it's kinda disappointing seeing so many power guys here. when i was younger i spent 90% of my time large mouth fishing with one rod using 4lb test and my bigger using 6lb. caught a 6plb pickeral on the small one. it almost pulled me in the water. the lose sand under my feet was giving way. no line snap. berkley trilene.. i swore by it. only lost to fish to snap offs. and one might have been a snapping turtle anyway. but i caught some damn decent bass on that 4lb stuff. and it cast like a fine wine. or something.
it's kind of disheartening to see so many guys go with the "over power the fish" style. as opposed to finessing it. stick with that 8lb bro. jsut put a leader on next time.
