Yah, I'm sick of losing lures every time I go out on 4lb or 6lb floro. The 4lb ties strong knots but breaks on snags because it's only 4lb. The 6lb is stronger but has weaker knots, for some reason, and so the knots break on snags.
Then the 8lb doesn't cast as free or far, so I don't like that.
So I've went with 10lb braid (4lb mono diam), for castability, and strength, and 6 foot of 8lb floro leader, which ties great knots and very strong, and is also still pretty thin and should still be invisible to the trout.
But I have yet to test the setup out...stupid winter!
