Wow, this is good stuff!!! 8)
A classic display of the Laws of Physics and the experience of an Old Salt, well - two salts actually... That was very good - both sides of the coin.
On maintaining constant pressure around 80% of the line breaking test, that is all well and good but two things come to mind; How many people really maintain good, low or no damage line on their reels? and have any of you actually tested how many pounds of pressure is applied by the rod on the fish? Say if you set 10#s of drag on your 20# test line, now you do that right on your drag but has anyone worked out a WAG on the amount of pressure applied at the hook on your typical sturdy surfrod??
This is a very enlightning thread... good work guys...
As far as the hooks go - go with the cheap Mustads and SHARPEN them, They are cheap, $10 for 100 count and as everyone knows, they'll rust out pretty quick. But they are cut from ultra-dull equipment }>
