Line and Presentation?

Watch it thinking again. 

If you have 6# Test Line. 6# is that when it will break or stretch?

I usually fish the bottom but if a person uses a float it should put the bait in their face so should get more bites.

I know some fish just naturally feed on the bottom.

If a good knot is tied then 6# of pressure will not break it, but it will over-stretch it beyond its ability to recover. It will likely break (after being stretched) at somewhere between 7-8#  if the knot doesn't fail first.

Line/hook shy fish don't go by those rules.   A suspended bait makes the hook and line far more visible to the fish.     When laying on the bottom the hook and line are more camouflaged.

While I'm here. 

I'm wanting mostly eating fish so I'm like most going overkill on my line.

Using 30# on my Reels.  5 pounds is a pretty big fish. 

Seems 6# test is pretty good all around.
