I am definitely after metered braid as will be doing mostly jigging.
That probably rules the Tasline out unfortunately.

I have heard great things about the daiwa boat braid but I think the 80lb is PE8 which is just too thick for the 8000.

Suffix performance braid does seem to fit the bill (and the pockets) quite nicely. That may end up being the way I go.

Before I pull the trigger does anyone have any other suggestions of jigging braid with good strength/thickness ratio?
 
Check out the Katana braid.  It is metered for jigging and all 8-carrier too.  Braid is made in Taiwan using material from Nippon Dyneema of Japan.
 

Line sizes are –

PE2      .20mm(PE1.5)              39.2lb

PE3      .24mm(PE2)                 44.9lb

PE4      .32mm                         66lb

PE5      .36mm (PE4.5)             71.3lb

PE6      .41mm                         76.6lb

PE8      .43mm (PE7)                100.3lb

PE10    .50mm (PE9)                137.3lb

 
at friendly prices so ask at your local tackle stores.
 
 
give it death!

Chris, I was trying to get hold of some of this a couple of weeks ago, no one it Tauranga had it, tried Decoro, Top Catch, Hunting and Fishing, FCO, even Te Puke Rod and Line. Couldn't even find any online at the usual sites. Can't buy it if I can't get hold of it.

Did you ask the shops to stock it?
Shops won't stock anything unless you start asking. 
PM me and I'll send it to a store of your choice .
