Daiwa Samurai Braided Line 300yds Review

I found burs and defects in my spool

Supposedly the best but I found burs and defects in my spool. I'm willing to give it another shot, maybe I just got a bad spool. The burs were right at the very end of the spool and when I found them I was essentially done filling my reel, so none of them got into the reel (at least nothing that I noticed). I didn't see any other burs as I have been fishing. I've cut back to… read more re-tied a few times (I always do after fishing jettys and boulder fields) and have not noticed anything further in the spool either while fishing.

Does not feel like you are using 40LB braid

Have this line spooled on my main baitcaster, and it casts like a dream! Definitely feels like something much lighter than 40LB.

Reduced friction

Compared to other braids, this line produces way less friction when fighting a fish. I fished with it for the first time this last weekend, and caught a nice California yellowtail. I was amazed at how quiet this line was when the fish took it's first long run.

Expensive but Worth it Depending on Application

This line is incredibly expensive relative to other braids. For that reason, I would not recommend it for freshwater or saltwater bait applications. However, I have this line on my plug rod, and it is INSANE how much extra distance you can get out of this line. I used to use power pro super slick and not be able to reach some spots far off from the beach/shore line, but not anymore.… read more

Relative to other braids this line sports a smaller diameter. I've had no problems with knot strength, wind knots, or fray thus far.

Waste of money

Lost several fish due to line failure. Horrible knot retention. Wind knots very easily. Don't waste your money

4 out of 5

I gave it a 4 out of 5 because of its pricey+shipping, but overall the braid line exceeds my expectations.

Excellent Braid Line

It is the softest, easiest handling braided line I have fished to date. It is actually thinner than other braids of comparable rated strength and the sensitivity is outstanding.

To pricey

Got this spun on my reel for free when I bought it and the line was fantastic. The only issue I have is the price.

Great line

Takes some getting used to if you have never fished with braid. Excellent choice though.

Good line but not worth the money.

I have tried many braided lines but I found that I have had more line breaks on this line than on the PowerPro.
