I have Twitch Master in the 3lb variety and it doesn't hold these big fish nearly as well as SOS 2LB mono line. We caught 4 redear last year over 2lbs with the biggest 2.5lbs. The 2lb SOS will absolutely land these fish. I also recently bought 2lb Ande line and so far am impressed!
Very simple answer to that. SOS breaks at 4 pounds and has the most stretch of any nylon line Ive ever used. Twitch Master in 4# breaks at 4 pounds yet has smaller diameter than SOS 2#. I will be fishing for bedding shell cracker come April out here at both Lake Poinsett and Bald Knob. Im not sure just how big the shell cracker are in Lake Poinsett but I know that Bald Knob has produced some 2 pounders plus. For that reason I will have a rod spooled up with 4# test Twitch Master in case I run into a bed with the big boys on it.
