I fish em all Eddie.I have to show a pic of my buddies leg when he slid down along side a rock with shorts on.I've done the same thing,leg blows up an u use gallons of peroxide to keep it kleen.The kinda rocks u put ur hand on an don't slide it at all an u still get cut.Then there are pilings,steel bridge abutments.icebreakers,bulkheads,the whole nine yds.u just gotta lighten up when u feel the pressure or it's over Johnnee.I also change my fireline like most people change mono.i like it new an fresh.it's really tough when new it will break 50lb leader when new 2 days later it won't.whats that tell ya.when it gets grey i thro it away.This spring I changed or flipped it 2 0r 3 times..I usually put on around 250 yds an flip it then toss it.I don't wait for it to fail.i buy it in 1000 yd spools i will use At least one per yr.>Ya it's probably overkill.I don't like taking chances.
