Sounds like you were throwing eels, which eliminates my guess that maybe the fish was foul hooked. That was my thinking on stiff tip's plug-hooked spooler.

Some fish just don't want to be caught. I've had to resort to the old cup the spool and pray. Used to work better with mono. 250 yards of 20# mono stretches a lot before it snaps.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
