        I got totally wasted by a large fish yesterday.  My 200lb breaking strain leader parted at the knot next to the lure when I was having to give it maximum pressure to stop it reefing me.  I ended up hitting the deck with some force (and it has to be said, not a lot of style).  I was damaged in a couple of places.  The local solution to the misplaced muscles….. 🙂

          I could start an entire forum based on jokes about that tube of Gel.

          Are you gonna use it?

          Maybe so. Maybe not

            apparently you need a prescription and then register yourself as a horse to use that.

                                      I do not crimp for this type of fishing.
                                      I don't use Yo-Zuri for this type of fishing, though do I use their disappearing pink fluorocarbon for constructing salt water fly leaders….

                                        But it did have a cracking curry "restaurant", which some of my mates and some of the fishing crew lunched at today….

                                            I think it helped.  But I took some pain relief and also a knee brace, so not sure what actually did most help
