You can land a 20-30lb fish on 20lb line
You can land 50lb fish on 20lb line
Look up a few IGAF Records,H U G E fish are landed on single digit line weights
Yes Sir,it is about the one holding the rod,that braid,this braid,that mono,this mono is nothing but(for the most part) skill compensation.
Your gear must accommodate the conditions,heavy cover and open waters are very much different.
Species has very little to do with it
Whatever your line weight its good to double your leader weight
If your good you can land a fish on 6 pound line use the drag ok it may take a long time to get the fish but it can be done I hate this 20 lb line plus stuff. Oh I use 20 the pomd stiff Bot I want A brush pile lof
Let the rod/reel handle the load and you handle the patience to get'em reeled in

So what weight braid line is comparable to the 10-12 pound mono that is recommended on my spinning reel?
