This was another very helpful video from you! I‘m into mountain stream fishing with baitcasting gear for about a year now and still in search for the „best“ line to use. I had to learn the hard way some insights you gave in this video: 1. Too thin of a diameter will break, especially when dealing with backlashes, so I switched from 0.5 to 0.8 gou although this might sacrifice some distance. 2. I prefer 8 strand braid over 4 strand braid as it‘s limper and seems to fit better regarding casting very light lures (sub 3 gram) which excludes Varivas Super Trout Advance BFS PE X4. Unfortunately, your most recommended line is hard to get in Europe and more expensive than Varivas Super Trout Advance PE 8, which is the braid I will test next. Right now, I‘m testing Seaguar PE X8 lure edition. Do you know this product? Would you recommend something else meanwhile? I really appreciate your valuable efforts as this is already the 5th video from you where the topic fits a hundred percent my needs. Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany…

Thank you for your comment! Indeed, for casting light lures, supple 8-strand braided PE lines are suitable. However, 8-strand PE lines are more susceptible to damage when rubbed against rocks, so I often use 4-strand braided PE lines instead. I haven't tried the "Seaguar PE X8 lure edition" yet, but I'm planning to give it a try. Unfortunately, many 8-strand braided PE lines are expensive, so I don't have any other items to recommend. Sorry about that. Currently, I'm testing the "YAMATOYO Light Game 0.6". Its white color offers excellent visibility. However, since the line is somewhat stiff, it has the drawback of being difficult to recover from backlashes when used with the 23 Calcutta Conquest BFS.

@@keiryubait thanks for your answer and good morning to Japan. The 23 Calcutta Conquest BFS is indeed a „pain in the ass“ when it comes to dealing with a backlash. Sometimes I hardly can grip the loops due to the narrow spool BUT…..it is without a doubt the most sexy reel on the market in my opinion. Very classic and also modern in the same way.

The 23 Calcutta Conquest BFS is indeed a fantastic reel. I use it myself as well. It would be perfect if it were a bit easier to deal with backlashes.😅
Hi ! I have very good results with the very cheap LEYDUN X8 😉

Thanks for the comment! It is difficult to tell the general public in Japan to shop at Aliexpress, so I introduced a selection of fishing lines available at regular fishing tackle stores. I know many people want cost-effective fishing lines even if they buy from Aliexpress, so please introduce them to us! I'd like to know too!😊

I bought some PE line from Daiso and it was like the very cheap PE you can buy at Aliexpress. It's not very high quality, so I feel it's hard to recommend.😅
