YGK X-Braid Upgrade X8 – 8-Strand Braided PE Line
The YGK X-Braid Upgrade X8 is designed for serious anglers who demand both performance and reliability. Manufactured in Japan, this high-performance braided line combines WX8 construction with YGK’s advanced processing techniques to deliver exceptional strength, sensitivity, and smoothness.
With its ultra-tight weave and superior roundness, Upgrade X8 minimizes line friction, resulting in longer casts and improved lure control. The minimal stretch ensures maximum bite detection and hook-setting power, while the tough yet flexible design provides excellent abrasion resistance in demanding conditions.
The striking Green/White color pattern enhances visibility and helps anglers monitor line movement and depth control. Available in both 200m and 300m spools, the Upgrade X8 is engineered to perform at the highest level whether you’re jigging offshore, casting lures inshore, or pursuing trophy fish.
