Berkley X9 Line Product Review
Over the past few days of fishing in 2024, I had the chance to test Berkley's new X9 braid in multiple situations. I was particularly impressed with the X9 Lo Vis Green braid in both 10lb and 20lb lines. These low-diameter and low-visibility braids were a perfect fit for the crystal-clear water conditions brought by the recent cold weather. The thin diameter also proved advantageous, helping to better conceal the line in the clear winter water.
Casting with the product was exceptional. The distance of each cast exceeded my expectations. The line’s lack of stretch was a game-changer, making it easier to set the hook on timid fish. Its sensitivity brought a new level of precision, which was especially helpful when targeting the shy fish that winter fishing often presents. I could feel every contact the lure made with the bottom, allowing me to identify and capitalize on bites. As a result, I was able to hook over 80% of my strikes. One of the standout features was the lack of tangling, a common issue with braided lines. After several fishing trips, the braid still remained in excellent shape. For me, Berkley's new X9 braid is undoubtedly an upgrade in fishing line quality for today's angler.
