You're having trouble with 50# PP and a 40# flouro leader? Wow what kind of moby bass are you hooking into! Though I don't see how it'd really hurt upgrading the PP (since it's so damn thin), is that really a problem? I would guess that most of your breakages are in the leader section? My suggestion would be to go fishing with several premade leaders in your pocket. Your leader gets beat up, a quick snip and tie 1 knot and you are back in action. I know that some of the rocky places I fish, landing a bass can quickly shred your line. I use 50# PP and 50# mono leaders. Sometimes I have brought in fish and wondered how the heck the leader even held.

Lookin for my big'un!
