Phil,
I honestly forgot how hard those BIG ones pull on the initial pull..it's like being hookedto my son's motorcycle pulling away fast in 1 st gear..
I had more bad experiences but to embarrassed to say..Last year I treated my 20 pound Power Pro like 10 pound mono and didn't lose any..
As far as live bait..the tourny rules allow it this year..

and I do plan on getting me a 10 this year..[8D]either with live or artificial..
GOd bless to all and Happy Easter,
Chuck7
