When ever I watch, read or hear about smallie fishing it always seems to talk about using line in the 4-10 pound range. Most largemouth fishing seems to be 10-20 pound, except for pitching and flipping.

In a lot of places except for down south, the smallies can be every bit as big as the largies and they fight as hard if not harder, so why the light line?
