I've been nothing less then abused by the breachways and the fish in them when using 50# braid, especially on rough nights. On a conventional, I wouldn't think twice about packing 65# Power Pro on there if not 80#. 60# mono for your leader if not 80#. Plug rock is not your friend. Expect to lose fish if you go too light.

Because of that, just keep in mind that a calcutta 400 really doesn't hold that much line. A Calcutta 700 is closer to a Abu 7000 series.
