Thanks for the replies. At least I won't have to buy new gear.

As a beginner, should I use a heavier line then? Maybe 20 - 25#? I had a decent 10#er last night on a squid w/20# mono. I felt confident my line would not break. Watching someone fight a 30#er, made me think about my 5500. Maybe it's just a confidence thing?
