IMO its just too thin mate, also the 70m spool is just too small. Nice on 1003 sized reels but I personally think even a 2000 size reel needs a thicker line to be managable.

I'm really loving Sunline super PE 8lb (0.8PE i think) in white. I've got hunch white is the colour of the original fibres, and therefore no paint or dye is needed and the fibres feel "pure".

I've changed all my Bream reels from Sunline Castaway to Super PE in white, Crazy right?

No, its $29.95 for 150m and really nice stuff to boot....

For Sunline JP #0.4 dia would equal to 0.104mm. Don't know about Daiwa's but many Japanese companies should share the same standard in the " # to mm thing".

It makes sense to me for a 0.104mm pe line = 8lb.

i had a crappy experience with sunline super pe in green. i cant stand the stuff. fair call about gekka braid being too thin, heard that elsewhere too. cheers mate
