Mystery Braid: Is 80# Overkill? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I just bought a Torium 20HG at Squidco a few days ago and asked them to fill it with 65# PowerPro.

They recommended 80# because I have the spool volume and they said it's easier to cast. Looks almost the same. I agreed because I wanted the option of long distance casting.

I like the texture of 65# PowerPro. The 80# they filled my spool with is smooth. Maybe it's not PowerPro? Whatever it is, I don't like it as much.
