Here's the craic, I have been broken twice on 12lb line. I was mostly catching 5lb fish on a day and never thought, but a fish broke me, Granted I wasn't playing him. Because fish up to 5lb you can just let them dive without giving them line, as long as you are not pulling at the same time, your grand.
But if you give a pollock too much line, you will be stuck on the bottom.
Choice is yours, bully the big one into shore with heavy line or.......
