The last big fish that I lost wasn't due to gear failure, it was all Roby's fault. Anyway, congrats and keep putting that time on the water.........it pays off!!

As far as your bait pump goes don't rule out the fact that your actual pump might be going bad, I'm going on my 3rd pump in 8years. If you get a new battery and you're still having issues (short battery life) it's definitely going to be your pump.

Thank you, sounds like it is time to upgrade to some heavier duty hooks/mono/braid - and if the battery doesn't do it, sounds like I'll be shopping for a new pump as well - Do they make a heavier duty replacement for the pump in the hobie bait tank?
