The thing about slack... these fish were caught on hand held rods or rods in a rod holder on a boat. They didn't run any longer than it takes to pick up the rod and engage the drag. They were typically gami's so maybe there is something to that. I think gut hooked would be better described as deep hooked. Not really in the gut, but not in the lip either. I have fished circles on and off for more than 10 years from shore and can't think of one time I had a fish deep hooked. The difference may very well be that the time it take to get the rod is long enough in clicker-controlled free spool for it to be an issue. When I use them in the surf, I have the drag engaged.
