It’s all impressive but 6# test? Wow, that’s impressive.

I thought a “6 lb. test” line means if more than 6 pounds pulls on it, it breaks?

Yea, that immediately caught my eye too. I would say no way but it was verified

That is impressive! I remember years ago when I caught a 10+ pound catfish on an old Zebco 202 with about 2# test-line. It was pretty much a child’s fishing pole but it was the only extra set my hubby had when I expressed an interest in fishing as we were sitting on the bank of his folk’s lake. He had a nicer rig and had been fishing for a while and catching a few fish. I thought to myself that I could do just as well since my dad had taught me to fish on a cane pole while using red wigglers as bait.

I fought that catfish for what seemed like an hour before I finally brought it to the bank. The gears were stripped out of the reel and it was no longer usable by the time I was done. I can’t believe the line didn’t break. I must have been a good fisherman! LOL!
