Phenix iron feather may be thinner then daiwa j braid 8x (im not sure), silk ocean PE .4 is .04mm and it is supposedly 12lb test, i ordered some .8 to try it and the .8 is 18.1lb it is .09 mm very expensive though, 63$ for 400m.
Good to know - the thinner the better and hopefully it performs well -- I'm also becoming a big fan of fluorocarbon on the baitcasters of late - it's so nice to have a line which really bucks the wind really, really well.
@JSturr yeah, I'll be honest I kind of hate fluro I never use it, it's expensive, and so much weaker then mono, after it's been stretched near it's breaking point even once it becomes like 20% weaker and how I fish I will sometimes hook into a 3lb bass or 7+lb channel cat on ul so the only line I use is braid and mono, can't take the chance of breaking off on such a big fish the other day I landed 2 2.5lb bass on 3lb mono, with fluro it most definitely would of broken
I haven't had any issues of late - but I'll keep your experiences in mind -- I'm using Seguar as of late and it has been performing really well - so far I'm a big fan - caught 6 Rainbow Trout this weekend and it worked just great.
@JSturr that's good that you aren't having any issues. Hopefully, it stays that way. The fluro I tried wash berkley Vanish and seagar Red Label so try and stay away from those 2, I hated both of them
I’ve switched to all mono on the trigger spins … the braid just doesn’t spool off the reel good enough not to notice when using … and it makes sense … as braid is just too specific for these reels.
J-braid is amazing, but it’s soo hard to find 6# in the 300m spool
@@Jellycheez I’ve been lucky to find it on the EBay in the 3000 yd spool for $125. But you have to hunt for the listings.

I have gone back to mono on my trigger spin and spincast. Cleaner operation in my opinion
So how does that J-Braid do on your Micro 33 gold? Does it cast better than mono?
