Best braid bar none.

Outcast most 6lb braid by at least 5m

Yeah it's good! Nice and smooth and a round profile.

mate look at td sensor daiwa .. if your breaming.. well i run it for my bream reels
bass reals and flattie reels. i have it in 4lb 6lb 8lb 10lb no wind knots .... but you have to be spot on with your knot tying ...

also i ve had sunline castaway which i was happy with ..
my mates have super pe and hes not happy with it in 4lb ... yet ive used it in 20lb and 30lb bottom bashing and no drammas but obviously not casting it

love my super pe and castaway, got some unitika silver thread whicj is a great super light line, have heard great thinks about most daiwa braids but I have heard a lot of people dont like sensor but I've never used it.

Sensor is horrible. So thick and not even that strong. 1 year on and I'm still in love with the daiwa 8 braid. So much so I spooled my heavier rods with 15 and 20lb. Not cheap though

Lol i like sensor, but yeah it's a bit thick. Got in on both my caldias performs well imo. I like orange braid due to the visibility. What colours daiwa 8 out of curiousity?

in 4lb it is if you cant tie your knots properly

practice makes perfect

I used it (Sensor) for a month before ripping it off.
I had 4lb and the 12lb daiwa 8 easily casts as well if not better.

Casting distance insnt everything though, and the stiffer sensor was marginly better for wind knots.

Daiwia 8 is a high viz fluro Green
