I've been using this year to really experiment with different techniques and methods. One I've tried with success was to use fluoro (instead of straight braid) on a spinning reel for ultra-finesse applications. I had tried Sniper prior and had terrible results, even with KVD L&L, so I went with Tatsu and everything has been excellent since. So when I decided to try fluoro on one of my casting rigs I didn't skimp and went straight to Tatsu, applied L&L, and so far it's doing incredible. 

 

I wondered though, I still get the feeling that there's more line memory than I'm used to obviously with braid, and while that's a problem on spinning reels, how concerned do I need to be with it on a casting reel? Will it cause line lay issues or parts that aren't laying tightly? Am I making a problem out of something I shouldn't?

I too went from a lot of braid on BC to some Tatsu in ints place.

I think training your thumb is the biggest issue.

To get use to it, I turned on 1 more break and threw heavier baits to start.

In a short time I went back to my original settings, but it helped the transition.

Without a little memory on either, you're going to have bigger issues.  The big advantage I see with Tasu/L&L is I don't get the tight coils like I do with lines CXX, Trilene XL/XT, or Big Game, if the reel sits unused for a few weeks.  Of course, if you get the line wet, and stretch it on a couple nice fish, problem goes away.
