Broken lami custom rod

[Rob Rockcrawler]

Im tempted to spool up with mono again for a few outing just to see how i like it. Its been forever since ive used the stuff. I think my hook up ration would drop but when i did manage to hook up i think i would land more fish. Lots of pulled hooks, especially with plugs in moving water. On the same train of thought with broken rods and braid, i know there is a correlation to bent hooks and braid. I think those tinned mustads that came on so many plugs would be fine using mono. Add braid to the equation and anything over about 32" is bending the hell out of em.

if your drag is set correctly, letting the fish take line and reducing the stress on the rod, wouldnt it solve the issue? Its simply more pressure on the rod thats making it break, no? sure mono has more stretch reducing the stress on the rod compared to braid during the same drag setting. maybe just adjust for it....

fyi i snapped a st criox last summer on a jetty candy caning a 25#, lol
