beefy, we where not using wire, just a short bite tippet made of 20kg mono, its quite thick so it can take quite a beating.
what myself and denton forgot to mention was that that rod was a virgin, this was its first fishing trip with it, he still had the plastic on the cork. So it wasn't damaged beforehand.
well he isn't to worried, he is just glad it broke on a fish.

That is the trouble with that part of the world!!Originally Posted by deewy
Great pics of the snoek, thanks. I seriously thought for a nano-second when I saw the photo of the front bit of the snapped rod being hauled up, 'Gee, that is a SERIOUS piece of lead core line'! As you say bust on a fish, not so bad if it has to get bust!

What ever you do never confuse Fishing With catching Fish !!!!
Fish Are Friends Not Food
But your reasoning has a fatal flaw; it overlooks the fact that to comprehend it requires that one rub a few brain cells against each other. The heat thus generated produces the light that illuminates the fact, but alas, not everybody has the resource required to fuel the process --SG

With a snoek that size it's teeth would mean you only have one arm left to hold it with!
