    I tried some very light braid but not of the quality of the Daiwa. What I found was that any wind knot was almost impossible to undo. Also in my experience braid looses strength through abrasion much faster than mono so I allow for a bit of strength loss as a safety margin.
    My advice would be to Ph Malcomb Bell at The Complete Angler in CHCh and ask for a recommendation. Malc is at the top of the softbait game and has even had 1000 specialist 9'8" rods made up to his own design and spec. These allow the casting of super light 1/16 oz softbaits out 80 + metres over the weed beds in lakes. You might end up buying a new rod
