So I recently caught my first fish, an Atlantic Mackerel! However, I am also concerned that my 6 lb monofillament line is not up to repeated use for mackeral fishing alongside my 3/4 oz lure. Am I worrying over nothing or do I actually risk my line snapping.

Also, while I’m at it, my fishing rod is a Eagle Claw Pack It Pro, a medium-light power telescopic rod. Annoyingly, the max lure weight is not listed online or on the rod, so should I be worried about long term damage from using said 3/4 oz lure?
It is only a matter of time before you send that heavy lure in to the horizon with 6lb mono. Same with the rod. I would get a lighter spoon. Probably around 1/4 oz.
