Today my new line arrived, I have ordered it to improve my casting distance on my BFS combo.
I use this setup mainly to fish for trout in ponds with medium or high fishing pressure and medium to low visibility.
Now my question is since this is only 0,08mm braid in a low vis color, do I still need a flouro leader to avoid scaring fish?
I don’t want to unnecessarily loose casting distance because of a thicker 5lb flouro leader.
The line is also rated very good on abrasion resistance so the only important factor for me is the visibility in the water.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences regarding this line.

Go with 3 or 4ft of a 2lb or 4lb floro leader. Trout have great vision, so anything to decrease the chances of spooking them will only help you.
Always use a mono or fluoro leader that’s less poundage than my braid. That way snags or unexpected big catfish or something doesn’t steal my more expensive braid.
Floro or mono much easier to handle and I’d recommend it. The braid can cut you nasty if you’re not careful.
