I use 4 lb braid for trout with six lb flouro leader. With lines this fine I get way too many break offs and frayed leaders to keep tying new knots. Small swivels are all I use with about three feet of leader. Works but when someone borrows a pole and tries to cast the swivel through the eyelet they get mad. I tell them to tie a working knot with 4 lb braid and that ends the discussion. I sometimes switch to 6 lb braid if I’m chasing known big fish but after you’ve casted 4 lb for awhile 6lb seems pretty thick. I’ve caught up to ten lb fish with 4 lb braid but also had some heartbreakers when I couldn’t keep them out of the weeds.
New line that replaces Nanofil!! Finally...
