I tied about 200 leaders with 50lb mono over the winter, then I just spooled up my reel with 40lb powerpro, as I bought a 4500 size reel and wanted to make sure I had enough line on it.

Should I have used a lighter leader, or will 50lb mono break before 40lb braid if I get hung up?

Please advise.
