Customer photo review of Optic Orange 8X- No Fade - Ultra Performance 8 Strand

Absolutely love this line, doesn’t fray when hung up and can definitely handle those fish way better, not to mention highly visible on those night trips. Hands down the best line I’ve bought so far!

No complaints on functionality but the orange started to wash off. I had orange dye on my hands and my towel. A couple more fishing trips and my line will be white which pisses me off because that's what I took off of my reel and replaced it with orange

Beyond braid is all I use now these days , haven’t lost va fish due to bad line , it cuts right through grass beds where redfish like to lurk , I’m a artificial lure fisherman , for over 25 years now this is the best braid I’ve ever used and will use it till I can’t fish anymore

Well, brand new reel and brand new optic orange. For some reason the line spooled heavier in one side than the other. Now I’m tasked with saving the line somehow and unspooling it. Hopefully I can figure out why a 375 dollar reel would do this.

I've got 80lb orange on 5 of my 14 catfish rigs and after a month of weekly use I'm confident enough to respool the rest of my reels with it. Love the color , highly visible in all light conditions and hasn't shown any signs of fading yet. Also can't beat the price , gets expensive spooling 14 reels. Going to purchase the 2000yd spool next.

Excellent Customer Service, they were very helpful when I had an issue at checkout with a discount code. They fixed the issue very quickly and were very friendly. The braid is top notch for a great price. I have used it on my bait casters and as backing on my saltwater fly reels for over a year, so far no issues. Beyond Braid is my go to line for all my equipment. Thank You

Customer photo review of Optic Orange 8X- Ultra Performance 8 Strand

Man lemme tell you something. If u go on Amazon u see a ton of mixed reviews. Well I’m here to sell you. Most ppl complain about the dye going on to ur fingers while spoiling. I work at a cabelas and we spool line for customers all the time. There’s always dye on our fingers after spooling braid. From the best braids to the worst it’s just how it is. Next the casting with this line is so smooth it’s unbelievable. I caught this bass above and was testing the limits of the braid by kind of horsing him in. No wear and tear on the line or anything this line is top notch if you are serious about fishing this is a must have to have in your arsenal!!!

Took 12 days to arrive, which is largely the the fault of USPS, however BB didn’t create a label for 3 days. Most importantly, i did not receive the flourocarbon leader I ordered.

Optic Orange 8X- No Fade - Ultra Performance 8 Strand

I love the Braid, but the ordering/delivery process left a lot to be desired! This order was fulfillment of two spools shorted on a previous order, without any notice from the company. Wee ks after the initial, short, delivery, I contacted them about the shortage. They acknowledged the shortage, saying the items were out of stock; no apology for failing to notify me at the time of my initial order, and no info as to what was in stock. I went to their websit and picked two spools which appeared to be in stock, one of which was shorted in my initial order! They did come back and tell me one of the substitutes was, in fact, out of stock (but I had to guess which one). I got lucky, I guess, and picked the Orange and also selected Bahama Blue. Within a week. I got notice that the Orange had shipped, but no mention of the Blue. I elected not to question them (at that time) about the Blue. Low and behold, when the shipment arrived (in a very timely manner), both an orange and blue spool were included. Even though I've order from them successfully on several previous occasions, and have been very satisfied with every product, I might be done dealing with them. This lack of communications was very frustrating, and time consuming.

I love the 8 strand braid! It’s smooth casting. I’m too old to worry about how far I can cast but I can tell you that it effortless with this line. It’s silly and smooth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Optic Orange is a hi-vis line and that is the point. It is built so you can see your line, not so fish cannot, which is exactly what you want for bite detection, night fishing, and keeping several rods separated in a boat. Run 18 to 36 inches of fluorocarbon leader and the fish only ever sees the leader.

Eight strands are woven tighter and rounder, so 8X is thinner for the same pound test, slicker through the guides, quieter on the cast, and it flies farther. Four strands weave flatter and squarer, which makes 4X a little grabbier on rock and shell and easier on the wallet. Simple rule: throwing light lures on spinning gear or chasing casting distance, take 8X. Fishing heavy cover, dragging bottom, or filling several reels on a budget, 4X is the workhorse. Both use the same PE fiber and the same diameter chart.

No. This is one of our No Fade lines, which means the color is locked into the fiber instead of coated onto the surface. It does not bleed onto your hands, your rod, or your reel, and it does not wash out to gray after a season in the sun. Fading was the single most common complaint anglers had about braid, ours included, which is exactly why the No Fade series exists.

This one is offered in 8lb, 10lb, 15lb, 20lb, 30lb, 40lb, 50lb, 60lb, 80lb, 100lb. As a starting point: 8 to 15lb for trout, panfish, and finesse, 20 to 30lb for bass and all-around freshwater, 30 to 50lb for inshore snook, reds, and trout, 50 to 65lb for heavy inshore and light offshore, 80lb and up for offshore and big structure. Diameters: 8lb at 0.10mm, 10lb at 0.12mm, 15lb at 0.16mm, 20lb at 0.20mm, 30lb at 0.28mm, 40lb at 0.32mm, 50lb at 0.37mm, 60lb at 0.40mm, 80lb at 0.48mm, 100lb at 0.55mm. This one comes in 300 Yards, 500 Yards, 2000 Yards. A 300 yard spool fills one average reel. 500 yards covers one big reel or two smaller ones. The 2000 yard bulk spool is for filling several reels at once and works out to the lowest cost per yard. Braid is thinner than mono at the same rating, so most anglers step up a size from the mono they used to run and still gain casting distance.

For braid to leader, the FG knot is the strongest and thinnest and it passes through guides cleanly. A double uni with 6 to 8 wraps per side is easier on the water and holds fine under 30lb. Straight to a hook or lure, use a Palomar tied with doubled line. Wet every knot before you cinch it, because a dry knot burns and that is where most break-offs actually happen. When you spool up, keep firm tension on the line the whole way, use mono backing or a strip of tape on a bare arbor so the braid cannot slip, and stop about an eighth of an inch below the spool lip. An overfilled spool is the real cause of most wind knots people blame on the line.

Braid is slick enough to spin on a bare spool. Either lay down a short mono or fluoro backing and join it with an FG or double uni knot, or wrap a strip of electrical tape around the bare arbor first. Then spool under steady tension with the line coming off the filler spool the same direction it goes onto your reel, which is what keeps wind knots from showing up on your first cast.

Much thinner at the same strength, usually right around half the diameter. That is the whole point: you pack far more line onto the same reel, you cut through wind instead of ballooning in it, and you cast noticeably further. Exact diameters for every pound test in this line are listed in the size chart on this page.

No. Modern guide inserts handle braid without any trouble. What actually shreds line is a guide insert that is already chipped or cracked. Run a cotton swab around the inside of each guide once a season, and if it snags a fiber, replace that guide before it costs you a fish.

Not with nail clippers, and not with a knife. Braid is a PE fiber that frays and rolls away from a dull edge instead of cutting, so you end up with a mashed end that will not pass through a knot cleanly. Use a dedicated braid scissor with serrated blades for a square cut, and your knots will seat right the first time.

Braid outlasts mono by a wide margin, so most anglers get multiple seasons out of one spool. The last stretch of line takes nearly all the abuse, so before you replace the whole thing, strip off the first 20 to 30 yards and retie. When the line starts feeling fuzzy well down the spool, or you have lost enough to hurt your capacity, it is time. You can also pull the line off, reverse it end for end, and respool to get a full second life out of it.
