Super User burleytog Posted July 2, 2007 Super User Posted July 2, 2007 or perhaps PLine CXX is stronger... 5/0 Gamakatsu superline hook. 17 lb. PLine CXX. Stump in 20' of water. After much pulling, this is what happened. Quote
mattm Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Thats pretty impressive. I have more faith in my equipment now. I fish 3/0 and 4/0 Gammy's with 15lb CXX. Quote
ILfisherman Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I'm surprised you didn't pull up the stump complete w/ roots! Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted July 2, 2007 Super User Posted July 2, 2007 CXX must be pretty impressive stuff. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 2, 2007 Super User Posted July 2, 2007 CXX is not called extra extra strong for nuthin ', it really is extra extra strong, pulled a 30 lb log with 12 lb test and the line didn 't even sweat it, uprooted huisache brush with it also, and for those who don 't know what huizache is just let me tell you, you don 't mess with that stuff .... it uses line as dental floss. Huisache, very very tough and nasty: Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 ruined that hook been there done that. Thats what cxx will do for ya almost always get your lure back. Make sure you cut about 5-10 ft of line off before you start fishing it again. CXX is super stong but you probably streached it out and it will start snapping on you if you try that again. Learned that one the hard way. :-/ Quote
rdneckhntr Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 i had 2 hooks do that to me today.....gamakatsu hooks are the only thing i use now... Quote
327 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Gamakatsu are the only worm hooks that I like to use. They are also very sharp! Quote
