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. And the line is still working fine. Jan 2, 2021. Hum, even after 3 years of use, the line is still working fine. June 15 2023. I have picked #3-300m line to spoon onto Shimano Ocea Jigger NR2000HG for deep jigging. March 2021. This line is strong enough and 80lb leader broke and lost a couple of fish. I have changed the way I tie the leader to metal jigs then. I have landed 22kg yellow fin tuna in April 2023 with the line. The line is still fine in April 2024.
