IMHO nope no way
Catana was only available to 15lb .35mm broke over 20lb in the TB line tests
the 12lb .33 tested broke at over 18lb both lines cast really will sink fast too
and if as it certainly looks like Bulletproof is the same line but TIME will tell I now personally know 3 ex catana users that are all saying its the same line and at least one forum member post 19

For the ranges you stated( 27/32 wraps) you won't need a shocker with appropriate line.

I regular fish up to 120+ with no shockleader on very weedy waters. Use a minimum of .35 up to .40 line. It's called level line casting. I'd go for the .39 bulletproof.

You can whack out casts that distance with that diameter line. Just practice smooth casts.

You dont have to take my word for it... watch the Terry Edmonds level mine casting video on YouTube. He does, as do friends of mine put leads 140 yards with no shockleader.

I hope this helps.

So the Bulletproof is also good for casting as well? I'm more or less decided on giving it a try - just need to place an order

Depends. Mostly 4oz tournament distance lead.
Are you sure?
