I’m with you on playing them out. I’ve had to hold the spool to keep some of the largemouth and tilapia from getting back into weeds and brush. Sometimes it works and sometimes it pulls free, but sometimes I get the picture. I use some original blue Stren in 4lb for my leader and it does good for me. Flouro I’ve tried hasn’t done as well and it’s rated 5 lb.
