A lot of what I base my line pound test rating on isn't necessarily the
size of the fish, it's the cover that I'm fishing. If there are thick
weeds or stumps in the water, I'll go with 8 or 10 pound test minimum. It
doesn't take much to break off a fish with 4-6 lb. test line.

Joe responds---thanks for suggestions-- I guess I was asking about light
lines because as a fly fishing trout man all I snagged were the trees
within my backcast. What are the advantages of mono over braded--and what
is brand name of a good line?
Do you spool your own or have it put on at bait shop?
Thanks Joe
