It's all technique and when was the last time you saw an 11' tuna rod, infact my rods couldn't possibly apply the pressure that the line can withstand. I also have never broken a rod because there is more to the use of a rod than just pulling as hard as you can, there is a feel for what the rod is doing (it's hard to put into words).
Have you ever lost a plug because of a wind knot or birds nest? I don't anymore
Have you ever lost a fish that when you think about it a longer leader might have prevented the loss? I don't anymore
Just because my line is used for tuna doesn't mean it's just for tuna.
Fly fishermen say they care and I'm sure they do, but a 50-60 pound fish with a stainless steel hook in it's jaw might think otherwise, even with a brain slightly smaller than mine.
