Someone needs to start a big bird tackle site with all of these bird hooking experts on here. I have never fished salt water but I do know what it's like to get spooled out completely. I've had 20 lb. plus catfish nail whatever jig I was throwing on different occasions, along with some in the 50lb. class, and had them take off straight up or down stream in heavy river current. That's a tall order when you are throwing 8lb. test. I have landed a few big channel, flat head, blue, and Mississippi white catfish under those circumstances but I have lost a lot more.
