barramundi question

wondering what lb braid guys use for chasing barra
have searched online and the result is extremely varied from 10lb to 60lb.
i was kinda thinking something around 20lb would be sporting but maybe not if im gonna get bricked constantly???

barra
depending on what outfit your running? live baiting for trolling? what kind of terrain you fishing?
i used to run 20lb on my heavier outfits for BIG livies or hectic terrain and 14lb braid when i wanted to fish in comfort and style with the lighter outfit.. lost alot more barra tho
4kg mono was always a blast aswell but many a metery made a mockery and i lost plenty of terminal tackle that way aswell!
