Hello Fishing Buddies!
Today, we'll be talking about the Spiderwire Stealth Smooth X8 Braid.
(Intro)
Here I
have the Spiderwire Stealth Smooth X8 Braid.
It comes packed in a nice box .
This one is in the Moss Green color.
Behind the box is Spiderwire's own line scoring system and shows that this line is practically
in second place, next to the UltraCast line.
It also recommends the palomar knot with a diagram on how to do it on the bottom.
Let's open it up.
For the line memory, there's practically none - which is the same for almost all braid.
This is advertised to be 0.19mm, and according to my caliper, it is 0.18mm - the closest
to the advertised line diameter I have manually measured to date.
Moving on to the UV torch visibility test.
There's no reaction.
Let's proceed to testing the break test.
This is rated at 30 lbs or 13.6 kg - and even claims a maximum break test of up to 40 lbs.
Let's test it out.
First, is with uni knots with 6 turns.
It broke at 20.78 lbs.
Next, I tried it with the palomar knot.
This time, it
broke at 18.50 lbs.
There we have it.
