I do too Steve  but the ones I found have SS springs, the lower price SS ones have carbon steel springs.  The brass ones all have carbon steel springs that WILL fail.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Here's my rod mounted securely in my couch rod holder using an Aftco flat line clip attached to the rod clamp. Line would enter the water from a much lower angle and elevation. Problem solved!

My biggest fish (until the Bluefin days) was a 140 lb Bigeye that hit a trolled Zuker first thing in the morning.  My rod strap was homemade, 1/2" 3 strand hard lay rope with Klein snaps short spliced in.  I worked on line crews back in those days, and learned a few things.  Reel was a 6/O with a bronze spool, Rod was a Calstar 6465xxh.

But the color is different for some of us.

Those guys in Pt. Loma Sportfishing are nice, if I was working there and saw all those happy folks outside, I guess I might be a bit envious too.
