How did you lose those 3 fish? Before you start blaming your gear I would test your terminal connections. That being said what did you lose them on. I had some good lessons from a friend who made me test my knots with actual weight. He filled a bucket with 25 pounds of weights and had me tie knots to a collection ring. I learned the problem was not my gear. Did you have clean breaks of your line or curly ques at the end or did they just come unbuttoned? You may need to beef up your knot arsenal before you start dropping coin.
