Jinkai is definitely soft, I'm not sure if that makes it less durable.

I use Jinkai for leaders just because it is so soft and easy to work with, but Moi Moi just because I have had good louck with it. I think the 50lb breaks around 74 based on the Sportfishing Mag's test, fought a 160lb bluefin on 50lb test moi moi for 2.5 hours and it held up, thats why I stick with it.

I am sure jinkai is just as good,

Are you blue marlin fishing? or GBFT fishing?

Momoi Diamond is typicaly harder then most other lines, Jinkai it just the opposite.

That said

130# Jinkai DBS (Dry Breaking Strength) is approx 127 lbs and is 1.04 dia
130# Momoi Diamond DBS (Dry Breaking Strength) is approx 152 lbs and is 1.23 dia

so overall moi moi is a little more durable than the jenkai,where the jenkai may be easier to work with

I use 150 Jinkai on my bally headers but use 80/130 diamond for topshots and heavier diamond for lures. I like the way a bally swims with the softer line. With that said I do rerig my bally rigs more often then lures as the diamond will last longer.
