Something New
 

I've had just about everything you can imagine fail on fish but this is a new one to me.

musta been a big fish?

yikes...

50lb or 80lb version?

Yup

Was it a brand new clip or had you used the same one through various outings?

WOW!!! how long did it hold up.

That's a first for me.

nothing really to scale it to but looks like an 80#. maybe an old breakaway clip. good to know.

80lb clip only been used a little over 1 night.

They don't call 'em rockfish for nothin'

Now I have broken 20# Fireline at the Palomar that ties it to the 75# swivel tied with 60# orvis mirage to a spinlink on a jig when I snagged it. What did you have it tied to?
sorry about the run on and on sentence

Was it a real breakaway? I've heard there are some not so good knock-offs out there. Sorry for your loss.:shocked:

Definitely a real breakaway.

I'd guess either a bad batch of steel. No way an 80lber should bend like that.

It looks like the plug or lure ran up on the clip or the fish did a good number on it by twisting it. The only other I saw twisted like that one was used backwards. Bummer..:crying:

CLEARLY,

it wasn't used bassackwards,

and that was ONE big momma to do that kinda
sheer on a clip of that load capacity,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

sorry for yer loss, me bruddah!!

if i know you, though, you'll land her sister just in time
for the tourney............since we ARE posing questions ~~

just what did you have attached to the end of the clip, Dan tha Man??

Hey... is that one of those new Bendaway clips??
