I was eating my lunch in my eskimo yesterday during the down time at my fishing spot, all of a sudden I heard a BLOOP, looked over and my bobber was gone…Set the hook and the fight was on, got what looked to be a 8-10lb northern to the hole 3 times and then he took one last run and snapped my line …I replaced every reel with shimanos except one and guess what rod he hit of course the crappy reel lol…lesson learned there is now a shimano on that rod too..
