Well I know one thing for certain..If u are not winning any battles u have to make a change.
The key is to keep ur head.U have to stay calm so u can figure out what is going on an how to approach ur next move.I prefer to loosen up an wait em out.It's a fine line.Ideally a limp line lets the fish think it is off.U have to watch it (the Line) don't end up in more junk.
U give em too much line they might rap u up then ur basiaclly dead.Sometimes it happens so fast there is nothing u can do.
I went over this in another thread.I like a drag on the loose side. I can always cup the spool.I hate loosening it during the battle.Leaves me in a position where I have no idea of where my drag is set.I also prefer a 11 ft rod.This gets me a higher angle alot of times I can get the line over,around rocks.Plus the long rod gives me plenty of line to bow to the fish when they get near ya for the last ditch effort escape.There are times a good hit will almost pull u off some preacarious perches.Thats another reason for the loose drag.Along with the fact i use braid an the no stretch factor.If I had to fish up there I might go to mono.I been a braid guy so long tho not sure i could do it.
