Ditto on the 30lb braid ... I would swap that for 25 mono for sure, or if you really feel the need to use braid, 65 or 80lb braid. 30lb braid is just frightening x(

The Huddleston definitely gets bit, but I have heard a lot of stories of missed and lost fish, and I don't know why that is... each bait has it's own characteristics that can affect how the fish eat it, so maybe they just go after the Huddleston a certain way that can lead to them not getting hooked, I don't know. I'm hoping to get the ROF 5 tomorrow so we'll see how it goes. I caught one 9lber on the ROF 16 on a bed and it stayed hooked.
