suggestion for #0.3 PE or less

Tas trout season will be opening in a few weeks from now and therefore in the market for some braid for the new season.

any suggestion for #0.3 PE or less would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Duel Armored F+ range has a PE #0.1.

I have been using the same in #0.8 and #1. Not too bad.

It is a fused PE and fluorocarbon hybrid line. Let me know if you need more information on it.

I'm gonna give straight through flouro a shot this coming trout season I hope it'll be as awesome as I think it'll be. Why go so low in PE I find PE 0.6-0.8 will do everything and more you could ask for in the streams.

hello RFF.

i find that there is a big diff in casting distance between the #0.6 and the #0.3... therefore going for the #0.3 to cover more grounds quicker..

good suggesstion to go straight for the FC... what poundage would your recommend? would the stretch bother you?

I have been using braid for many years now, so imagine the straight though will be quite different. Im planning on using some 4lb from varivas I use 4lb leaders for all my stream trout fishing. 4lb could be seen as overkill but I like being able to pull a snagged lure back or yank a lure out of a tree on a rare misscast .
The main advantages I see are.

> not having to tie leaders.
> abit of stretch to help keep a few more fish on, I use fairy stiff rods while trout fishing
> more stealth even though the stream trout aren't that spooky
> when bush bashing braid can be a real pain as it gets hung up in plans and stuff, flouro shouldn't as much.
