I spent some time with an experienced bass angler, trying to get more hardcore info on how they fish.
On areas with plenty structure, they go up to 25 pound breaking strain, fluoro.
2 reasons
1. if you get stuck on lillies, weeds, palmiet branches etc, you have enough pulling power to get the lure/rapala/cranckbait out/off.
2. if you hook your big fish, there is only one way he is going and that is straight to you. no structure, nothing
Since then, i have increased my breaking strain for the tippet. losing a lot less flies and landing a couple more fish.
