Daiwa Legalis 1000LT and Eurotackle Ultimate Smoothness 4lb braid

[CTPanfisher]

Went out today for the first time with the Daiwa Legalis. I also tried out 4lb braid for the first time, and casting distance was amazing. Got 8 in total. 4 nice bluegill, 1 smaller one, and 3 small bass.

The good thing is that the reel was also incredibly smooth when retrieving the lure, making it a pleasure to fish a beetle spin with.

What was less good is that when casting, the line would often rub up against the reel and rod, making quite annoying sounds, and possibly impacting casting distance. I'm not sure if this is because the line is so light (0.045 mm, and it floats), If it's an issue with the reel, or a combination of both, so if anyone has had this before, it would be appreciated if you could chime in with advice.
