Has got me thinking. But I have been doing it lately too. With a few hard hits but can't stop them near the rocks.

Thats what I've been getting
Thats what I've been getting too mate. Like I went from Bream gear and stepped to 6kg and got nothing. So went back to the Bream and then hits left right and centre. But I'm thinking mine are XOS Silver Bream.
Can't find the sambo's south of the river, might give it a crack north soon.

Yeah its funny if you go any
Yeah its funny if you go any heavier than 20lb fluorocarbon you get nothing, 20lb should be heaps but theres abviously something sharper around that gets them free, it usally happens that quick your left with ya pants down.
