the chances of beaking off w/ wire while using umbrellas is very, very slim. at least when it comes to the fish. losing wire is due to snagging bottom, pots, other boat, or any other structure.

so, i guess it's not bad when you fish mono or braid, get spooled or lose 100 yards of line or so, and breakoff? that fish swims around until either the hook dissolves, breaks, or the fish gets the line tangled around structure and dies. i tend to go w/ the latter.

i don't intend to lose an umbrella just like i don't intend to lose 100 yards of line w/ a plug to a fish. it happens. it's part of the game.
