Well , I fish a lot of steelhead and salmon on 6# test line but the rod reel and line have to be set just right to do so , those fish start at 12 lbs. and run up to 30 lbs .
It depends on your rod you fish with , most have the size of line they are built for listed on the rod blank for best casting performance . Lure weights should be listed as well on the blank , try to stay as close as possible to those guidelines and you will have a maximum preforming rod .
Next make shure your reel will take that size line . Some reels will only handle spacific line diameters , oversized lines will perform poorley and undersized lines will recive damage . If you don't have the papers for the reel the info can easily be found by using the Google link on our site to find the reels manufacturing website .
What model stick are you using and what kind of reel ?
I'll see what can work out for your set-up .
