Should leader test be stronger or weaker than the primary line test?

I always thought it was supposed to be weaker than the primary test, but I
just read that it's supposed to be stronger. So now I'm confused.

Any help?

I would say "that depends".....

As in are you fishing bait on the bottom in a rockie area - you might
want a "lighter" test leader, so that you only tear off a minimum
amount of gear (ie the sinker) if you snag.

On the other hand, fishing lures, ie crank baits, spinner baits, etc
for toothie critters like N Pike and Muskie, I would want a
stronger leader than the line.
