Hmmm... what do you set your drag at?

I've landed multiple 40 inch fish on a single mambo and never had the rear treble pull - granted I have had to bend back or replace the hooks on that plug a couple times. I know some people that the back hook pulls out on a lot, and others (like myself) that it's never happened to.

Braided lines, extra strong swivels, 3x hooks, heavy drag... eventually, something has to give.
