Newbie question: Fishing with 8 lb test. So anything large will snap the line then?? Might end up joining something much more than bass.

  It's all in your drag! You can land a huge fish on 4lb test if your drag is set accordingly. As long as they can take line before it breaks, you can land them. ...more May take a little longer, but it CAN be done..... see my post of Musky from last year!

  Yea I have 8lb test on for bass, and you can go 30 lb braid with a leader and it the same diameter what are you after catfish carp

  Not necessarily. You can bring in pretty large fish with 8lb test. The bigger concern is a fish with sharp teeth biting through the line.
