so do you think 30lb power pro is sufficient for heavy weeds, underwater timber, stumps, etc? We have a alot of nasty underwater debris, just trying to make sure that i dont under-do it and wind up with a busted line when I hook into the "Big Felluh"

Yes I do...all of my big fish break offs have been on setting the hook.Once she's on..I'm good to go..Then it's using the rod and drag..and on a baitcastermy thumb..HOWEVER..if I don't use a PALOMAR knot..for some reason it snaps like 8 pound mono..
