I will say though that while fishing, I have never had a problem with them

When fishing with lures that weigh under 30g, braid is the only line that allows you to cast a long distance, unless youre willing to fish with 5lb fluorocarbon or mono

For 8 lb applications, Xplasma Asegai is a strong match when long casts, smooth handling, and sensitivity are at the top of the list

Ive adjusted my spool tension and brake tension multiple different settings to no avail

Nope, with these two 8-strand braids at the prices they are, to me the choice between a 4-strand and an 8-strand now comes down to what you want from your braid and what you prefer fishing with
