They work, ask Blue Magic about them. He's got a big eye on one. I keep 4 on the boat, pre-rigged in the package.

Pretty work there mark. I helped yank the motor on my buddy's commercial boat today. Looks like I may be stickin a bit with him should we get the problem fixed quickly. When you planning on fishing again?

Wave Paver I have you on video talking on the radio about the Double!! Pretty neat stuff.

I'm as persistent and ornery as they come. Ask Lisa or Braxton. The floor is just more glasswork. Seapro should have through bolted it in the first place. I'll get it fixed soon.

The problem is the rigging on my reels. I should be running 50's with 80 lb. for tuna. That 40lb moimoi mono should not have snapped, it was brand new, and it didn't break at the knot, I had a face first view of it snapping 12 inches from the knot. We had the TLD at 9 lbs at strike, we drag checked it the evening before on a scale. My brother was super PO'd for the rest of the day.

Chris,
Your line might not have just snapped. Many times with a big school of tuna the other fish in the school will hit the line with there tail or attack the spreader bar nicking the line. It has happened to us before. Now we have slowly switched everything over to JB hollow core and have not had that problem... Mark
