I agree with Ravyak, no need for the super small diameter braided lines. Not much point in using 8 lb braid (1lb diameter) when you are going to tie a 6 lb flouro leader on IMO.

I use a 6lbs braid on my jigging rods most of the time with a 6lbs fluoro or mono leader. The reason I go so light on my jigging rods is because I pitch very small jigs and with a heavier braid you can't cast nearly as far with those tiny jigs.
Once and awhile I go with a 4lbs braid if I really down size to little ice fishing sized jig heads. It all depends on the fishing situation.
The same weight fluoro or mono will break way before the braid ever will. To avoid break offs I just keep a close eye on my drag and make sure it is set properly. I rarely have get a break off unless I hook into a pike while I am out chasing walleyes and the only reason they break me off is because of their teeth.
