JDM PE line (what we would call braid) is absolutely wonderful stuff. It is expensive, and the lighter weight lines are extremely expensive, but high quality comes at a high price.
Although Sunline does sell braid for trout fishing, they sell a truly excellent braid for ultralight saltwater fishing. It seems we don't do much ultralight saltwater fishing in the US, but it is a big thing in Japan. Their Small Game PE-HG line works beautifully as a BFS line for trout fishing!
When I started using a baitcaster in trout streams I used the same nylon mono that I used with my spinning reels. Researching various lines, it seemed that most anglers who fish baitcasters fish with braid. I knew I wanted a very light line, because the Tenryu rods are rated for 4 or 5 lb lines. Very light braid is very expensive, but the Sunline Small Game PE-HG had very good reviews. I bought some and loved it.
I have came to believe a light braid really is the best choice for BFS. Nylon or fluorocarbon lines are perverse. It seems they want to jump off the spool, and will blow up into a bird's nest given half a chance. Given the same half a chance, braid seems to want to stay on the spool. I am now sold on braid.
The color is bright pink but it will fade with use.
