The boat braid is great, but daiwa make everyone's life a bit tricky because they have more than one product called samurai.
Bizzarely, the product called Daiwa Samurai (green or yellow), despite having a few of the same breaking strains as the DSBB, and diameter, isn't the same product. Case in point, DSBB PE4/55lb breaks at 68lb, but the Samurai breaks at 56lb.
Daiwa also make a product called Samurai AccuDepth, its got slightly different colour markers, its not sold by the PE rating, but the weight ratings and widths are directly equivalent to the DSBB ones. It looks very fine, I think I like it ;)
I haven't bought any of this, nor have I sent it for testing, but if you buy some, can you spare me 3m please?

From what i've read
it's the same line as Daiwa Saltiga Boat Braid just not metered.
There's a few of us that love the Boat Braid so Samurai should be just as good.

Personally can't see myself using anything other than Boat Braid for the time being. Great braid and afforable.

I don't think you're wrong, I
I don't think you're wrong, I just don't know if you're right!
The boat braid is great, you just can't get it in the lighter weights. Samurai AccuDepth comes in 15, 20 & 30lb and annoying little 300m rolls ;)
