Braided line for quantum telescopic rod

[Aquaneko]

Been using this rod for sometime (couple years and know how to work the drag to not tax the rod bending too much) and absolutely love it. Someone else I know bought it before and somehow broke it/not worked but they must have gotten a lemon or not used to telescopic rods.

Anyways this is the rod I own. http://www.quantumfishing.com/telecast-q...c-fb4.html I think it was spooled with 6# test as it is full capacity on the reel.

On the reel it says the line capacity is YDS/LBS 260/6, 190/8, 130/10

I bought some Power Pro braided a year or two ago when it was on sale at Can.T. I currently have PowerPro 10# test 150yd (2# mono equiv) and 30#test 150yd (8# mono equiv). I don't want to spend anymore or very little money as I like to use what I have already.

Here is a little on how I fish. I sometimes fish close to the shore using the Thrill slip bobber throwing that out as far as I can see where the bobber is clearly but lately I have been using a drop shot rig and throwing it out farther. My reasoning for going with braided is well when throwing the line out far with mono we all know there is that slight stretch that takes about 1second to yank the line if you feel a nibble. As I know, braided line has zero stretch and thus allows for a fast yank. Also my reasoning for going with braided is for the smaller diameter allowing me to cast farther and also have the strength if I tangle into a tree/brush I have a little extra strength to yank the line free. I know I can go with a 2-3 piece 6.6" rod and I have a few spincast fishing rods already (Garcia (pre-Abu) rod, some Shimano rod, bought this Shimano rod a couple years ago https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/shimano-ix4...0188170196 , and also got this Ugly Stick rod http://www.uglystik.com/uglystik-rods-sp...63867.html ) but I am partial to telescopic rods (own 3, Zebco 'just add water' spincast, SouthBend walmart rod with a Daiwa EL...something Graphite reel) because I can pack it compact for bicycling around and the compact convenience to fit into a bag (stealth as well when you don't want family to know you're fishing ).

My question to all is what braided #test line would work for this rod?


Thank you in advance for the help.
