KalexKbqs30-Lvg Braid 300 Meter Low Vis Green

Summary:Great value, decent quality.I bought several times when it goes on sale. Got break strength rated 15, 20, 65 lbs. Thus several reviews. Not sure why they all lumped together.Updated March 05, 2020Just bought 15 lb line in hi vis yellow. The good: strong line broken around 20.5lb. pretty thin too, since I also bought 20 lb line in multicolor. This 15 one is much thinner. The bad: color is off and dye gets off like crazy. Your hand will get the color just by touching it.Updated Feb 19,2020This is the third order I have on kalex braided lines. You can see my previous review on 65lb and 20lb below.I noticed that they often drop the price significantly on certain strength lines, at a very steep discount. It happened again on 30lb lines a few days ago, so I picked up some.The line strength is decent. I get about avg 28lbs after a few tests. But the color seems fading or rubbing offore easily than the previous two. Not sure if different dye or bad quality control. But I can live with that.(update)I just realized that amazon made a mistake. They replaced my original 65 lb review with this 20 lb review (I bought 65lb first, then 20lb).Basically, 65 lb test broke around 55 lb after multiple tests with proper setup (ie wrap the line around the reel to simulate fighting a fish). If you just tied to a dead weight, it'll break around 40 lbs. Most people test their lines this way, which is wrong.The 20 lb line is much better.(previous)I bought this to try out. Great value. Tested the line strength with proper setup (loaded on reel to simulate real world application). Test 4 times, did not break at knots but at middle, averaged 24 lbs, better than the 65 lb version (see my other review). I think that's a reasonable claim.If the test not done properly, it'll break at 19 lbs (ie the line was tied to a heavy weight, instead rolled on the reels)

I finally found my perfect fishing line! Even other fishermen have complimented on it by saying "Nothing is going to break that." I love how it is so heavy-duty strong despite the fact that it is thinner in diameter than other braided lines with the same pound test. After losing a fish with monofilament line i replaced all my poles with this line. It has been awesome time after time. Nothing has been able to break it. There is no way any one person can break this line; you should NEVER even attempt to because it would just seriously cause you injury! The big turtles, the big catfish...despite how hard they fought to get away, this amazing Kalex braided line has remained undamaged and unbreakable. I just love it! I would not buy any other braided line but this awesome Kalex braided line. It is truly spectacular. (It is also great for beading jewelry. if you want to make necklaces and bracelets that will not break off on you, this is it!) 💕☺️💜⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I starting using a baitcaster I found that I had fewer backlashes if I used braided line instead of monofilament. The only problem was, "fewer" isn't the same as "none" and braided line costs a lot more than mono.Not long after I started buying the "cheap" stuff on Amazon, I realized it only sold for cheap for one of two reasons—either it's a low-quality knockoff or a private label product (i.e., a product being manufactured by one company for sale under another company's brand).And while I sincerely doubt that this braid is a knockoff given it's being manufactured by PureFishing®, I also know that being a private label product doesn't guarantee quality. That said, so far this line has exceeded all my expectations.My only gripe is that, in my opinion, the color closer to chartreuse than what I normally think of as hi-vis yellow. In other words, there's nothing truly worth complaining about.

I been used many lines from different brands and I wanted to give Kalex a try.Line quality seems very good, I noticed the line is very thin for a 40 LB. I decided to do a test and results was same as I thought, 40 lb line basically broke at 20 lb , 22 lb , 25 lb.I’m not sure if there’s manufacturing error on labeling or it’s just a fake numbers.I’m ordering 60 lb and I will give it a try and update my review.Update: ordered 50 lb test and hold much better than the 40 lb test, it’s break near 40 lb which is not bad at allOrdered 20 lb test break 17.50 lb ( still pretty good)

This love is made by Pure Fishing (stren, spiderwire, etc). I haven't checked breaking strength on a scale, but have landed some big bass (7-8lbs) no issues. I have not had any break off with the 30 lb test. Line is a bit stiff (for braid) at first but loosens up a bit after a few casts. Seems well worth it if your on a budget

I was just getting into using braid and figured I'd start slow. So I use this for backing and then put about 300 ft of fluorocarbon or mono on top. DEFINITELY has made the retrieve smoother and anecdotally the casts feel a lot better as well. It is damn near impossible to break this stuff when I originally paired it with some 20lb Fluoro.I've never used other braids but when I was spooling up, there is some residue on the line that will come off onto your fingers, but a little spit and my jeans took it right off :). Lets hope I don't get cancer because of that in 20 years.

As good as any of the other braids I have tried here on Amazon. Typically I buy reaction tackle braid and have found it to be quite reliable and hard to break when fishing the rocks for ling cod. This seems every bit as good with a thinner diameter. I couldn't resist the deal on a 1000 meter spool and I'm not disappointed. 50 pound is what I buy. Strong enough to pull big fish out of rocks yet light enough I can still break it off when I get hung. Perfect for my boat.

I've been using this line for several months now for Florida inshore species such as red fish, snook and sea trout, often around oyster bars and mangrove roots. The line has held up well and I haven't lost any fish to unreasonable line failure (shark will 🦈). The line is reasonably supple, is easy enough to tie and holds it's color better than that one name brand.
