well I have only had mine for little more than a year I haven't used the lighter one that much I have caught a few green R. fish on it but the bigger one has been in downriggers at sekiu to maney silvers to count used it on a tribal river with K-15s and caught a bunch of good size kings the biggest being 33# if I ever break one on a fish I'll probably change my mind
