Berkley x9 Braid 0.3mm 150m 22.7kg Crystal

Berkley x9 Braid 0.3mm 150m 22.7kg Crystal — Next-level smoothness

The Berkley x9 Braid in Crystal takes braided line performance to the next level. While 8-strand braids have long been the standard, x9 adds a ninth strand for enhanced strength, reliability, and effortless casting over distance.

Designed for optimal strength and casting distance

Constructed from 100% PE fibres, the x9 Braid combines exceptional breaking strain with a smooth surface. The 9-strand construction delivers superior strength-to-diameter ratio, allowing you to spool heavier line on smaller reels without sacrificing capacity. At 0.3mm (0.012") diameter, this variant offers 22.7kg breaking strain — ideal for targeting larger predators and robust fish in both fresh and saltwater.

Smooth for long and quiet casts

The additional ninth strand creates a rounder, tighter weave that glides smoothly through rod guides. This translates to longer, more accurate casts with less noise on the retrieve — a critical advantage when targeting wary fish. The Crystal colour provides excellent versatility across various water conditions and visibility preferences.
