I'd like to ask you guys...When your sputnik lead does get hung up on some bottom rocks in a position where, in spite of its collapsible legs, you end up having to break it off, where is the desired breaking point and how do you achieve ensuring that it does break off at that point? I'm asking advise because I found out last week where I think I'd rather avoid the failure point to be because I ended donating 15 yards of braid, hook, swivel, steel leader AND sputnik. Is there a way to get it to break where you only lose the sinker and not the whole top shot/shock leader? If a few of you would let me know how your personal sequence goes from reel arbor to sinker that would be super helpful...ie:This is mine (from arbor to sinker) Main running line, 250yds 40# mono to 30 feet of 65# braid as top shot/shock leader via double uni to 3-way swivel via uni to 80# Fluorocarbon via uni to 120# snap swivel via uni with 6oz sputnik clipped to it. Obviously the failure point is at the double uni connecting the 65# braid to 40# mono because the 40# is the weakest link in the chain. Do I just live with this or is there a better way to do it without snapping off during initial cast?
