    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.

    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.

    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.

    That right, I have those jigs, you'll just start to feel some weight on your rod.
