heh
I would suggest that ur poundage on the 4lb is 4lb. however nylon line the thickness or ur fireline might only be 1.5 lb. who knows. I know my 6lb is the thickness of 2lb mono line. i dont' know about the 4lb. I can tell you though that i tested my 6lb line and it breaks at 9lb according to some fish scales i have. so you do have a fair bit of pulling power there. Lets just hope that the reel can hold up to it.

Hi Brody,

4lb Fireline has the thickness of 1 lb mono and an actual breaking strain of anound 9 lb

Hope this is what your after!

Bluefins pretty much on the money there lads.
The breaking strain is up to 9lb however.
Its not consistently that high, but its always up well over 4lb!

Cheers

Dave
