maybe so that a 6X will end up the same but your assumption on the drag is incorrect as I had my drag set lighter than I do in the canal. And besides, the hook bent inwards not out. A 20 pounder did this, I landed the fish and the slightly bent part of the hook was buried in the roof of the bass's top lip. It took me in and around every rock it could, my fireline and 52 lb flouro learder held up fine. Drag on the Saltiga is smooth as butter.

It was the rear treble that bent.

yep, that's what we figured.
I use a single siwash on the back of many of my plugs but the howdy's I make have to have a treble in back in order to get the action I want from them.
I didn't catch lots of fish, maybe I should have tried more in the daytime than I did at night. I got 8 fish, only one was caught at night, a 30" fish. Mostly 26" to 28" or so fish, the best was the 20 lbder, I did get some small rats too but they don't count. If you want some excercise, go to Cutty, me, I'd rather jig the canal
