I am with you Riverdog. I used 6 lb fluoro on 20 lb Trout and 10 to 12 lb Carp IN grass. I want the leader to be able to break at some point rather than loose $70+ fly line or a rod.
I think 10 lb P-Line is the heaviest I have ever used.
Whatever works, though.
About the only time I have used a 30 lb was in a butt section of a fly line.
I agree on the line being bad. I used some Vanish Fluorocarbon one trip. 6 lb broke off, so I went 8 lb, still broke off, went to 12, still. Switched to 6 lb P-Line and landed every fish after that with smallest fish being 24".
weird thing is, fluorocarbon is not suppose to have a shelf life so I think, bad batch.
