Pros & Cons
Pros
This line casts well and is strong. Easy to cast and fish. A 10lb silky8 is much thicker than varivas highgrade x8 pe0. It's ideal for catching larger fish and fishing in challenging conditions.
Kastking is a popular brand of fishing line known for its high quality and affordability. Its durability, strength, and performance make it a popular choice among fishing enthusiasts. This is the best most durable bang for your buck.
Just bought a second spool to put on my back up rod. This braid is perfect! A tremendous value compared to other braided lines.
Kastking fishing line is a reliable and affordable option for anglers of all levels. It offers a variety of line types, including braided line, fluorocarbon line, and monofilament line.
Cons
The color fades out within a couple of trips in saltwater. The dye bleeds in a bad way. My brand new reel all the white lettering is now blue.
Highlights
Quality
This appears to be a quality braided line at a very good price
I’m very happy with it and would definitely purchase it again.
This is actually probably 25-30 lb braid with the diameter of 6 lb mono.
Though i have not fished yet with the new braid line, but reeling the line stained my fingers and line rings on my pole.
Price
For the cost, i don't think you can go wrong here.
Competitiveness
This is the first time i've purchased a kastking branded braided line.
I fish pretty hard and have used a number of brands: sufix, powerpro, spiderwire etc.
While i won’t say that this is better than powerpro, i also can’t really say it’s any worse.
Now granted i've only used spiderwire and berkeley before and on a cheaper scale.

Has probably been through 10 hrs of use so far mostly around rocks and it has yet to fray
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Initial thoughts right out of the box it looks just like the other more expensive braids out there
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However it is stiff and doesnt free spool off of the reel smoothly
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Hopefully this stiffness will go away with use

If not ill have to swap it out for something else
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Color fades quickly but it casts good and it’s tuff line to break
