Hi:

Boy something is really wrong here.........Mustad 93352, and you are having problems bending, wow, you must be using very heavy leaders and line.....need to get real....start having fun instead of being a "meat fishererson", go with light rods and lines and leaders. A 4/0 Mustad will take lot's of pressure....NEVER had any problems with them........

Have a good day!!!!!

"The worse day sport fishing, is still better than better than the best day working!
