[quote] my reel spooled with #40 red PowerPro braid. I want a set-up that will literaly slow/stop my canoe if I hang up. I'm using this in conjuction with those ultra-thin titanium leaders KF sent me and I made myself.

I don't really understand why you would want to stop your canoe's momentum with a fishing rod and line. When snagged, let your drag keep you from breaking off until you can grab the reel and open the bail. Using line much over 10lb test really is overkill.
