Thats good advice because I my problem occurred in a pond for largemouth after fishing the river in the early part of the day for smallies.

Those are safe line strengths. Just keep checking your line and always give a pull test. As the other guys stated, your knots are very important and a pull test will let u know if you tied correctly. Whenever I have a decent fish on, I always play it on the light side with the drag. You can use mono too for certain lures too without noticing much difference (spinnerbaits and buzzbaits etc) but for feel lures, flouro is so much more sensative.
