2# wil break if ya look at it wrong.
Years ago I tried to fish 2# to break a couple flared channel and blue catfish world records. The 2# tippet would break with no drag if the fish ran in a curve, with no drag. The weight of the fly line pulling sideways would break the 2# tippet. I finally used a short 15 foot fly line(shooting head) and landed some good fish. I got the idea from some salt water fly fishermen that were targeting tuna/marlin on 16# tippets that were having the same problems. I think I still hold those records with IGFA.
