 The Nasci is a great little

 The Nasci is a great little reel. I've been using the 2500 loaded with 8lb braid for the last year or so. From flicking lures at trout in streams to tailor over reef to snapper from a boat & yes, squidding to, it's taken it all in it's stride & is still as smooth as the day I bought it. Can't comment on J-braid as I've never used it but 8lb would be fine for squid. I actually really like 8lb braid (I run fireline smoke) for squidding as it gives you enough grunt to pull a jig & bend the prongs straight if it gets caught up on a rock or whatever.
