A few years ago the dash point dock was on fire for kings. Most of the guys were fishing straight braid to a jig. I watched guys horse them in an effort to avoid the seals, only to have the fish start to thrash at the dock, popping out the jig hook. One guy lost at least three ,in an about a 2 hour stretch, all right at the dock. With no stretch, these hot fish were able to rip the hook out at least 50% or more of the time. I was fishing straight mono, 10LB, and while the fight was a little longer, I was not having the same problem.
