26" Nebe, long enough for me on spinning gear with a spro swivel.

Like I wrote earlier, I landed the fish that bent the hook. Perhaps the one tine got bent inwards on a rock, who knows, but it may be possible the fish closed it with his mouth

I remember letting off on the pressure as I played the fish around the rocks, as they do bury themselves down in them.
I have had a tug of war with a seal with too much drag pressure(I'm guessing 25 lbs or so) and the hooks did not fail, the 65 lb braid broke, or my palomar knot failed, whatever the case, the mustads on that plug did fine holding the bass the seal was stealing.

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
