last season i only lost one good fish that haunted me. There was nothing that i could have done to stop it. The fish dashed right into a patch of jagged rock outcroppings, so i cupped my spool to at least stop it from going any further. The result was a straightened 4/0 VMC and a straightened 6/0 siwash. The season before i lost way too many fish due to user error.. I learned from my mistake and it payed in spades this year. later on in the fall it happened agian, but it was from a gator boo... who cares when you loose a bloo 
I'll share what i learned- always go armed for bear.. 6o lb braid, 50 lb or even 60 lb flouro leaders, and for chripes sakes, tripple check your knots. Change your leader every trip and trim back your main line about a foot or so every 3rd trip..... no problems mon  |

heres another tip- if you borrow a leader from a friend, make sure you ask what pound test it is   |

Anyone ever have a fish you can't turn and whack the rod butt with your palm to stop it?What about when a big fish beds down in the kelp and you KNOW your gonna break it off.Did you ever take the line off the roller to make the fish think it's free?

Done both.Freespool done a lot with fish in trouble. "Plinking or twanging" line also moves fish that are stuck sometime or to get them to change direction.
