LEYDUN X8 Braided PE Fishing Line, 300m 8-Strand
LEYDUN X8 Braided PE Fishing Line, 300m 8-Strand
LEYDUN X8 is an 8-strand braided PE line built for anglers who want a thin, round, low-stretch line that transmits every bump and tick straight up the rod. The tight weave keeps the line smooth through guides and resists fraying around rock, wood, and dock pilings, which matters when you are working largemouth into heavy cover.
With almost no stretch, hooksets are instant and direct, making this line a strong choice for flipping, pitching, and Texas-rigging soft plastics around grass and timber. It also handles well on spinning gear for finesse presentations, giving smallmouth anglers better feel in deep water or current where bite detection is everything.

How to fish it
- Spool the braid onto the reel over a few wraps of mono or leader backing to prevent spin-out on the arbor.
- Tie a fluorocarbon or mono leader with an FG or Alberto knot when fishing clear water or line-shy bass.
- Use the low stretch to set the hook fast and firm when flipping soft plastics into grass or brush.
- Check the line above the leader knot after fishing rock or dock cover, since braid shows wear at contact points before it fails.
Frequently asked
For flipping and pitching around grass or wood, most anglers choose 1.5# to 2.5#, which gives strong pulling power for horsing fish out of cover.
Yes, a fluorocarbon leader is recommended in clear water since braid alone can be visible and lacks the abrasion resistance fluorocarbon offers near rock and cover.
Yes, the low stretch and thin diameter help detect light bites in deep water or current, which is common when targeting smallmouth on drop shots or jigs.
Braid does not degrade from UV or moisture like mono, so it holds up well over a season, though the leader connection should be retied periodically if it shows wear.
