Created with the latest cutting edge technologies in braided line development, Berkley X9 Braided Line – Low-Vis Green achieves exceptional performance marks while remaining at a highly competitive price point. X9 is the first 9-carrier braid and surpasses its 8-carrier competition in terms of strength, smoothness, and casting distance. This 9-strand design features a traditional 8-strand weave with a polyethylene core fiber. This design achieves increased knot strength, superior resistance to abrasion, and gives the braid a smooth, perfectly round profile that allows for easy line management and enhanced casting distance as the braid effortlessly flows through the guides.

it's definitely thinner then most brands. I haven't tried it yet but seems like it will be fine. It's fairly smooth as well

Use for trolling mojo's for bass. Strong, abrasion resistant, easy to handle, doesn't fade too badly. Thin diameter helps get down to the fish.
Pros
- Thin, strong, abrasion resistant, easy to tie, smooth.

Replaces PowerPro as my Go To braid
January 4, 2022
My new Go TO Braid for all casting and conventional.
After a full season I have nothing but accolades for this line. Ultra strong and from the research I have done, comparing manufacturers specifications Berkley X9 is the smallest diameter braid available. In some cases the diameter difference between X9 and other leading braids can be as much as XX%. For example the dimeter of 15lb X9 is 0.14mm. PowerPro 15lb braid comes in at .008in or .203mm. That is nearly a 30% difference!
With such small diameters it seems the difference may be trivial. BUT... fish down 30, 50, 60 plus feet with strong currents over the entire length of line and the difference is VERY real.
The line also casts very well. Again thin diameter wins this game again and again. Have not experienced any memory issues. The line lays very well onto the spool.
The above is only 15 lb test. Same big differences as one moves up the strength ladder.
The line is strong. Easy to tie and holds up well under repeated often saltwater outings.
This stuff is great.

Pros
- (1) Thinnest diameter of any major braid.
- (2) Ties well.
- (3) Casts great even into heavy wind
- (4) No memory
- (5) Spools neatly
- (6) Reduces current drag.
- (7) Strong, strong, strong!
Cons
- (1) The crystal clear stains real easy. So if you have murky water like we often will see along the northeast coast... the line will take on brownish color. Thus I prefer the green.
- (2) Not really and issue but worth mention. With such thin braid you have to be sure to properly tie your mono or fluoro leader using a good knot that digs into the leader material... like an Alberto or F.
- (3) SO thin that my old eyes sometimes just cant see the line. LOL

Was a long time Power Pro Super 8 user for all my spinning & casting reels from 6 to 65 pound test. Not any more! Berkley hit a home run with their X9 braided Line!!! Super smooth casting, better price, and more line for your money.

Purchased the crystal and got it first since this one was on back order but once it arrived it proved just as strong.
