heres what i may do to prevent pulling the guts out:

1-replace the treble with a gamakatsu im thinkin 2/0.

2-get some 40 lb flourocarbon and tie a polamar knot to the barrel swivel thing thats above the hook.

3-tie the other end 2-3"es back onto a split ring with the same hook, same knot.

4-get a wire of some kind, a light paperclip perhaps.

5-thread the wire, in this case straightened paperclip, thru the split ring.

6-wrap wire around split ring once.

7-cut paperclip 1-2"es long.

8-insert paperclip ends into osprey on oppisite sides of splitring.

this will happen if a fish catches the back treble: the wire will come un-inserted from the rubber, and wont rip, and if it does, it will be very little.

what are your thoughts on this??
