Berkley x9 Braid 0.17mm 150m 9.1kg Crystal

Berkley x9 Braid 0.17mm — smooth 9-strand line for precision casting

The Berkley x9 Braid in 0.17mm Crystal combines the strength of 100% PE fibres with the smoothness of a 9-strand construction. Where conventional 8-strand braids stop, the x9 adds an extra strand for improved reliability and effortless casting performance.

Optimised for strength and distance

The 9-strand design delivers a breaking strain of 9.1kg while maintaining a fine 0.17mm diameter. This extra strand distributes load more evenly than traditional 8-strand braids, resulting in consistent knot strength and reduced weak points along the line.

Smooth and quiet through the guides

The tight 9-strand weave creates a rounder profile that glides through rod guides with minimal friction and noise. You'll notice smoother retrieves, longer casts, and less disturbance on the water—particularly valuable when targeting wary fish in clear conditions.
