LeCount.. maybe you've never fished in tight to structure where I fish at drags that EXCEED the pressure I can/have to put on big fish in the surf... in open water, yeah I can let em run, but in a minefield of lobster gear or tight to a rocky shoreline, that bass cant have their head.,... put it this way, my drag is such that a good fish will tow my boat....

In the surf 70+ nights a season (not all with eels) I am fishing 20lb mono, 50-80lb leader and the 7/0 mustads.... never had a prblem there either...
