How ultra light do you go, /lure/?
I use 0.005 transparent nylon monofilament, the kind used for sewing. It breaks at around 2-2.5lbs/0.9-1.1kg without a knot of any kind in the line and around 1-1.5lbs/0.45-0.68kg with any kind of knot tied in it. The biggest fish i've caught with it was a 15 inch bass at around 2lbs. I use mostly rooster tails, flies, or live bait with it. It is amazing for casting perfectly, but you really have to play fish or they will break the line instantly. Just fishing for wee small panfish can be really fun with this stuff.
