Have never used the brands you mentioned, I use amnesia hooklink with dacron for the hair, breaking strain is 7.something kg which equates to around 15 - 16lb, have had a 25.5lb common on this with another 18lb of weed (weighed the weed after returning the fish as there was so much around it I had to see how much that weighed lol) have never had a snap off on the hoolink ever and only 2 snap offs this year both on the mono mainline and both by swans flying through my line coming in to land whilst I had fish on
If you clutch is set right and you're not fishing heavy snags, i'd have every confidence of landing 40's + on my current hooklink
