Braid Break Off Problems
I fished a tournament today and I started c rigging a lizards with 65 pound braid with a 15 pound mono leader. I broke off 5 fish and only landed one. I didn't fish the c rig anymore because I was so tired of breaking them off on the hookset. The only thing I could think of as me setting the hook hard and the mono not being shock absorbant enough to not break. I don't think the rod would do it, but I was fishing a all start classic carolina rig rod. I took the rod home and put 15 pound mono on the rod. Has anyone had problems like this before?

Crankbait Id
I found these 3 bank fishing, within the past year sitting in the mud and hung on stumps and rocks. I took them home, cleaned them up, and took the old hooks off them. The first one is a dt6 but I can't find the color on rapala's website. The other two look like a japanese crank to me. Edit: sorry for the sideways pics. I can't figure out how to flip them.

On A Roll And You Lost The Lure Or Run Out Of Plastics?
I ran out of flukes the other day. I tried other things but I didn't get them to hit anything else. I bought 6 more packs the next day to make sure I don't run out.

Didn't weight it. I would rather miss low than high. I will call it 7 pounds.

Dipping Reel In Water
I know this is probably a stupid question but does it hurt the reel to dip it into the water? I have tried really hard the past few weeks wading for crappie. It would be a lot easier to just put it into the water when I am putting a fish into the fish basket. I just don't want to ruin a perfectly good pflueger president by putting it into the water.
