Don't, it's crap as a casting braid in my experience. Asides from casting it is a super nice braid; really thin for the breaking strain and silky smooth. Would be nice for a little overhead I'd imagine. It wind knots super easy, forms knots in the line whilst casting mid air away from the guides.

samurai is great light jigging braid but never used it for casting, found that daiwa boat braid is real good even in light line classes
