I think the worse is when you are casting and the bail clicks over then SNAP the plug goes sailing. This never happens with the Penns' ss series.

my 9 year old son had 2 10lb bluefish on an afterhours pencil last week- when i went in the wash to land them the 50 lb. leader broke about 6 inches above the plug. 1 20 dollar plug vs hand-to-hand combat with 20 lbs of pee'd off bluefish on 1 plug wasnt worth it... but watching them swim off attached at the lip was pretty funny.
thinking i'd be mad my son learned about "the cost of doing buisness"

Last year, I threw a Habbs pencil into a pile of rocks and landed it on a seagull. I hooked the bird in it's back and tried reeling it in to take the hook out with with my long de-hooker. Just like a big fish, it went crazy when it saw me and the boat and freaked out. I actually considered getting it close enough to club it to death, but ended up cutting the line. I figured if the Big Guy Upstairs wanted those flying rats on earth, I wasn't going to mess with my fishing karma by killing one. |

Had the same thing with a pelican in FL
and a commorant at night. Thought it was a bat, that was a 20 min fight.
