Reality is that if it's get the fish at all costs then your flyline is most likely to fbe the weak link and will be be destroyed if you hook something untamable
If you add a fail to your leader you will at least have a flyline left to try again and get better at catching GTs than us armchair experts

Ps If you need a backup line I have a few retirees that you are welcome to but be warned they are beaten
30 lb is strong enough to subdue 95 % of the inner island fish
What ever you do never confuse Fishing With catching Fish !!!!
Fish Are Friends Not Food
