It's a good idea use the lowest possible line weight for better casting, line capacity and presentation of lure. But in practical usage you have to consider the place you're fishing in as well. Fishing spots with lots of cover or structure where fish can quickly dive into requires higher than usual line weight. But if you're just fishing in an open area reservoir for peacock bass, 4-6lbs braided line is optimal.
