well...thats it...the vanish is gone....thought i got the bugs worked out...

today i had a 12-14" trout bust me off at the shore...hmmm

then....hooked into the only golden rainbow of my life...20+" fish...drag was perfect...started screaming...then it went limp...clean break....i still want to cry....

its garbage...i had the same problems a couple years ago with it...certain points just break really easily....its pathetic...and im pretty upset...it wasnt my fault for a change...i will admit when i horse a fish or dont get a good hookset...but this time i set the hook perfect...he took a run and i held on and kept the rod up...drag was set perfect...line stil snapped....

That's too bad Mauser, I remember losing a fish during a tournament that I know would have won me a new boat, motor, and a ton of other gear. My lost fish was due to a problem with a brand spankin new reel though (try one dozen casts new reel [&:], haven't used it since either [:'(]).
