I have been extremely happy with my change from 50#pp to 40# Samurai. It creates so much less drag in the current in the ditch - was able to hold bottom longer with lighter jigs. I noticed that jigs hit the bottom a lot faster too, which makes it easier to time the drop into the sweet spots...
Seems fine for strength to battle a nice fish but I have noticed that I am not as successful freeing up from snags before you feel the dreaded pop.
