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. JB Hollow, Varivas GT ... ------------- 6th place in the inaugural Te Kauwhata Regionals paddle crab division |

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
