The exception is frogs, where heavy braid is the best option
Dont forget that the biggest trout are predators too 9wt What
however, if you have a medium amount of camera gear and plan to upgrade, you'll be set for years to come
according to daiwa itself, the frame on this reel is zaion v the previous model was ds5 graphite in the frame and ds4 graphite in the rotor (i looked it up) so, my concern/question would be wether this new zaion v is as rigid as the regular zaion material found in the tatula lt or the ballistic lt, or if it was at all more rigid than the ds5 graph of the fuego/exceller/prev

Improves lightness and rigidity with reduced size and weight Duracross: Provides the smooth performance of felt with the toughness of Shimano Cross Carbon Drag G-Free Body: Shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, reducing fatigue and enhancing casting comfort Hagane Body: Eliminates body flexing, resulting in better cranking power and efficiency through strength Hagane Gear: The fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability - the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels InfinityLoop: Extends spool oscillation to produce a more even line lay for a beautiful winding shape that results in increased casting performance InfinityXross: Extends the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth more evenly for unequaled gear durability InfinityDrive: New main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation Long Stroke Spool: Longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs, producing a smoother line lay during retrieval and translates into increased casting distance MicroModule Gear II: State-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design that has been analyzed and updated from the ground up to improve the smooth gear feeling and reduce sound One-Piece Bail: Seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm Propulsion Line Management System: Provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming Rigid Support Drag: Allows smooth and consistent drag delivery, even under high load S A-RB: Shielded bearings reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing Water Resistant Drag: With the use of rubber gaskets the drag is sealed against intrusion of the elements such as water and dust X-Protect: High-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation, providing added durability in tough conditions X-Ship: Improved gear durability and elimination of friction between the spool shaft and gear size gear ratio Stock Price & Quantity This product has no fishing reports for these filters
