What’s the advantage of the 6-8lb braid vs 10lb? Just distance? It seems to me the 10-30lb is as castable as you could want and won’t break which is really the point of braid. At 6-8 you might as well use straight flouro or a flourescent line for hi vis

Heck, I've no use for braid under 20#, and 30# is a more practical limit for me.  If I need less visibility than 8# fluoro diameter...I'll go to...fluoro, hybrid, or mono as a leader. 

 

Braid is not durable, it'll break with even slight abrasion, and unless your hands are calloused like crazy, you can't tie the stuff without digging out a pair of gloves...

Using 10 and 15# yellow.

 

10# regular Power Pro, but my main reels are now

spooled with 15# PP Super Slick 8 (got a great deal

on a 1500 yard spool) which I really like.
