      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.

          Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    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….

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