Hey, just wondered if anyone has ever suffered from the hook link shearing through the mainline/leader when landing a fish??? If so how did you overcome this?? I haven’t suffered from this myself yet (probably because I haven’t used the set-up over a prolonged period and have a tendency to tie up new rigs on a regular basis) but I have heard others have?? (I noticed some damage to my leader last session as I was packing up so I need to check that later, but midway up the leader, possibly caused by some kind of underwater obstacle). Because of this I’m thinking of dropping down slightly from 25-26lb to 23lb for my fluro leaders as I think the slight reduction in thickness will aid my casting and concealment. I know it is only a slight difference but I am worried I will suffer a shearing effect more easily from the reduction in diameter????
