^^^ this
i run 4# vanish. no difference that i can tell in amount of hits and so much less frustration than any 2# line.

the knot you use matters even more than the line. here's a sample chart with terminal knots but you get the idea. with the wrong knot you can lose more than 50% line strength right off the bat.


with any knot though, the resulting strength is going to be less than the line strength. so tie as few knots as possible, i.e. just spool with 4# fluoro.
