Sharpen your hooks maybe?? Are you tying your own leaders? Maybe the knot isnt to good.

what kind of hooks you using? If you dont go to often, sometimes its best to just go out and buy the best you can. one guy i know buys only gami's for salmon unless hes constantly going. in that case he just buys the laser sharpened eagles. He told me not to use the eagles though untill i get better, mostly cause he can play the fish MUCH better, and could probably use a wood hook and land a 15 pound fish if he needed to.

The three main things Id check though are your line (for frays, knots, etc.), knots, and hooks.
