Personally I like running 30 lb tuff line as my mainline for 3 main reasons 1. it floats or somewhat floats. 2. there is no stretch so I can let my float drift a lloooonngg ways and still get a good hook set and 3. If I do hang up I usually get my float back with the heavier line. The down falls of using this as mainline is that with no stretch you MUST set a light drag since the leader takes all the abuse. Good luck.
