What size hook is that? I need to order more src salt hooks, was looking at the sl113h in size 8 as a contender.
If you decide you don't need 3X strong for searuns, the Umpqua U401 would be another hook option that goes down to size 8.

their response: "I am sorry to hear about the fly line breaking like that. No, I have not heard of that happening."
RIO - Replace It OftenAh - Rio! Hike a mile and half with a float tube, fins, net, fly boxes, two rods/reels, waders, food and a float tube only to break your floater in half. Oh, not ah, Rio. Oh sh--! Thanks to Engee thinking instead of cussing (I might have been), he square knotted the line back together.

As the weather deteriorated (it got windy with some pretty strong gusts), I went ashore to warm up, eat my PBJ and observe my friends deal with the wind.
I decided to fish from shore with that square knotted floating WF6F Rio Grand** fishing a vampire leech tied jig style, I hung it under a bobber.

Hey, a PNWFF hat and a smallish trout that took the vampire leech.

** For giggles, I contacted Far Bank and told them I'd hiked into a lake only to have my Rio line break. I asked them how often they hear about their lines breaking like this, their response: "I am sorry to hear about the fly line breaking like that. No, I have not heard of that happening."
