I use 4 to 6# mono or fluoro for trout on ultra light set ups. I've had a quite few break off's from large fish using 4# mono on the bottom rim of the ice. I've switched to 5# fluorocarbon and have never had a break. I use palomar knots for just about everything. All my sets are either ultra light, or medium. I just want to step up my equipment to a medium-heavy level. I'll use my medium set for wallys but I want to hurl heavy bait at jacks. That needs more oomph and more line. I'm going to spool up 14# yo-zuri fluoro as a main line on my 4000 today and test it out on the lake.
