I recently had a shortage of 25lb triple fish, so my buddy had some 30 laying around, we spooled it up and on saturday I got 12 lb largemouth using a 10in stocker trout! It is a little thicker than the 25 and I agree with rob about the memory issue. But you can pretty much take breaking off a fish out of the equation. For sure the this will help with the bigger baits, but I don't have much experience with them. Triple Fish is the only line I will fish! If you're having trouble casting of baits or fishing in thick cover it will surely help.
