I just bought a 1500M spool of #100 J-Braid. When I saw the price(wholesale) I thought it must be wrong because it was so low. I added an 1800M spool of Boat Braid in #100 in case I did not like the J-Braid.
Both spools came today and are stamped at .50mm each in thickness. There is a visible difference in line thickness with the J-Braid being much thicker. To the eye, I would say 30% thicker in the same # rating.
I only had time for a quick test but as expected in a bimini-bimini loop pull test, the thinner line(boat braid) broke first. I do not have a scale to go over #50 accurately so I was just testing 1 line versus the other, straight pull.
I plan on spooling up a few reels this week and hope to get out to do some testing on the water.
The only other visible thing of note is that the J-braid utilizes brighter colors.
