Reaction Tackle X8 Braided Fishing Line - NO FADE Red 8 Strand

X8 8-strand braid in NO FADE Red. 10–100 lb test, spools from 150 to 1,500 yards.

• ✅ Longer, smoother casts — round 8-strand weave means less friction through the guides
• ✅ Quiet retrieves — no "zipper" noise like 4-strand
• ✅ Zero stretch, high sensitivity — feel light bites and get faster hooksets
• ✅ Strong knots — tight X8 weave holds knots well under load
• ✅ Low memory, abrasion resistant — lays flat on the spool and stands up to rocks and cover
• ✅ Freshwater and saltwater

🎨 Why NO FADE Red?

• No Fade — made with fibers colored at the source instead of a surface dye, so the color won't fade, bleed onto your reel or rub off. See the full NEVER FADE line.
• Easy to see above water — great for line watching.

🪢 Rigging Tips

• Knot: we suggest a Palomar knot for tying braid directly to hooks and lures.
• Clear water or line-shy fish: add a fluorocarbon leader.
• Cutting: braid is tough on regular clippers. Braid shears make clean cuts.
