Kil? Dan? anyone?
Daiwa PE5 or OTI 60#, which is thinner?
Trying to max out yardage on an SX Raptor. Which will give me more line?
As a sidenote, is the Daiwa Boat braid the same as their Samuri line, but colored?? I've been using the Samuri 20# on my inshore baitcaster and I've been very impressed with strenght, limpness, and diameter.

i dont have the diawia to measure.
the OTI i have.
i would think the diawia is a little thinner because its a PE5.
but not 100% sure.

I believe PE 5 is 0.37mm.
I was told that the following is the PE to mm conversions:
PE No..mm
0.6...0.128
0.8...0.148
1.0...0.165
1.2...0.185
1.5...0.205
1.7...0.218
2.0...0.235
2.5...0.260
3.0...0.285
3.5...0.310
4.0...0.330
5.0...0.370
6.0...0.405
7.0...0.435
8.0...0.470
10.0...0.520
12.0...0.570
14.0...0.620
16.0...0.660
18.0...0.700
20.0...0.740
22.0...0.780
24.0...0.810
28.0...0.870
The Daiwa Saltiga Boat Braid and Samurai Braid are hands down the best braids you can buy IMO. I don't know what the difference is between the Samurai and boat other than the color. The Boat braid feels like it has a little bit less coating but it seems slightly stiffer to me.

The Daiwa does feel incredible but have you guys felt the oti line?

works great.

One nice thing about the OTI is the fact its not marked with metrics!!
I was hoping Kil would hop in on this....he still down in Hatt?
