Remember that just the mouths of fish can dull your hooks, nevermind the rocks if that's where you fish.
I agree when your using that plug and it's got moocha mojo your slaying the fish but it's taking a beating between them the rocks etc.. have have your file or hone handy and check for sharpness often.

As to my nightmare, it was using a line that treated me well in some situations and left me cursing and wanting to pull my hair out in others. Knowing I lost another trophy size fish because of my line getting nicked up and breaking during battle. That line was power pro, I switched to 30# Fireline and love this stuff. It performs well and I have all the confidence in the world in it. Doesn't matter what I'm up against as far as location/structure, whatever.
