He was using something like Pline xx beacause the line manufactures are getting a bit how shall we say “creative” on some line ratings and if it said 6# it may well have been 12-17 #. see the example from another board.

Turners in San Bernardino has a chart for Pline cxx.
test------breaks
10--------21
12--------24
15--------27
20--------33
25--------35
30--------46
40--------51
50--------74
60--------92

The only problem is that you can overload the rod and reel real quick with these super lines and start breaking gear if you’re not careful
