65# Spectra W/only 6' of 40#leader should have been fine (I have 60# PP HollowAce spliced to 40# Seaguar fluorocarbon.
Sound like you just ran into a PIG! Hope you enjoyed the sleigh ride he took you on.

Man U broke a phenix?! Guess you pulled harder then those 25# plates they demo and swear there unbreakable. You just got kelp keep the pressure steady and feel for those pops some people let out line sometimes I think that makes it worse as the YT starts spiraling around more kelp and in turn repositions the hook placement and more possibility of the hook popping out

Well, what can I say... I used to play a bit of football (puffing out my chest) and I try to stay in shape by lifting every now and then...

#humblebrag

Really, what I am a bit proud about is that my rod broke before any of my knots failed...

Hmmmmmm... oh boy... got a big decision on my hands now. Drive up to the factory and get a new one on the spot or just send it in and wait however long... sigh...
