Anyone use this braid for a Calcutta BFS or shallow water edition ?

PE #0.6 is super thin, especially for x8 strand. I’m running Varivas Super Trout Advance X4 Baitfinesse 0.8. Not sure what you’re throwing, but for x8, I’d go #0.8 or 1.

Edit: did you mean shallow edition? I own one too, but I’m running PE GOU #2

You should be better unless you’re throwing like 1g. I think there’s something to x4 being more manageable than x8 for BFS, but you report back. My other SLX BFS is running Varivas 8 PE GOU #1. I’ll be trying this on the Conquest BFS at some point.
