Just my opinion take it for what it's worth...squat. I just find it somewhat hypocritical and was just bringing it to peoples attention that perhaps they aren't has concerned as they want others to believe. Call it tuna gear if you want but at least I know when I have a wind knot stop the line suddenly my plug will still be there, ad if a large fish does what they usually do they will have less chance of parting my line by rubbing it against structure. I feel the benefits out weigh the loss of distance and sink rate. I have been fishing long enough that I no longer get a thrill from the fight has much and look at it has more of a business type event that just happens to be fun/enjoyable. I have lost plenty of fish to lighter line and weaker rods and don't enjoy being beat by a fish with the brain the size of a pea. I equip myself for the challenge not the sport of catching. I have also spent many years has a mate and spent enough time fishing for the challenge, I want results when I invest my time. At least you'll know when I'm up current from you and hook a fish it wont take long for me to get my fish clear of you, and without drowning it because I can't apply enough pressure.
