Harrible, I hear where your coming from. I've pulled 30 lb fish off the bottom of the ditch with this hardware and not broken off so I guess I'm just used to what I got going for me and fear being broken off with the lighter stuff.
Saltheart, I like the idea behind using a shock leader and have definately done so but prefer to have some hardware. It's easier to change and twists less.... I use 50 lb spectron as well. Thats why a 40 lb snap makes me a little more nervous....
