I use 40 # floro from the surf, 50 from the boat. and feel it for nicks with each fish. I will cut and re-tie as necessary. (I use a snap)
I have some wire leaders for when the action is hot and heavy and the fish will bite anything that hits the water...but IMO floro works best when there is no blitz on.
On charter boats they use 100# test mono and it is a rare event when they bite thru that.
Here is what one blue did to a scup while my wife was reeling it in, you would be hard pressed to do that with a fillet knife no less your teeth!
