I guess we have all seen it....the Ray Mears type survival expert advising people to pack a bit of line and a fishing hook into your survival kit.
Whenever i see this the angler in me can't help but think "just one?" ...and then i start wondering what line and hook it should be. I dont want a bit of line too weak or i will snap it too easily, but not too thick either else i might not catch any fish. Same for the hook, not too big, not too small.
Go on then, if your limited to just one breaking strain and one size hook to try and cover any situation you might find yourself in following that unforseen plane crash, what would it be?
...& for the record, i've settled on size 6 hook and 8lb line
