AHA.. you are experiencing the #1 problem i have with braid- braid has zero flex, so if the fish is thrashing around, the hook will rip out- If i can, i LOOOSEN my drag when this is a problem- Also, i dont know how large your guides are, but use the longest leader you feel comfortable with- I like 15 feet of mono- obviously you cant use a swivel to connect the leader to the main line, so use an Alberto knot or a double albrite. If your guide rings are small, the knot will rattle out of the guides, so as you cast, try to keep an eye on the knot after a few casts and see if its holding up well- sometimes the knot will frey.
