1oz = 10lb Line...always best on the safe side!...5oz = 50lb line + 10 = 60lb line that should do it...prefer soft lines with good knot strength... :wink:

use a tapered leader and you wont drag weed in on your line as the knot onto your running line is very small,"two uni knots",so if you have to lift a fish up rocks you can wind the leader onto your reel without weed jamming in your tip ring,they go from 16 or 18lb and 60lb or 70lb at the tip.
the small knot does not catch on the rings when you cast with a multiplier or fixed spool reel,varivas from veals are a good leader, hope this helps,
