Can you have too much test?

I dont use 40lb braid for strength, I use it for thicker line. Its just easier to deal with, tie, and not as much like piano wire cheese cutter.

I agree with AYC, it's easier to deal with while still being very thin. I use 30lb though.

If you're using a cork and a spoon, you should have no problem feeling fish on the line, regardless. But I don't believe that it's harder with heavier line.

You can break the pole before popping the line. It happened to me with 30lb braid on a falcon rod.

15lb braid is all you need for inshore.

^ And plenty thin to give you razor-like cuts when you have wet hands. 20# braid is the lowest I would use inshore. Add 20# Fluor leader and you're set.

Funny, I was untangling my buddies braid while line was out. Red fish hit his live mullet on the bottom and sliced one of my digits with surgical precision.

Depends on if you are a male or a female. Elevated testosterone effects the sexes very differently

Not gonna lie, thought I was opening a thread that related to you asking the OB if you can have to much testosterone
