One thing that you need to check on is the ACTUAL breaking strength of Triline XL at the 2 lb weight. The IGFA determines the line class as the ACTUAL breaking strength of the 5 meters of line immediately before the hook or double line leading to the hook. It would be a shame to work so hard only to find out that your "2 lb" line was actually closer to 4 lb breaking strength. Tests have indicated that the line "weight" of fishing lines is mostly just a reference number rather than an actual indication of its breaking point. For example the biggest difference between Triline XL and Triline XT is that XT has a larger diameter and a higher breaking point in the same line weight. Nearly all monofilament lines have their diameter on the line spool or box.
