Where it falls short

The checks the Surflon Micro Supreme Wire trips that the free solve for the same pair does not, by how many builds each one fires in. The quoted line is the engine's own message from the first build it fired in.

Leader heavier than the mainlinewarn in 14 builds
Rainbow Trout, Farm Pond: 26 lb leader on 4 lb mainline. Now the mainline is the fuse, which means a snag costs you the leader, the terminal tackle, and however much mainline was past the break. The leader is also thick enough to be visible and to stiffen your bait's action.
Past 2x the mainline test the mainline becomes the fuse, and a snag costs the whole terminal end. The engine warns.
