I just bought my a daughter the Zebco Bullet spin cast. It comes spooled with 10lb mono and going to try 15lb Suffix 832 on it. Any thoughts? Thanks I had some of my best memories with one of those reels. She will love it. I might have to buy another for sake of nostalgia.

Daiwa Samarai is best. I use 55lb for most but go down to 30lb for crankbaits just for attaining depth.

When I use braid on a baitcaster, I have always used 65 lb because lighter braid had issues with wind drift, roundness and digging into the spool. But that stuff is way stronger than I need and almost impossible to break when you need to. My braid research stopped years ago. Is there a good lighter test braid that doesnt have these problems? Hopefuly 30 lb but even 40 or 50 would be better than 65. Thx for your help. If you donโt care about color daiwa samurai is probably the best. It only comes in green. 30 is thin. I use some green Samurai, but mostly the YELLOW Samurai. PLUS the same line in the metered version called Saltiga Boat multi-color. For a closed face spinning reel (spincast) the stiffer superlines work better like Fireline and Stealth.
