Smallest braid you’ve thrown on baitcaster?

How’d it work for you? I’m mainly thinking of how likely really light braid is to backlash, and braid backlashes are such a pain.

30 is as low as I would go.

I’ve thrown 20 and it took some getting used to

20 in saltwater. Kept breaking it so went to 30. Throw 30 on all my saltwater setups minus the topwater rod. Throw mono on that one. The 30 does get wind knots in it but I change after a few trips like I do with flouro in fresh water.

50lb

I stick with 30 for normal work, and go with 65 for the heavy grass and cover

20lb Power Pro on an old Ambassadeur Blackmax 1600. Handles it perfectly!

Ditto.

I have 20lb power pro on a baitcaster but would stick to 30 or 40lb. 65lb for your flipping and big swimbait rods

20lb

#30 on all my baitcasters.
Our local Acadamy is now carrying the Gliss line.
Really like that stuff.
Have it on four of my baitcasters and as soon as the Power Pro braid is ready
to change out on the others I will go with the Gliss.

20# Suffix 832 for saltwater. You can cast a 1/16oz jig head a half mile. A corky would allow you to throw most the line of fishing the spool. I only put about 10 wraps around the spool of backing and was able to cast almost to the backing.

Man that Gliss stuff is worse than Nano-slip aka Nanofil. It would break for no reason. Glad you had luck with it I could not. Reviews on TW on the stuff suggest I am by far not the only one who has had it break on a cast or hook set, or sometimes just start falling apart for no particular reason.

50# Power Pro.

I am using some 15lb Power Pro Slick braid for a rig that I throw finesse worms and senkos and flukes.

I use 40 at the smallest. 30 starts to dig into itself on the spool at this weight for me. Casting and being unaware of line dug in on spool can be quite the shock.

It works fine for me. Actually, I've never had a problem with either Gliss or Nanofil. Of course Nanofil was designed for spinning reels so that is the only place I use it. Tie fluoro leader from 18" to 40 feet on with an FG or blood know.

I don't use them all the time as I use braid on casting and spinning but I like the Gliss for things that need casting performance --- I do need to change it once more often than braid (I have some braid I have fished for 5 years but probably change the Gliss about every 8-10 days of use).

#30 Fins Windtamer

Same here for me with 10 & 20lb. Once it digs in, trying to cast becomes a pain due to it kept hanging up mid cast. I would have to completely unwind it after getting back home.
