I had a fish only 20 lbs on time sub my lure right in the curl of the last wave on the other side of o rock.I loosened my drag an fought the fish the whole time with the line rapped around the rock.At the very last minute i was able to get the line free an beach the fish.I remember this for 2 reasons one the obvious an 2 when I slid the fish up on the beach an dropped the rod the plug ploinked right out of him.
Now it was only 20lbs not 40 some say that size fight better.this one had some spunk.No fishing line is rock proof.U just put minimal pressure wit ur hand on some barnacles an u can get bloody.There has to have been 20 different braids introduced since I been usin fireline.Its still the only line for me.
