Mini Jig setup

I’ve had my mini jig setup for awhile and it’s been very successful. It’s an 8ft Okuma Guide Select pro with Ultra light action, a shimano Sahara 1000 reel, and what I believe the butter of the whole setup is Phenix 3lb braided line which seems like it doesn’t exist anymore. Before using that line it felt like I was not able to cast out mini tube jigs very far until I landed on this setup. Anyone have any line alternatives they suggest or am I doing something wrong and mini tube jigs don’t require such light line to be able to cast it out so far?
