I like the 6 pound when we are casting big jigs for bass besides I like the battle the fish.
I do belileve you landed a 10 pound fish on the 4 pound line. I have landed huge carp and buffalo on 4 pound while crappie fishing. I would guesstimate the biggest being around 50 to 60 pounds. Of course I had to play them for a while and wear them down, but I got some of them in. It is very tough line as long as you do not try to horse them around. The main reason I use 6 is for the most part it does not affect the fish and it makes it where sometimes I can bend my hook instead of breaking it. I am lazy and do not like to re tie.
