Catfish hooklengths ?

I have been using 45lb quicksilver as a hooklength for cats but I'm after something better. I'll be fishing for them in France and over here and in both cases fish are possible up to 50+ so I want something I can rely on - any suggestions ?

 

Thanks,

Rob, before I post a reply I'd like to ask have you found any problems with Quicksilver? Do you get bite offs with it?

Steve,

Not any bite off's but it is not as tough as it is made out to be. In the ebro it took a lot of knocking and was quite chaffed. I was also suprised how easy it to to cut through with a blade/scissors. It is also very prone to twisting up im flowing water.

 

I'm going to have a look at 80lb fireline (in the local shop) and see what I think of it.
