Jun's comment: This metered line is tightly woven, and feels like the metered version of YGK Upgrade X8, which I highly value its performance for #0.6-#1.5. I have started using this Saltiga 8 line #1 for offshore light jigging, and I was satisfied with it for 2 day fishing. Line is still tight and smooth. I will update long-term review. April 17 2020. After about 10 days of use in Tai-rubber 30-50m deep jigging and other applications, this line has started to feel a little rough on guides. Maybe its surface coatings are losing. Let's see how it lasts. July 6, 2020. After another 10 days of use in light jigging and puffer fish fishing, I experienced a few unexpected line breaks. Sep 26, 2020. Overall, this line is good, but it could be better to have more durability in saltwater fishing. AND, I decided to give another chance to the line. I rinsed the line fully to remove salt from its body to test it on another fishing later. I think I didn't remove salt from line and the salt accumulated between fibers has caused the problem in last September. Jan 2, 2021.
