That is about 8lb. test line if I read their specs correctly. Should be strong enough for Panfish!!

It throws a 1/32 jig a mile, a 1/64 does not go far. I know it is a little heavy but I can see it. When I was using 2/3# mono, I could not tie a knot in the boat, so I had 3 rigs set up, if I broke off, I would use another. I wanted 4# and will get it.
As long as it works for your applications, I say fish on brother,,,,and take pics:biggrin
My 1/32 do it mold without a collar weighs 1/43 with a #8 hook. I use it a lot and like the cast I get with it. 1/64 is a challenge but I can use it. 1/80 and it better be close. I judge all my line against these weights. I’m hoping that along these trials I’ll find a braid with as good or better casting as the Nanofil but tougher against abrasion. Thanks for all the info y’all post, helps shorten my learning curve.
I just cant love braided line , its just not my thing , I need stretch in my line because I set the hook like a tournament bass angler on ANYTHING that even faintly resembles a bite :Rofl
One of my problems also- Ketchn
Thats whats been keeping me from using braid on my panfish/crappie rigs. I sometimes rip the hook out using mono, I can imagine for me at least the hookup rate will drop with braid.
Now on my bass rigs I'm slowly switching almost everything over to braid. Every time I get a hit on those rods I'm set the hook like I'm trying to rip their heads out and sometimes the mono/fluro doesn't cut it.
For those having problem setting the hook.....get you some Daiwa Gekkabijin jig heads and the fish will set the hook. I haven’t set the hook in years.....no need to.
