRENGTH, (several brands) so there is no need for me to conduct another one. We just need a test that actually is accurate. J Braid breaks @ a higher strength than listed on its PKG. @@x3mgrifter

as far as I could tell, yes it is.

Hi Richard, you are quite right. The lines were all out on each cast even before the lead touches the water. The only reason I used monofilament in the video is that I didn't think I had enough braid at the time of shooting and this particular line of spool was pretty much full. I did eventually lined the spare spool with braid. Anyway, thanks for watching. 👍

@@x3mgrifter And how did that work for you with braid? A lot of these shallow spare spools don't hold enough braid either. Would be so much better if they were sent with 2 deep spools instead. I think the shallow spool is designed to be sold to the American market where they use these reels for spinning and boat fishing where we use them from the shore.

I still empty the spool every now and then. And with the tapered shallow spool, it's really easy to get wind knots. But for mackerel fishing, this combined with the akios fury fx20, this is really ideal as it's a really light setup.

Yeah, it seems like depending on what continent you're in, the same line is advertised in different break strengths.

Thank you for your kind words. Definitely was a wonderful day! :)

Thanks for your kind words and the sub! I actually had to tame this little beast quite a bit as I am such a horrible caster! I hope you enjoy yours and tight lines! 💪👍

@@x3mgrifter Think I may go to a field and test cast this 30# braid I put on it last night. See if it's any different or better than the mono that was on it. Thanks and you as well! 🌊🌞👍

I have braid on my spare spool and have braids on my other multipliers. Just remember if you think you have your mag brakes dialed in... dial it back a bit more. Make sure to get a video. I have also subbed. Should do a collab when I go back to the states or better yet, just go fishing 🎣 👍

@@x3mgrifter Thanks and for sure! First reel I ever bought with magnetics. I live in Houston, TX and always fish in Galveston and Freeport.

Where did you get yours?

It's called a peak / bow scale. Basically, it's used to measure the peak weight of a drawn bow when shooting. Hope this helps. 👍

Hi, mine actually came with a sparespool but without the case. Here in the UK, the case is bought separately.

Personally, with my casting skills (practically non-existent), around 50-80 metres with an off-the-ground cast, 2 hook-clipped down rig with mid-sized baits and 5 oz lead weight. Anyone else, probably farther.

@@x3mgrifter thanks for the reply!

Exactly. If it works for your purpose, then there's really no reason to change, is there? Anyway, tight lines!

Hi Kevin. Thank you for your kind words - just been really busy with work and life. With regards to your question, I think that's the perfect line diameter for the Okuma Surf 8K with the shallow spool and that's what I personally use, as well. As for the knot, I use Albright knot with only 6 turns. I use a dab of superglue on the knot which just soaks through the knot via capillary action and just fixes the knot in place and it has never failed on me yet.

Hi there. For me, personally, no I would not recommend it. But this is just my opinion as it just feels different to what I am looking for in a braided line. I hope this helps.

Thanks bro

I'm not sure... but it seems like they are available... just as a separate model and color.... *cough* carp reel *cough*.... let me know if you're able to try it out. 👍
