Nauset light Beach, late September '03, got a hard hit on a big eel using 50lb braid and 50lb shocker. Headed for England at about 40 knots, so I tightened the drag right down, took me to the backing, slowed dowm, got two turns on the handle and took off again, breaking the line at the shock leader. I'd say seal since there was some in the area, but the way it took 250-300 yards of powerpro off in seconds has me still puzzled... Afterward, I couldn't take the line off the drag by hand since I had it tightened to the max...
