You're probably doing all the right things, except for not changing out your split rings. 
Landing big fish reliably is hard! This year has been a reminder of that for me as well...  |

Are you fishing braid? Might be too hard a hookset / drag. Fishing with braid will bend hooks and break hardware as there is no strech to cushion the shock like with mono....

What is the problem?? These are 3 different symptoms of failure. If you had one of those symptoms happen repetitvely, then you would have a big probem.
Bad things happen now and then. learn from them, and you will be the better fisherman. Yoru still in the game...... lookd to me like you have one
strike -(splitrings) and 2 fouls
besides the splitrings, whos to say what you did was wrong???  |

I guess...
maybe it's just the breaks... using braid, drag not set too tight... maybe smart fish.

i feel your pain. had a fish inhale my plug last night and then rip off 40 yards of braid. i felt the first set of trebles pull free and knew i was in trouble. 10 seconds later the line went slack. that was the only hit i had all night. damn crushed barbs |

Yeah, your right. I am going to change out all my magnums to 3/0 VMC's and my darters to 4/0 VMC's they currently have 3/0 Mustads and I've been missing allot of fish. |
