We all play fish differently. I try to get them in as fast as I can as the longer they're on the end, the more chance I'll cock something up and lose them.
I think these figures of how much pressure this rod or that line enables you to apply is pretty subjective, ie Budgie looks a slighly (!) beefier bloke than me, so I assume he can give a fish a bit more stick whatever rod he's got in his hand.
Does any ofus really look at it his way in practice..? Well lads, I may b fortunate enough to hook a doubl or even a 20 today, which may require a dirct pull of 12lbs to stop it, so I'd better use at least 18lbs line llowing for wet BS, tying a trace knot etc..?
Of course we don't. You get attuned to the rods, reels, line etc you use and learn - sometimes through bitter experience - what they can and can't do.
I'm sure this is h same whatever you fish for, the point of braids is while they aren't the magic ingredient, thy're certainly far better for most applications than mono reel lines, because a fish shouldn't break 50 or 60lbs line unless something goes badly wrong or you goof a knot or something.
Interestingly enough, I reckon I broke off on two or three fish a season when I used mono, with braid it's been twice in five years. That alone's reason enough for me, notwithstanding the fact it floats, near-zero stretch, lasts forever etc.
