I use regular 4 or 6 lb. triline extra tough mono line, or Suffix 4 or 6 lb. and I've not had any trouble, and I've caught a lot of bluegills on Reelfoot, I use to have a place there at the lake.
If they wrap you around a stem, just reach down as far you can and cut the stem and you can get your fish.
If you go to yanking and pulling real hard, you gonna lose you fish and jig and have to retie, it ain't worth all that....not to me anyway
Good Luck.....crappie cowboy
