Not trying to criticize anyone's fishing techniques here, so please don't take anything personal..just some advice.
Invest in a decent reel with smooth drag and keep it lose enough to be able to pull it off the reel with your hand. The only time you should ever have a break off is if its intentional due to a snag or because you get spooled and hit the end of the line. 6lb mono is plenty strong enough for any fish in this state unless maybe catfishing or lmb fishing in the sticks.
in the pic, 6 lb mono with no leader...
